Therefore, the gas transfer characteristics of lungsurfactant film are of fundamental physiological interest.
2
The experimental results suggest that lungsurfactant plays a role in oxygen transfer in the pulmonary system.
3
In addition to their effects on alveolar surface tension, some components of lungsurfactant also have immunological functions.
4
The source of FA in the lung is believed to be phosphatidylcholine, the major component of lungsurfactant.
5
The mechanism by which lungsurfactant achieves very low near-zero surface tensions, well below its equilibrium value, is not fully understood.
1
It has been reported that pulmonarysurfactants or their components could facilitate the uptake of small interfering RNA (siRNA) into the lung epithelial cells.

1
Secretion of pulmonarysurfactant in the alveoli of the lungs is essential to maintain lung function.
2
Mixtures of PxB and pulmonarysurfactant show antimicrobial effects in neonatal rabbits and prevent systemic spreading of E. coli.
3
In neonatal pneumonia, the surface activity of pulmonarysurfactant is impaired and microorganisms may invade by passing the air-liquid interface.
4
Recent studies have demonstrated that pulmonarysurfactant protein (SP)-A plays a potential role in modifying inflammation and immune function.
5
However, it is vital that corticosteroids delivered via the lungs not interfere with surface activity of the pulmonarysurfactant lining layer.
6
This study has implications in the fundamental understanding of surface thermodynamics as well as applications such as self-assembled monolayers and pulmonarysurfactant biophysics.
7
We demonstrated that the increased absorption resulted from DPPC that had permeation enhancer properties even though it was abundantly present locally in pulmonarysurfactant.
8
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by arterial hypoxemia accompanied by severe inflammation and alterations to the pulmonarysurfactant system.
9
Inhaled NP penetrate deep pulmonary structures in which they first interact with the pulmonarysurfactant (PS) lining at the alveolar air-water interface.
10
Objective: Our goal was to examine the effects of oligohydramnios and cervical cord transection on fetal lung development, pulmonarysurfactant, and lung mechanics in rabbits.
11
Hydrophobic protein of 6,000 and 14,000 daltons was isolated from mammalian pulmonarysurfactant obtained from canine, human, and bovine alveolar lavage material.
12
Pulmonarysurfactant acts at this air-liquid interface.
13
Pulmonarysurfactant dysfunction may significantly contribute to small airway obstruction during the asthmatic response, but neither its exact role nor its regulation is clear.
14
It has been reported that pulmonarysurfactants or their components could facilitate the uptake of small interfering RNA (siRNA) into the lung epithelial cells.
15
Pulmonarysurfactant (PS) dysfunction because of the leakage of serum proteins into the alveolar space could be an operative pathogenesis in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
