Abstract:
Hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI) is an important complication of clinical oxygen therapy, which is mainly characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adults and broncho-pulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in infants. HALI seriously affects the prognosis and quality of life of patients, so it has received more and more attention. However, the pathogenesis of HALI is complex and unclear, and there is no clear treatment method at present. Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is an important type of functional RNA transcriptome. Due to the lack of effective open reading frame, ncRNA does not have the function of coding proteins. However, ncRNA can still regulate gene expression at multiple levels and affect the occurrence and development of many diseases. In recent years, a large number of in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that ncRNA is involved in the pathogenesis of HALI and is of great significance. This article reviews the expression and significance of ncRNA in HALI, in order to provide new diagnosis and treatment ideas for the prevention and treatment of HALI.

Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

01:23Physiological Control of Respiration
Breathing, a seemingly passive process, is regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem. This center coordinates the involuntary control of respirations, which means it occurs without conscious effort, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted pattern.
Regulation of Ventilation
The body maintains ventilation by monitoring levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in the arterial blood. Among these factors, the level of CO2 plays a crucial...

Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...
