    Abstract Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has become a pandemic affecting more than 4.1 million people worldwide. Patients with COVID-19 have a wide spectrum of manifestations, one being cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and its fatal correlate, secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH). Anti-cytokine therapy such as tocilizumab, an IL-6 receptor antagonist, is a potential treatment for COVID-19; however, data regarding the efficacy of this anti-IL-6 therapy are currently lacking. We report two cases of patients who received a diagnosis of COVID-19 complicated by CRS and were treated with tocilizumab. Both patients progressed to sHLH despite treatment with tocilizumab, and one developed viral myocarditis, challenging the safety and clinical usefulness of tocilizumab in the treatment of COVID-19-induced CRS. These cases highlight the need for clinical trials to determine optimal patient selection and timing for the use of tocilizumab during this disease process.

    Abstract Recent literature continues to refine which components of the early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) algorithm are necessary. Given it utilizes central venous pressure, continuous central venous oxygen saturation, routine blood transfusions, and inotropic medications, this algorithm can be timely, invasive, costly, and potentially harmful. New trials highlight early recognition, early fluid resuscitation, appropriate antibiotic treatment, source control, and the application of a multidisciplinary evidence-based approach as essential components of current sepsis management. This article discusses the landmark sepsis trials that have been published over the past several decades and offers recommendations on what should currently be considered 'usual care'.

    Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a highly morbid lung pathology induced by exposure to chemical warfare agents, including vesicants, phosgene, chlorine, and ricin. In this review, we describe the pathology associated with the development of ARDS in humans and experimental models of acute lung injury following animal exposure to these high-priority threat agents. Potential future approaches to disease-modifying treatment used in preclinical animal studies, including antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, biologics, and mesenchymal stem cells, are also described. As respiratory pathologies, including ARDS, are the major cause of morbidity and mortality following exposure to chemical threat agents, understanding mechanisms of disease pathogenesis is key to the development of efficacious therapeutics beyond the primary intervention principle, which remains mechanical ventilation.

    Abstract The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has put tremendous pressure on the medical system. Imaging plays a complementary role in the management of patients with COVID-19. Computed tomography (CT) and chest X-ray (CXR) are the two dominant screening tools. However, difficulty in eliminating the risk of disease transmission, radiation exposure and not being cost-effective are some of the challenges for CT and CXR imaging. This fact induces the implementation of lung ultrasound (LUS) for evaluating COVID-19 due to its practical advantages of noninvasiveness, repeatability, and sensitive bedside property. In this paper, we utilize a deep learning model to perform the classification of COVID-19 from LUS data, which could produce objective diagnostic information for clinicians. Specifically, all LUS images are processed to obtain their corresponding local phase filtered images and radial symmetry transformed images before fed into the multi-scale residual convolutional neural network (CNN). Secondly, image combination as the input of the network is used to explore rich and reliable features. Feature fusion strategy at different levels is adopted to investigate the relationship between the depth of feature aggregation and the classification accuracy. Our proposed method is evaluated on the point-of-care US (POCUS) dataset together with the Italian COVID-19 Lung US database (ICLUS-DB) and shows promising performance for COVID-19 prediction.

    Abstract Macrophage efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils (PMNs) plays a key role in the resolution of inflammation. In these studies, we describe a novel flow cytometric method to assess efferocytosis of apoptotic PMNs. Resident alveolar macrophages and PMNs were collected from lungs of mice exposed to inhaled ozone (0.8 ppm, 3 h) followed by lipopolysaccharide (3 mg/kg, i.v.) to induce acute lung injury. PMNs were labeled with PKH26 or DilC

    Abstract Nitrogen mustard (NM) is a cytotoxic vesicant known to cause acute lung injury which progresses to fibrosis. Alveolar Type II cells are primarily responsible for surfactant production; they also play a key role in lung repair following injury. Herein, we assessed the effects of NM on Type II cell activity. Male Wistar rats were administered NM (0.125 mg/kg) or PBS control intratracheally. Type II cells, lung tissue and BAL were collected 3 d later. NM exposure resulted in double strand DNA breaks in Type II cells, as assessed by expression of γH2AX; this was associated with decreased expression of the DNA repair protein, PARP1. Expression of HO-1 was upregulated and nitrotyrosine residues were noted in Type II cells after NM exposure indicating oxidative stress. NM also caused alterations in Type II cell energy metabolism; thus, both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation were reduced; there was also a shift from a reliance on oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis for ATP production. This was associated with increased expression of pro-apoptotic proteins activated caspase-3 and -9, and decreases in survival proteins, β-catenin, Nur77, HMGB1 and SOCS2. Intracellular signaling molecules important in Type II cell activity including PI3K, Akt2, phospho-p38 MAPK and phospho-ERK were reduced after NM exposure. This was correlated with dysregulation of surfactant protein production and impaired pulmonary functioning. These data demonstrate that Type II cells are targets of NM-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress. Impaired functioning of these cells may contribute to pulmonary toxicity caused by mustards.
