ALI/ARDS患者使用保护性通气策略对于肺部损伤的影响

急性肺损伤(ALI)和急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)是常见的临床综合征,绝大多数ALI/ARDS患者需机械通气治疗,机械通气在提供可接受的肺部气体交换的同时治疗基础疾病,但机械通气本身也会引起肺部损伤,即机械通气性肺损伤(VILI)。而通过调整机械通气参数的设置,使用保护性通气策略可显著减低ALI/ARDS患者机械通气性肺损伤程度,从而减少肺部感染,缩短机械通气时间和住院时间,降低28天死亡率,明显改善ALI/ARDS患者的生存质量,起到最大程度地肺保护作用。本文从气道平台压,通气容积,呼气末正压等几个不同通气参数方面分别进行综述,讨论ALI/ARDS患者机械通气时使用保护性通气策略对于肺部损伤的影响。

细胞因子在ARDS发病机制中的作用

细胞因子是由多种细胞产生的多肽或低分子糖蛋白,在人体内含量极微,在pg水平就发挥作用。作为特异性免疫反应和非特异性免疫反应的蛋白质,细胞因子以自分泌、旁分泌、或内分泌方式产生,与相应的细胞表面受体结合,在局部或全身发挥复杂的生物学效应,它们的代谢异常和疾病的发生、发展有着密切的关系。有些细胞因子已应用于临床的生物学治疗,具有深远的临床应用价值,故对细胞因子的研究将是一个越来越重要的课题。急性肺损伤(ALI)/急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)发病机制错综复杂,大量临床和实验室研究证明多种效应细胞释放的炎症介质是造成ARDS的"中心环节",其中TNF-α、IL-1、IL-8、IL-10、CXC趋化因子等细胞因子在ARDS发病中的作用尤为重要。本文就细胞因子在ARDS发病机制中的作用做一综述。

miR-146b overexpression ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in vivo and in vitro

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of acute lung injury (ALI), which causes high morbidity and mortality. So far, effective clinical treatment of ARDS is still limited. Recently, miR-146b has been reported to play a key role in inflammation. In the present study, we evaluated the functional role of miR-146b in ARDS using the murine model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. The miR-146b expression could be induced by LPS stimulation, and miR-146b overexpression was required in the maintenance of body weight and survival of ALI mice; after miR-146b overexpression, LPS-induced lung injury, pulmonary inflammation, total cell and neutrophil counts, proinflammatory cytokines, and chemokines in bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were significantly reduced. The promotive effect of LPS on lung permeability through increasing total protein, albumin and IgM in BAL fluid could be partially reversed by miR-146b overexpression. Moreover, in murine alveolar macrophages, miR-146b overexpression reduced LPS-induced TNF-α and interleukin (IL)-1β releasing. Taken together, we demonstrated that miR-146b overexpression could effectively improve the LPS-induced ALI; miR-146b is a promising target in ARDS treatment.     

Metabolic profiling in human lung injuries by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)

We present a method for identifying biomarkers in human lung injury. The method is based on high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy applied to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected from lungs of critically ill patients. This biological fluid can be obtained by bronchoscopic and non-bronchoscopic methods. The type of lung injury in acute respiratory failure presenting as acute lung injury (ALI) and its severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), continues to challenge critical care physicians. We characterize different metabolites in BAL fluid by non-bronchoscopic method (mBALF) for better diagnosis and understanding of ALI/ARDS by NMR spectroscopy. NMR spectra of mBALF collected from 30 patients (9 controls, 10 ARDS and 11 ALI) were analyzed for the identification of biomarkers. Statistical methods such as principal components analysis and partial least square discriminant analysis were carried out on ¹H NMR spectrum of mBALF to identify biomarker responsible for separation among different lung injuries classes (ALI and ARDS) and normal lungs. The corresponding correlation of biomarkers with metabolic cycle has given insight into metabolism of lung injuries in critically ill patients. Our study shows statistically significant differentiation of various metabolites concentration in mBALF collected from lungs of ALI, ARDS and healthy control patients, making NMR spectroscopy as a possible new method of characterizing human lung injury.     

