the Mechanism of the Downregulation of Dopamine Receptor in Mechanical Ventilation Induced Lung Injury
In Brief
An observational study evaluating mechanical ventilation for Acute Lung Injury. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Dopamine(DA) is a common neurotransmitter that has been known to regulate behavior, movement, cardiovascular,endocrine and gastrointestinal functions, but also functions as an important molecule engaging in the immune systems to possess anti-inflammatory effects. However, its role in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is still unclear. Herein, this study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of dopamine on ventilation-induced lung endothelial barrier dysfunction and explore the possible underlying molecular mechanisms.
