متن کاملAcute Lung Injury after Phosgene Inhalation
Phosgene (COCl2) is a colorless oxidant gas which is heavier than air and the lethal exposure dose (LC50) in humans is 500 ppm/min. This gas was originally manufactured as an agent for chemical warfare during World War I and there had been a great deal of studies on phosgene poisoning during the early years of industrial use. It is still widely used in the synthesis of chemicals and plastics. I...
متن کاملUpdate on PPHN: mechanisms and treatment.
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a syndrome of failed circulatory adaptation at birth, seen in about 2/1000 live born infants. While it is mostly seen in term and near-term infants, it can be recognized in some premature infants with respiratory distress or bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Most commonly, PPHN is secondary to delayed or impaired relaxation of the pulmonary v...
متن کاملSulfur Mustard- and Phosgene- Increased Il-8 in Human Small Airway Cell Cultures: Implications for Medical Countermeasures against Inhalation Toxicity
Inflammation and edema are associated with respiratory and cutaneous exposure to sulfur mustard (SM) as well as with phosgene-induced lung injury. IL-8 is a key inflammatory cytokine that recruits neutrophils linked with the onset and progression of acute lung injury caused by inhalation of these chemical agents. In the present study, human lung small airway cell (SAC) cultures were exposed to ...
