The inflammation present in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and thereby associated injury to the alveolar-capillary membrane and pulmonary surfactant can potentiate respiratory failure. Even considering the high mortality rate of severe ARDS, glucocorticoids appear to be a reasonable treatment option along with an appropriate route of delivery to the distal lung. This study aimed to investigate the effect of budesonide therapy delivered intratracheally by high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) on lung function and inflammation in severe ARDS. Adult New Zealand rabbits with respiratory failure (P/F<13.3 kPa) induced by intratracheal instillation of hydrochloric acid (HCl, 3 ml/kg, pH 1.5) followed by high tidal ventilation (VT 20 ml/kg) to mimic ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) were treated with intratracheal bolus of budesonide (0.25 mg/kg, Pulmicort) delivered by HFOV (frequency 8 Hz, MAP 1 kPa, deltaP 0.9 kPa). Saline instead of HCl without VILI with HFOV delivered air bolus instead of therapy served as healthy control. All animals were subjected to lung-protective ventilation for 4 h, and respiratory parameters were monitored regularly. Postmortem, lung injury, wet-to-dry weight ratio, leukocyte shifts, and levels of cytokines in plasma and lung were evaluated. Budesonide therapy improved the lung function (P/F ratio, oxygenation index, and compliance), decreased the cytokine levels, reduced lung edema and neutrophils influx into the lung, and improved lung architecture in interstitial congestion, hyaline membrane, and atelectasis formation compared to untreated animals. This study indicates that HFOV delivered budesonide effectively ameliorated respiratory function, and attenuated acid-induced lung injury in a rabbit model of severe ARDS.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which counts more than 650 million cases and more than 6.6 million of deaths worldwide, affects the respiratory system with typical symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and fatigue. Other nonpulmonary manifestations are related with abnormal inflammatory response, the "cytokine storm", that could lead to a multiorgan disease and to death. Evolution of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 provided multiple options to prevent the infection, but the treatment of the severe forms remains difficult to manage. The cytokine storm is usually counteracted with standard medical care and anti-inflammatory drugs, but researchers moved forward their studies on new strategies based on cell therapy approaches. The perinatal tissues, such as placental membranes, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord derivatives, are enriched in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that exert a well-known anti-inflammatory role, immune response modulation, and tissue repair. In this review, we focused on umbilical-cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) used in in vitro and in vivo studies in order to evaluate the weakening of the severe symptoms, and on recent clinical trials from different databases, supporting the favorable potential of UC-MSCs as therapeutic strategy.

The development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is known to be independently attributable to aspiration-induced lung injury. Mechanical ventilation as a high pressure/volume support to maintain sufficient oxygenation of a patient could initiate ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and thus contribute to lung damage. Although these phenomena are rare in the clinic, they could serve as the severe experimental model of alveolar-capillary membrane deterioration. Lung collapse, diffuse inflammation, alveolar epithelial and endothelial damage, leakage of fluid into the alveoli, and subsequent inactivation of pulmonary surfactant, leading to respiratory failure. Therefore, exogenous surfactant could be considered as a therapy to restore lung function in experimental ARDS. This study aimed to investigate the effect of modified porcine surfactant in animal model of severe ARDS (P/F ratio =13.3 kPa) induced by intratracheal instillation of hydrochloric acid (HCl, 3 ml/kg, pH 1.25) followed by VILI (V(T) 20 ml/kg). Adult rabbits were divided into three groups: untreated ARDS, model treated with a bolus of poractant alfa (Curosurf®, 2.5 ml/kg, 80 mg phospholipids/ml), and healthy ventilated animals (saline), which were oxygen-ventilated for an additional 4 h. The lung function parameters, histological appearance, degree of lung edema and levels of inflammatory and oxidative markers in plasma were evaluated. Whereas surfactant therapy with poractant alfa improved lung function, attenuated inflammation and lung edema, and partially regenerated significant changes in lung architecture compared to untreated controls. This study indicates a potential of exogenous surfactant preparation in the treatment of experimental ARDS.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by diffuse lung damage, inflammation, oedema formation, and surfactant dysfunction leading to hypoxemia. Severe ARDS can accelerate the injury of other organs, worsening the patient´s status. There is an evidence that the lung tissue injury affects the right heart function causing cor pulmonale. However, heart tissue changes associated with ARDS are still poorly known. Therefore, this study evaluated oxidative and inflammatory modifications of the heart tissue in two experimental models of ARDS induced in New Zealand rabbits by intratracheal instillation of neonatal meconium (100 mg/kg) or by repetitive lung lavages with saline (30 ml/kg). Since induction of the respiratory insufficiency, all animals were oxygen-ventilated for next 5 h. Total and differential counts of leukocytes were measured in the arterial blood, markers of myocardial injury [(troponin, creatine kinase - myocardial band (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LD)] in the plasma, and markers of inflammation [tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha, interleukin (IL)-6], cardiovascular risk [galectin-3 (Gal-3)], oxidative changes [thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), 3-nitrotyrosine (3NT)], and vascular damage [receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)] in the heart tissue. Apoptosis of heart cells was investigated immunohistochemically. In both ARDS models, counts of total leukocytes and neutrophils in the blood, markers of myocardial injury, inflammation, oxidative and vascular damage in the plasma and heart tissue, and heart cell apoptosis increased compared to controls. This study indicates that changes associated with ARDS may contribute to early heart damage what can potentially deteriorate the cardiac function and contribute to its failure.
