We hypothesize that polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) margination (sequestration) in the lung is an important early event in the development of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and that this event is regulated by the activation and expression of adhesion molecules. The overall objective of this proposal is to predict which high risk patients will develop ARDS before they enter a respiratory distress stage. We will take advantage of a widely used scintigraphic imaging procedure, 111-Indium labeled autologous white blood cells in an attempt to measure margination in various organs, particularly lung, during the progressive development of ARDS. Further, we will also determine if changes in adhesion molecule expression on PMN correlate with the 111-Indium imaging analysis, clinical status, or if adhesion molecule expression itself can be used as a predictive tool. The approach involves the recruitment of a select group of patients at high risk for developing ARDS.

我们假设，多形核白细胞（PMN）边缘化（隔离）在肺是一个重要的早期事件，在急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）的发展，这一事件是由粘附分子的激活和表达调节。 该提案的总体目标是预测哪些高危患者在进入呼吸窘迫阶段之前将发展为ARDS。 我们将利用一种广泛使用的血管造影成像程序，111-铟标记的自体白色血细胞，试图测量在ARDS进行性发展过程中各种器官，特别是肺的边缘化。 此外，我们还将确定PMN上粘附分子表达的变化是否与111-铟成像分析、临床状态相关，或者粘附分子表达本身是否可用作预测工具。 该方法包括招募一组有发展为ARDS高风险的精选患者。
