ABSTRACT: Etiology of lower respiratory tract infections in children requiring mechanical ventilation: a multicenter prospective surveillance study incorporating airway metagenomics
Project description:This project was a prospective translational study aimed at evaluating gene expression profiles (GEP) of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) . GEP of VAP were compared with a control group of patients which did not developed ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract infection despite being subjected to mechanical ventilation.
Project description:In 1967, the term "respirator lung" was coined to describe the diffuse alveolar infiltrates and hyaline membranes that were found on postmortem examination of patients who had undergone mechanical ventilation.This mechanical ventilation can aggravate damaged lungs and damage normal lungs. In recent years, Various ventilation strategies have been used to minimize lung injury, including low tide volume, higher PEEPs, recruitment maneuvers and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. which have been proved to reduce the occurrence of lung injury.
In 2012,Needham et al. proposed a kind of lung protective mechanical ventilation, and their study showed that limited volume and pressure ventilation could significantly improve the 2-year survival rate of patients with acute lung injury.Volume controlled ventilation is the most commonly used method in clinical surgery at present.Volume controlled ventilation(VCV) is a time-cycled, volume targeted ventilation mode, ensures adequate gas exchange. Nevertheless, during VCV, airway pressure is not controlled.Pressure controlled ventilation(PCV) can ensure airway pressure,however minute ventilation is not guaranteed.Pressure controlled ventilation-volume guarantee(PCV-VG) is an innovative mode of ventilation utilizes a decelerating flow and constant pressure. Ventilator parameters are automatically changed with each patient breath to offer the target VT without increasing airway pressures. So PCV-VG has the advantages of both VCV and PCV to preserve the target minute ventilation whilst producing a low incidence of barotrauma pressure-targeted ventilation.
Current studies on PCV-VG mainly focus on thoracic surgery, bariatric surgery and urological surgery, and the research indicators mainly focus on changes in airway pressure and intraoperative oxygenation index.The age of patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection is generally higher, the cardiopulmonary reserve function is decreased, and the influence of intraoperative pneumoperitoneum pressure and low head position increases the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative pulmonary complications.Whether PCV-VG can reduce the incidence of intraoperative lung injury and postoperative pulmonary complications in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, and thereby improve postoperative recovery of these patients is still unclear.

Project description:Study on mechanical ventilation
Project description:Children have a lower incidence and mortality from acute lung injury than adults, and infections are the most common event associated with acute lung injury (ALI). To study the effects of age on susceptibility to ALI, we investigated the responses to microbial products combined with mechanical ventilation in juvenile (21 day) and adult (16 week-old) mice. We hypothesized that the increased incidence and severity of lung injury associated with increasing age is due in large part to acquired changes in the way in which inflammatory responses are activated in the lungs in response to microbial products and mechanical ventilation.

We hypothesized that the increased incidence and severity of lung injury associated with increasing age is due in large part to acquired changes in the way in which inflammatory responses are activated in the lungs in response to microbial products and mechanical ventilation. Juvenile (21 day) and adult (16 week) C57BL/6 mice were treated with an aerosol of E. coli 0111:B4 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (20 mL of 0.1 mg/mL) for 30 minutes in a sealed aerosol chamber, immediately followed by mechanical ventilation (LPS+MV) using tidal volume = 15 mL/kg, rate = 80 breaths/min, FiO2 = 30% and positive end expiratory pressure = 2 cm H2O for the duration of the study period time = 2 hours. Comparison groups included mice treated with LPS or mechanical ventilation (MV) alone, and untreated age-matched controls. There were N = 4 animals per group except the juvenile mice treated with MV alone and LPS+MV where there were N = 3. Each sample was an individual animal, therefore there were 30 samples. Mice treated with LPS alone were placed into a sealed aerosol chamber as stated above, and then allowed to breath spontaneously with free access to food and water for the duration of the study period time = 2 hours. Mice treated with MV alone were treated with the mechanical ventilation protocol stated above for the duration of the study period time = 2 hours. At the end of the study period, the mice were euthanized, and the lungs were immediately removed and placed into RNAlater (Ambion, Austin, TX) for at least 24 hr prior to isolation of total lung mRNA.
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:In the present study we seek to identify changes in lung gene expression under mechanical ventilation in uninjured as well as acutely and chronically injured lungs. A standard volume-controlled lung-protective ventilatory protocol is compared to a concept of mechanical ventilation using variable tidal volumes.
Project description:Sepsis is a highly heterogeneous syndrome that impacts immune function and response to infection. To develop targeted therapeutics, immunophenotyping is needed to identify distinct immune cell functional phenotypes. Employing organ-on-chip for neutrophil functional analysis, we identified three distinct sepsis neutrophil phenotypes based on adhesion and migration patterns across human lung endothelial cells in response to cytokine activation (cytomix, TNF/IL-1β/IFNγ). The phenotypes were categorized as: a Hyperimmune phenotype characterized by enhanced cytomix-induced neutrophil adherence and migration, a Hypoimmune phenotype that was unresponsive to cytomix treatment, and a Hybrid phenotype with increased adherence but blunted migration in response to stimulation. Proteomic analysis identified both unique and shared proteins between the three phenotypes as compared to healthy controls. Proteins associated with neutrophil adherence were significantly upregulated in the Hyperimmune and Hybrid neutrophils, while the Hypoimmune group showed significant downregulation of these proteins. Clinically, the Hypoimmune group had significantly fewer patients requiring mechanical ventilation (29%) compared to the Hyperimmune group (70%). The Hypoimmune group and Hybrid group had significantly shorter ICU length of stay (LOS) than the Hyperimmune group. The Hypoimmune group also showed a trend for a lower mortality rate (35.7%) compared to the Hyperimmune group (50%). Thus, we identified associations between neutrophil phenotypes and important clinical outcomes, such as mechanical ventilation requirements, ICU LOS, and possibly mortality. Classification of sepsis patient phenotypes with diverse functional neutrophil responses and proteomic signatures can help distinguish patients who would benefit from specific treatments, such as immunosuppressive therapies and those who may be negatively impacted.
Project description:We analyzed mRNA profiles in tracheal aspirates from 53 newborns receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. Twenty-six infants were extremely preterm diagnosed with BPD and twenty-seven were term babies receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for elective procedure. Specific mRNA signatures in TAs may serve as potential biomarkers for extreme prematurity and BPD pathogenesis.
