Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) may initiate or worsen lung injury, so-called
ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Although different mechanisms of VILI have been …

Acute lung injury (ALI), as a common clinical emergency, is pulmonary edema and diffuse
lung infiltration caused by inflammation. The lack of non-invasive alert strategy, resulting in …

Tumor vascular physiology is an important determinant of disease progression as well as
the therapeutic outcome of cancer treatment. Angiogenesis or the lack of it provides crucial …

Purpose Uncontrolled intra-alveolar inflammation is a central pathogenic feature, and its
severity translates into a valid prognostic indicator of acute lung injury (ALI). Unfortunately …
