    Limiting Overdistention or Collapse when Mechanically Ventilating Injured Lungs: A Randomized Study in a Porcine Model

    Investgiators compared positive end-expiratory pressure targeting either minimal overdistention, minimal collapse or using a compromise between collapse and overdistention in a randomized trial, and assess the impact on respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, inflammation, and hemodynamics.

    Abstract

    Stress Stimulation Promotes the Injury Repair Process of Airway Epithelial Cells through the [Cl−]i-FAK Signaling Axis

    Scientists found that H2O2 induced an elevation in [Cl−]i by modulating the expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and Ca-activated transmembrane protein 16 A in airway epithelial cells, whereas lipopolysaccharide achieved this solely through CFTR.