Lipopolysaccharide-induced CCN1 production enhances interleukin-6 secretion in bronchial epithelial cells

Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a clinical complication caused by primary or secondary lung injury, as well as by systemic inflammation. Researches regarding molecular pathophysiology of ALI/ARDS are immerging with an ultimate aim towards developing prognostic molecular biomarkers and molecule-based therapy. However, the molecular mechanisms concerning ALI/ARDS are still not completely understood. The purpose of the present study was to identify a crucial role of CCN1 in inflammatory microenvironment during ALI/ARDS and focus on a potential communication between CCN1 and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the airway epithelial cells. Our data illustrated that the expression levels of CCN1 and IL-6 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI mouse model were significantly elevated and the pulmonary expression of CCN1 was restricted to bronchial epithelial cells. Interestingly, both endogenous and exogenous CCN1 stimulated IL-6 production in vitro. Furthermore, LPS-induced IL-6 production in a bronchial epithelial cell line was blocked by CCN siRNA whereas CCN1 induced by LPS was sensitive to PI3K inhibition. Together, our data indicate a linear signal pathway, LPS-CCN1-IL-6, existing in bronchial epithelial cells after LPS exposure. This finding may represent an additional mechanism and a novel target for development of therapy and biomarker on ALI/ARDS.     

Protein C and thrombomodulin in human acute lung injury

Decreased circulating protein C and increased circulating thrombomodulin are markers of the prothrombotic, antifibrinolytic state associated with poor outcomes in sepsis but have not been measured in patients with ALI (acute lung injury)/ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). We measured circulating and intra-alveolar protein C and thrombomodulin in 45 patients with ALI/ARDS from septic and nonseptic causes and correlated the levels with clinical outcomes. Plasma protein C levels were lower in ALI/ARDS compared with normal. Lower levels of protein C were associated with worse clinical outcomes, including death, fewer ventilator-free days, and more nonpulmonary organ failures, even when only patients without sepsis were analyzed. Levels of thrombomodulin in pulmonary edema fluid from ALI/ARDS patients were >10-fold higher than normal plasma and 2-fold higher than ALI/ARDS plasma. Higher edema fluid thrombomodulin levels were associated with worse clinical outcomes. The higher levels in edema fluid compared with plasma suggest local release of soluble thrombomodulin in the lung, possibly from a lung epithelial source. To determine whether lung epithelial cells can release thrombomodulin, A549 cells and primary isolates of human alveolar type II cells were exposed to H2O2 or inflammatory cytokines. Both epithelial cell types released thrombomodulin into the media. In summary, the protein C system is markedly disrupted in patients with ALI/ARDS from both septic and nonseptic causes. The protein C system may be a potential therapeutic target in patients with ALI/ARDS.

Cytokine-mediated inflammation in acute lung injury

Clinical acute lung injury (ALI) is a major cause of acute respiratory failure in critically ill patients. There is considerable experimental and clinical evidence that pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory-induced lung injury from sepsis, pneumonia, aspiration, and shock. A recent multi-center clinical trial found that a lung-protective ventilatory strategy reduces mortality by 22% in patients with ALI. Interestingly, this protective ventilatory strategy was associated with a marked reduction in the number of neutrophils and the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines released into the airspaces of the injured lung. Further research is needed to establish the contribution of cytokines to both the pathogenesis and resolution of ALI.     

Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung nach ARDS und septischem Schock

Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) define medical conditions of acute respiratory insufficiency deriving from direct and indirect damage of the alveolar parenchyma and often associated with multiorgan dysfunction (MODS). As a rule, intensive care is based on mechanical ventilation often requiring high doses of sedatives and narcotics. Despite major progress in intensive care medicine the rate of mortality is still very high. Whereas in the past the level of medical progress has been rated based on the mortality rate alone, the many negative somatic and psychological sequelae in long-term-survivors of ARDS are only now being appreciated. From a perspective of C/L psychiatry persisting cognitive dysfunctions, anxiety and mood disorders, posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) in their negative impact on health-related quality of life are intensively investigated. In the etiopathogenesis of PTSD associated with ALI/ARDS, many influences have to be discussed, e.g., increases in CO₂ triggering panic affects, a mismatch of norepinephric overstimulation and cortisol insufficiency, negative effects of high doses of benzodiazepines resulting in oversedation, prolonged phases of weaning and more frequent states of delirium. Consolidation and retrieval of traumatic memories of the ICU stay are influenced by complex factors. From a clinical point of view prophylactic stress doses of hydrocortisone may reduce the major risk of PTSD associated with ALI / ARDS.
