TLDR
Using adult guinea‐pigs, an experimental model in which alveolar surfactant phospholipids are removed by repeated lung lavage in viao, and in which the short‐term survival of the animals is ensured by artificial ventilation is proposed.
Abstract
Using adult guinea-pigs, we have developed an experimental model in which alveolar surfactant phospholipids are removed by repeated lung lavage in vivo, and in which the short-term survival of the animals is ensured by artificial ventilation. Blood gases, parameters of lung mechanics, and histologic and electron microscopic findings indicate that the lavage procedure induces a condition similar to the adult respiratory distress syndrome. We propose that our technique might be used for evaluation of pharmacological agents and various forms of artificial ventilation which have been suggested for treatment of this disease.

Vitamin A Is Systemically Bioavailable After Intratracheal Administration With Surfactant in an Animal Model of Newborn Respiratory Distress

TL;DR: The hypothesis that intratracheal vitamin A administration with surfactant is systemically bioavailable without interfering with the functional properties of exogenous surfactan is tested, which was associated with rapid hepatic uptake.

A novel experimental model of acute respiratory distress syndrome in pig.

TL;DR: The present model of the ARDS is clinically relevant and thus it is suitable for further research of the pathophysiology and management of this serious medical condition.

Location of the Hydrophobic Surfactant Proteins, SP-B and SP-C, in Fluid-Phase Bilayers

TL;DR: This work used X-ray diffuse scattering (XDS) and molecular dynamics simulations to determine the location of SP-B and SP-C within phospholipid bilayers and provides the most definitive evidence yet concerning the location and orientation of the hydrophobic surfactant proteins.

Tidal changes in PaO2 and their relationship to cyclical lung recruitment/derecruitment in a porcine lung injury model.

TL;DR: This study in a porcine model of collapse‐prone lungs did not demonstrate the expected association between PaO2 oscillation amplitude and the degree of recruitment/derecruitment, and suggests that changes in pulmonary ventilation are not the sole determinant of changes in PaO 2 during mechanical ventilation in lung injury.

Optimal learning control of oxygen saturation using a policy iteration algorithm and a proof-of-concept in an interconnecting three-tank system

TL;DR: The simulation results demonstrate the optimal control of oxygenation based on the proposed PIA by iteratively evaluating the Hamiltonian cost functions and synthesizing the control actions until achieving the converged optimal criteria.

Pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia following hyaline membrane disease.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the most important factor in the pathogenesis of BPD following HMD is mechanical trauma to the lung from the use of excessively high peak airway pressures during mechanical ventilation.

"Alveolar" and whole lung phospholipids of newborn lambs.

TL;DR: It is concluded that respiration of the newborn has a profound effect both mechanically and metabolically upon the liberation and elaboration of surface-active material.

Effect of pulmonary lavage on lung lecithin synthesis in the Syrian hamster.

TL;DR: Bronchopulmonary lavage with 0.15 m saline stimulated the uptake of [1,2-14C]choline into both the surface-active dipalmitoyl lecithin (DPL) and the unsaturated leCithins (UPC) of Syrian hamster lung, consistent with the view that alveolar lecitins are secreted by the tissue into the alveoli and that unsaturatedLecithins are the precurs
