[Assessment of positive end-expiratory pressure induced lung volume change by ultrasound in mechanically ventilated patients].
To investigate the value of lung ultrasound for assessing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) -induced lung volume change in mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) . ⋯ PEEP-induced lung volume change can be adequately estimated with bedside lung ultrasound. Since lung ultrasound cannot assess PEEP-induced lung hyperinflation, it should not be the sole method for PEEP titration.

[Tanshinone IIA sulfonate upregulated pulmonary artery smooth muscle peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ expression in monocrotaline induced pulmonary hypertension rat].
To investigate the effect of sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS) on rat right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), mean right ventricular pressure (MRVP), right ventricular hypertrophy index [RV/(LV+S)], pulmonary vascular remodeling, and PPARγ protein expression in pulmonary artery smooth muscle of monocrotaline (MCT) induced rat pulmonary hypertension model. ⋯ STS markedly decreased RVSP,MRVP, RV/(LV+S) and pulmonary vascular remodeling in MCT induced pulmonary hypertension rat, and PPARγ might be targeted as a key molecule during STS treatment.
