Previous studies have reported that circulating levels of soluble thrombomodulin (TM) reflect endothelial injuries, which play key roles in the development of ARDS.
The dysregulation of EPCR and TM in the lung, especially in those with increased levels of hemozoin, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of malaria-associated ARDS through an apoptotic pathway.
In addition, CS delivery exposes infants to a higher risk of respiratory distress syndrome and its concomitant increase in endothelin-1 levels, which might indirectly lead to a higher risk of developing PPHN.
When patients with VAP developed adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), their plasma MCP-1 concentrations were significantly higher than those of patients who did not develop ARDS (<i>p</i> = 0.04).
Flow cytometry demonstrated that albumin levels and numbers of inflammatory cells (Ly6G+/CD14+/CD68+/CD11<sup>b/c</sup>+) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were the highest in untreated ARDS, were progressively reduced across SW, Mito, and SW + Mito (all <i>p</i> < 0.0001), and were the lowest in sham controls.
Our in vivo results demonstrated that Gln treatment reduced ET release (as indicated by cell-free-DNA content and myeloperoxidase activity), decreased lung inflammation (reductions in interferon-γ and increases in interleukin-10 levels), and improved lung morpho-function (decreased static lung elastance and alveolar collapse) in comparison with ARDS animals treated with saline.
In this study, we showed that Nef reduced lung-capillary permeability, down-regulated the production of cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10) and inhibited the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARDS.

The protective effect of special electromagnetic field treated water and far infrared rays on endotoxin-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome may result from their role in reducing the levels of IL-1<i>β</i> and IL-6 in serum and the expression level of p65 protein in lung tissue, in addition to reliving inflammatory response, lung coefficient, and lungs edema.
Furthermore, tracheal aspirate levels of IL-6 were significantly increased in premature neonates with respiratory distress syndrome who had an adverse outcome (bronchopulmonary dysplasia/death).
The absence (deletion, D) rather than the presence (insertion, I) of a 287 base pair fragment in the ACE gene is associated with higher circulating and tissue ACE activity, with excess mortality in critical illness (including adult acute respiratory distress syndrome and paediatric meningococcal infection) and with worse functional outcome from traumatic brain injury.
In addition, these alleles significantly reduced transcription factor binding to the S1PR3 promoter; reduced S1PR3 promoter activity, a response particularly striking after TNF-α challenge; and were associated with lower plasma S1PR3 protein levels in ARDS patients.
Polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene and angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in transient tachypnea of neonate and respiratory distress syndrome.
To investigate and discuss the effect of early treatment with pulmonary surfactant (PS) on oxygenation functions in neonates with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), to understand the expression trend of serum transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) in children with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), and to provide help for early prevention and treatment of NRDS.
Lnc-IL7R relative value ≥ 0.33 showed the lower 28-day mortality in the patients with ARDS(P < .05).The survivors showed higher lnc-IL7R level and lower APACHE II score, SOFA score and length of mechanical ventilation than in the non-survivors (P = .0109, P < .001, P < .001 and P = .017, respectively).
Blood was collected within 24 h of admission for the measurement of angiopoietin-2 (ANG-2), sE-selectin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels.ARDS was monitored for the next 7 days.
In the newly enrolled ARDS cases, TGF-beta 1 levels, as measured by luciferase assay, were elevated in the 11 of 13 samples, averaging 98 +/- 40 pg/mg protein.
The serum levels of Ang-2 were higher in AE-IIPs and ALI/ARDS patients than in IPF patients and HVs; the BALF levels of Ang-2 were also higher than in IPF patients.
When the APACHE2 score was used in combination with the LIPS and ANG-2 level to predict ARDS, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was not significantly increased.
In patients with major trauma, IL-8 levels were significantly higher in patients that progressed to ARDS compared to those that did not (n = 56, P = 0.0001).
