Abstract
This review focuses on methods to image acute lung inflammation with Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Four approaches are discussed that differ for biologic function of the PET reporter probe, radiotracer employed, and the specific aspect of the inflammatory response that is targeted. 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) is an enzyme substrate whose uptake is used to measure the metabolic activation of inflammatory cells during acute lung injury in the noncancerous lung. H2 15O and radiolabeled plasma proteins are inert molecules with the same physical characteristics as their nonradioactive counterparts and are used to measure edema and vascular permeability. Tagged enzyme or receptor inhibitors are used to probe expression of these targets induced by inflammatory stimuli. Lastly, cell-specific tracers are being developed to differentiate the cell types that contribute to the inflammatory response. Taken together, these methods cast PET imaging as a versatile and quantitative tool to measure inflammation in vivo noninvasively during acute and ventilator-induced lung injury.

Abstract
This review focuses on the advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of ventilator-induced and acute lung injury that have been afforded by technological development of imaging methods over the last decades. Examples of such advances include the establishment of regional lung mechanical strain as a determinant of ventilator-induced lung injury, the relationship between alveolar recruitment and overdistension, the regional vs. diffuse nature of pulmonary involvement in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the identification of the physiological determinants of the response to recruitment interventions, and the pathophysiological significance of metabolic alterations in the acutely injured lung. Taken together, these advances portray multimodality imaging as the next frontier to both advance knowledge of the pathophysiology of these conditions and to tailor treatment to the individual patient's condition.

Xiao C, Yu Y, Liu Y, Yang J. Aerosol inhalation of edaravone can improve inflammation, oxidative stress and pulmonary function of rats with smoke inhalation injury by down-regulating miR-320. Am J Transl Res 2021; 13:2563-2570. [PMID: 34017415 PMCID: PMC8129403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 12/04/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the protective effects and related mechanism of aerosol inhalation of edaravone on inflammation, oxidative stress and pulmonary function (PF) in rats with smoke inhalation injury. METHODS Twenty-four rats were stochastically and equally divided into four groups: group A (edaravone-preventing group), group B (model group), group C (low-dose group) and group D (high-dose group). The serum of rats was collected to determine the expression of miR-320, inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10), oxidative stress indexes (MDA, SOD, MPO) and oxygenation index (OI). Pulmonary tissues of rats were collected to determine the total lung water (TLW), wet-to-dry ratio (W/D) and other parameters. HE staining was adopted for pathological evaluation. RESULTS Compared with group B, the levels of miR-320, TNF-α, IL-6, MDA, MPO, TLW and W/D in group A were significantly down-regulated, while IL-10, SOD and OI levels were significantly up-regulated, and the trend of this change was more obvious than that in group C and group D, with notably better improvement degree in group D than group C. In HE staining, the pulmonary tissue structure was basically normal in group A, and was better than that of the other three groups. In group B, the pulmonary tissue was seriously damaged, accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration and alveolar wall thickening. The pathological condition of group C was notably ameliorated, the extent of this improvement was more pronounced in group D, and the degree of pathological improvement in group D was superior to that in group C. CONCLUSION Aerosol inhalation of edaravone in advance can reduce the levels of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress indexes in serum of smoke inhalation injury rats, thus protecting PF, which may be related to the down-regulation of miR-320 by edaravone.

Abstract
Various degrees of pulmonary insufficiency (PI) (PaO2 ≤60 mm Hg, SaO2 ≤90%) are diagnosed in most of patients with severe acute stroke (AS). Frequency and severity of PI positively correlates with the severity of AS. PI worsens patient's condition, prolongs the hospitalization period, and increases the probability of fatal outcome. Early clinical signs of PI may be undiagnosed due to the severity of stroke and thus not treated. The initiating pathogenic mechanism of PI is stress-related activation of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and systemic immunosuppression. In severe stroke with mass effect, the rapid and significant increase in intracranial pressure may additionally activate the SNS. Risk factors of PI include older age, previous pulmonary disease, prolonged supine position, respiratory muscle dysfunction, apnea, and concomitant somatic diseases. Decompensation of somatic diseases leads to multiple stage reactions with facilitation of functional and morphologic changes in the pulmonary system, hypoxemia and hypoxia, promotes infectious complications and multiple organ failure and worsens neurological outcome. Diagnosis and treatment of PI in AS decreases mortality and improves rehabilitation prognosis.

Abstract
In recent years, imaging has given a fundamental contribution to our understanding of the pathophysiology of acute lung diseases. Several methods have been developed based on computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging that allow regional, in vivo measurement of variables such as lung strain, alveolar size, metabolic activity of inflammatory cells, ventilation, and perfusion. Because several of these methods are noninvasive, they can be successfully translated from animal models to patients. The aim of this paper is to review the advances in knowledge that have been accrued with these imaging modalities on the pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Abstract
The acute chest syndrome (ACS) is the main cause of mortality among adult patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Its pathophysiology is still unclear. Using positron emission tomography (PET) with F-fluorodeoxyglucose [18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG)], we explored the relationship between regional lung density and lung metabolism, as a reflection of lung neutrophilic infiltration during ACS.Patients were prospectively enrolled in a single-center study. Dual modality chest PET/computed tomography (CT) scans were performed, with F-FDG emission scans for quantification of regional F-FDG uptake and CT scans with radiocontrast agent to check for pulmonary artery thrombosis. Regional lung F-FDG uptake was quantified in ACS patients and in SCD patients without ACS (SCD non-ACS controls). Maximal (SUVmax) and mean (SUVmean) standardized uptake values were computed.Seventeen patients with ACS (mean age 28.3 ± 6.4 years) were included. None died nor required invasive mechanical ventilation. The main lung opacity on CT scans was lower lobe consolidation. Lungs of patients with ACS exhibited higher SUVmax than those of SCD non-ACS controls (2.5 [2.1-2.9] vs 0.8 [0.6-1.0]; P < 0.0001). Regional SUVmax and SUVmean was higher in lower than in upper lobes of ACS patients (P < 0.001) with a significant correlation between lung density and SUVmax (R = 0.78). SUVmean was higher in upper lobes of ACS patients than in lungs of SCD non-ACS controls (P < 0.001). Patients with SUVmax >2.5 had longer intensive care unit (ICU) stay than others (7 [6-11] vs 4 [3-6] days; P = 0.016).Lungs of patients with ACS exhibited higher F-FDG uptake than SCD non-ACS controls. Lung apices had normal aeration and lower F-FDG uptake than lung bases, but higher F-FDG uptake than lungs of SCD non-ACS controls. Patients with higher lung F-FDG uptake had longer ICU stay than others.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common inherited condition caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane regulator protein. With increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying CF and the development of new therapies there comes the need to develop new outcome measures to assess the disease, its progression and response to treatment. As there are limitations to the current endpoints accepted for regulatory purposes, a workshop to discuss novel endpoints for clinical trials in CF was held in Anaheim, California in November 2011. The pros and cons of novel outcome measures with potential utility for evaluation of novel treatments in CF were critically evaluated. The highlights of the 2011 workshop and subsequent advances in technologies and techniques that could be used to inform the development of clinical trial endpoints are summarized in this review.
