A theoretical study of surfactant and liquid delivery into the lung.
A computational study is presented for the transport of liquids and insoluble surfactant through the lung airways, delivered from a source at the distal end of the trachea. Four distinct transport regimes are considered: 1) the instilled bolus may create a liquid plug that occludes the large airways but is forced peripherally during mechanical ventilation; 2) the bolus creates a deposited film ...
متن کاملEffect of ventilation rate on instilled surfactant distribution in the pulmonary airways of rats.
Liquid can be instilled into the pulmonary airways during medical procedures such as surfactant replacement therapy, partial liquid ventilation, and pulmonary drug delivery. For all cases, understanding the dynamics of liquid distribution in the lung will increase the efficacy of treatment. A recently developed imaging technique for the study of real-time liquid transport dynamics in the pulmon...
متن کاملThe effect of Environmental exposure to some chemical solvents on DPPC as important component of lung surfactant: an ab initio study
One of the main components of lung alveoli is surfactant. DPPC (Dipalmitolphosphatidylcholine) is thepredominant lipid component in lung surfactant that is responsible for lowering surface tension in alveoli in thisarticle. We used a very approximate model with computational method of Ab initio to describe the interactionsbetween DPPC as important component of lung surfactant and some chemical ...
متن کاملRegulation of surfactant secretion in alveolar type II cells.
Molecular mechanisms of surfactant delivery to the air/liquid interface in the lung, which is crucial to lower the surface tension, have been studied for more than two decades. Lung surfactant is synthesized in the alveolar type II cells. Its delivery to the cell surface is preceded by surfactant component synthesis, packaging into specialized organelles termed lamellar bodies, delivery to the ...
متن کاملInteraction and micellar behavior of aqueous mixtures of surface active ionic liquid and cationic surfactant: experimental and theoretical studies
The interaction between an ionic liquid (1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide or IL) and cationic surfactant (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)) in aqueous solution has been investigated at various mole fractions and temperature 30 ˚C using experimental and theoretical methods. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of pure components and their binary mixtures, mixed micellar compositi...
