Project description:To investigate the effect of mechanical ventilation and mechanical ventilationon with PEEP application on diaphragmatic dysfunction, we established a model of mechanical ventilation on New Zealand rabbit, in which rabbits in the experimental group were ventilated with/without PEEP application for 48 hours continuously
Project description:This experiment investigated the role of mechanical ventilation (MV) in modulating lung's transcriptional response to LPS. Twenty four C57/B6 male mice were randomized to four groups: 1. Control, 2. MV, 3. LPS and 4. MV+LPS. Expression profiling of whole lungs revealed a significant augmentation of the transcriptional response in the combined MV+LPS group relative to the other 3 conditions. Keywords: repeat sample
