Protective effect of vitamin D on radiation-induced lung injury: Experimental evidence
Background: Vitamin D, especially its most active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃(Vit D) is essential in regulating a wide variety of biologic processes, such as regulating mesangial cell activation. The objective of this study was to assess the histopathological changes of effectiveness of Vit D as a protective agent against radiation induced lung injury. Materials and Methods: Eighteen Wi...
متن کاملProtective role of statins against ventilator-induced lung injury
experiment on the protective role of simvastatin against ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Th eir results are in line with those of a relevant study published recently by our research team; we also showed that pretreatment with statins (specifi cally atorvastatin) attenuates VILI [2]. By synthesizing the fi ndings of the above contributions [1,2], one could make several points. First, give...
متن کاملStatins in the critically ill
The use or misuse of statins in critically ill patients recently attracted the attention of intensive care clinicians. Indeed, statins are probably the most common chronic treatment before critical illness and some recent experimental and clinical data demonstrated their beneficial effects during sepsis, acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or after aneurismal sub...
متن کاملVitamin E May Protect Against Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury.
REPLY: Vitamin E May Protect Against Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury McCullough et al. (1) reviewed the pathophysiology and treatment options for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). They stated that no effective adjunctive pharmaceutical had been demonstrated that either prevented or treated CI-AKI. However, they also suggested that of the agents being investigated, statins were...
متن کاملEffects of therapeutic hypercapnia on mesenteric ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Hypercapnic acidosis protects against direct lung injury in in vivo and ex vivo models, however, lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome commonly occurs after a nonpulmonary etiology. We investigated whether therapeutic hypercapnia (TH)-deliberate elevation of carbon dioxide (CO2) tension-would protect against lung injury after splanchnic ischemia-reperfusion injury in an in vivo model....
