Lung surfactant.
Aspects of pulmonary surfactant are reviewed from a biochemical perspective. The major emphasis is on the lipid components of surfactant. Topics reviewed include surfactant composition, cellular and subcellular sites as well as pathways of biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, disaturated phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. The surfactant system in the developing fetus and neonate is c...
متن کاملThe Pulmonary Surfactant: Impact of Tobacco Smoke and Related Compounds on Surfactant and Lung Development
Cigarette smoking, one of the most pervasive habits in society, presents many well established health risks. While lung cancer is probably the most common and well documented disease associated with tobacco exposure, it is becoming clear from recent research that many other diseases are causally related to smoking. Whether from direct smoking or inhaling environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), terme...
متن کاملBAL Fluid Surfactant Protein C Level Is Related to Parenchymal Lung Disease in Children With Sarcoidosis
We appreciate the interest of Dr Barbarito and colleagues in our recent study 1 comparing the total face mask (TFM) with oronasal mask (ONM) for the treatment of acute respiratory failure in patients receiving noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Our primary (mask comfort and time to apply) and secondary (vital signs and gas exchange parameters over time) end points showed no differences. In the inte...

متن کاملDynamic behavior of lung surfactant.
We have previously developed an adsorption-limited model to describe the exchange of lung surfactant and its fractions to and from an air-liquid interface in oscillatory surfactometers. Here we extend this model to allow for diffusion in the liquid phase. Use of the model in conjunction with experimental data in the literature shows that diffusion-limited transport i.s important for characteriz...
