Aim: To assess whether the levels of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory proteins in gastric fluid of premature infants shortly after birth are associated with the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Methods: Gastric fluid retrieved withi

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common inflammatory lung disease in premature infants. To study the hypothesis that the sensitivity of the lung to inflammatory injury depends on the developmental stage, we studied postnatal lung development in

Little is known about the influence of maternal inflammation on neonatal outcome. Production of IL-1beta in the lungs of newborn infants is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Using bitransgenic (bi-TG) mice in which human (h) IL-1beta is exp

Pulmonary inflammation and increased production of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta are associated with the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants. To study the actions of IL-1beta in the fetal and newborn lung in vivo

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of the pleural fluid vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level with the diagnostic category and with the pleural fluid characteristics in a group of 70 patients.The VEGF levels of consec

Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a specific pulmonary vasodilator. By serving as a pro-oxidant or antioxidant, iNO may influence other pulmonary functions as well. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that iNO affects the alveolar lining after

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a cytokine that promotes white cell maturation, participates in the metabolism of pulmonary surfactant. Little is known on the production of GM-CSF during pregnancy or the neonatal period. We

Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) may modify surfactant either by interacting with the surfactant complex or by changing the capacity of the proteins of the epithelial lining fluid to inhibit the surface activity. Natural surfactant was exposed to NO (80 par

The production of pulmonary surfactant, a complex of lipids and proteins that reduces surface tension at the alveolar air-liquid interface, is developmentally regulated. Several hormones, most notably glucocorticoids, are known to accelerate maturati

The contribution of neutrophils and CXC chemokines to the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is not well defined. The transgenic expression of IL-1β in the pulmonary epithelium causes lung inflammation and disrupts alveolar development in in
