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.

Pharmacological properties and therapeutic activity of Russian-manufactured pulmonary surfactants

TL;DR: Three pulmonary surfactant preparations: from human amniotic fluid, from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and from cattle lung tissue homogenate were tested in preclinical studies and showed nontoxic, posses no mutagenic, teratogenic, and allergic activities and do not modify visceral morphology after repeated injections.

Serial bronchoalveolar lavage of preterm infants is not associated with chest radiological changes.

TL;DR: Repeated non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage in newborn infants does not appear to be associated with radiological changes suggesting that surfactant is not constantly removed.

Inhaled nitric oxide during partial liquid ventilation shifts pulmonary blood flow to the non-dependent lung regions.

TL;DR: Inhaled NO during PLV shifted the pulmonary blood flow to the non-dependent region and improved pulmonary gas exchange, suggesting that inhaled NO took effect predominantly in theNon- dependent region duringPLV.

High-performance reoxygenation from PLGA-PEG/PFOB emulsions: a feedback relationship between ROS and HIF-1α.

TL;DR: The feedback relationship between reactive oxygen species and HIF-1 plays an essential role in improving cell viability and it is anticipated that the emulsion will be applied in the field of alleviating hypoxemia.

TL;DR: Intensive therapy may modify the acute syndrome so as to permit the development of a previously unrecorded abnormality of hyaline-membrane disease.

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.

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
