Apoptotic mechanisms in rabbits with blast-induced acute lung injury

Acta cir. bras; 33 (10), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the apoptotic mechanisms in rabbits with blast-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Methods: A total of 40 rabbits were randomly divided into a blank control group (A, n=10) and an experimental group (EXP, n=30). Explosion-induced chest-ALI models were prepared and sampled...

Neutrophil elastase ameliorates matrix metalloproteinase-9 to promote lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in mice 1

Acta cir. bras; 31 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate the regulatory roles of neutrophil elastase (NE) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. METHODS: To construct LPS-induced ALI mouse models, wild-type C57BL/6 mice were administered 5.0 mg/kg of LPS t...

Effects of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide 1826 on acute radiation-induced lung injury in mice

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: The radiation-induced lung injury is a common complication from radiotherapy in lung cancer. CpG ODN is TLR9 activator with potential immune modulatory effects and sensitization of radiotherapy in lung cancer. This study aimed to examine the effect of CpG ODN on acute radiation-induced lung i...
