This project will investigate the epidemiology of ARDS and the evolution of the inflammatory process in patients with acute lung injury. The epidemiological aspects will focus on refining our clinical criteria that predict patients at high risk for the onset of ARDS, and identifying these patients as early as possible before the onset of lung injury. Our major hypothesis is that uncontrolled and sustained alveolar inflammation increases the severity of ARDS and prolongs its course, and that sustained inflammation is more likely to occur when ARDS follows sepsis syndrome than multiple trauma. We also will investigate the hypothesis that the pattern of the inflammatory response in blood and lungs is an important determinant of whether lung inflammation persists of resolves. Important components of the inflammatory response that we intend to study include; 1) a coordinated sequence of cytokines in blood and lung lavage fluid; 2) the expression of adhesion molecules on blood leukocytes; 3) circulating markers of diffuse endothelial injury (VWF and ELAM1); 4) products of the arachidonic acid cascade; 5) the induction of endogenous proteins that modify the host response to bacterial products such as endotoxin; and 6) inflammatory cell populations and proteins in the lung. We will correlate patterns of inflammation with clinical risks,critical clinical events, and outcome measures. We expect that our results will provide: a) a better understanding of the evolution of inflammation in clinical conditions leading to lung injury; b) a better understanding of the mechanisms of the initial injury and its propagation; and c) information that will help predict the course and outcome in individual patients. We also expect that these data will be useful in guiding the choice and timing of specific therapeutic interventions.

该项目将调查ARDS的流行病学和演变 研究急性肺损伤患者的炎症过程。这个 流行病学方面将集中于完善我们的临床标准 预测ARDS发病的高危患者，并确定 这些患者应尽早在肺损伤发病前就诊。我们的 主要假设是失控和持续的肺泡炎 增加ARDS的严重性并延长其病程， 当ARDS继发脓毒症时，更有可能发生持续性炎症 综合征而不是多发性创伤。我们还将调查这一假设 血液和肺部的炎症反应模式是一种 肺部炎症是否持续或消退的重要决定因素。 我们打算研究的炎症反应的重要组成部分 包括：1)血液和肺灌洗中细胞因子的协调序列 液体；2)血白细胞表面黏附分子的表达；3) 弥漫性内皮损伤的循环标志物(VWF和ELAM1)； 花生四烯酸级联产物；5)内源 改变宿主对细菌产品的反应的蛋白质，如 内毒素；以及6)肺内的炎性细胞群和蛋白质。 我们将把炎症模式与临床风险联系起来， 临床事件和结果测量。我们预计，我们的结果将 提供：a)更好地了解炎症的演变 导致肺损伤的临床条件；b)更好地了解 最初伤害的机制及其传播；c) 有助于预测个人的进程和结果的信息 病人。我们还预计，这些数据将有助于指导 具体治疗干预措施的选择和时机。
