Journal ArticleDOI

Antibacterial Effect of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Is Mediated in Part from Secretion of the Antimicrobial Peptide LL‐37

TL;DR: Human bone marrow‐derived MSCs possess direct antimicrobial activity, which is mediated in part by the secretion of human cathelicidin hCAP‐18/ LL‐37, analysis of expression of major antimicrobial peptides indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lower tidal volume ventilation and plasma cytokine markers of inflammation in patients with acute lung injury.

TL;DR: In patients with acute lung injury, plasma interleukin-6 and interleucin-8 levels are associated with morbidity and mortality, suggesting that clinical risk factor should be considered when both developing and testing therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sepsis: pathophysiology and clinical management

TL;DR: Outcomes in sepsis have greatly improved overall, probably because of an enhanced focus on early diagnosis and fluid resuscitation, the rapid delivery of effective antibiotics, and other improvements in supportive care for critically ill patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung epithelial fluid transport and the resolution of pulmonary edema.

TL;DR: There is convincing evidence that active sodium and chloride transporters are expressed in the distal lung epithelium and are responsible for the ability of the lung to remove alveolar fluid at the time of birth as well as in the mature lung when pathological conditions lead to the development of pulmonary edema.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allogeneic human mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of E. coli endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in the ex vivo perfused human lung.

TL;DR: Treatment with allogeneic human MSCs or the conditioned medium restores normal fluid balance in an ex vivo perfused human lung injured by E. coli endotoxin.
