This study explores the anti-inflammatory properties of lupeol, a notable phytosterol found in various medicinal plants, highlighting its potential as candidate for new drug development. We examined effects lupeol on heme oxygenase (HO)-1, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), well impact inflammatory markers lung tissues LPS-challenged mice. Lupeol treatment enhanced HO-1 production, inhibited nuclear factor (NF)-κB activity, reduced levels COX-2/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) iNOS/nitric (NO). In addition, decreased phosphorylation signal transducer activator transcription 1 (STAT-1) promoted translocation erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2), enhancing binding to anti-oxidant response element (ARE) subsequently reducing interleukin (IL)-1β expression. vivo, significantly lowered iNOS expression tumor necrosis (TNF)-α bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from LPS-treated These findings suggest that exerts by modulating key signaling pathways, positioning it promising development novel therapeutics targeting pathological inflammation.

This review outlines the evolution ARDS definitions, discusses underlying pathophysiology ARDS, examines implications its heterogeneity. Traditional definitions required invasive mechanical ventilation relied on arterial blood gas measurements to calculate PaO2/FiO2 ratio. Recent updates have expanded these criteria include patients receiving noninvasive support, such as high-flow nasal oxygen, adoption SpO2/FiO2 ratio an alternative While changes broaden diagnostic criteria, they also introduce additional complexity. heterogeneity—driven varying etiologies, subphenotypes, biological mechanisms—highlights limitations uniform management approach.

This study aims explore differences in immune responses between and non-kidney COVID-19-induced ARDS identify potential therapeutic targets for improving outcomes. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on 108,320 cells derived from peripheral blood samples construct a global single-cell map induced recipients(ARDSKT), non recipients(ARDSNKT), healthy controls. Subsequently, using cellular clustering analysis, we obtained maps different cell types.
