Background The use of volume-targeted ventilation (VTV) in neonatology has been introduced in the last decade. This study was performed to determine the impact of clinical implementation of volume-targeted conventional mechanical ventilation using the volume guarantee mode in mechanical ventilation of all neonates needing mechanical ventilation compared to pressure-limited ventilation (PLV) modes. The mortality rate, duration of mechanical ventilation, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were the primary outcomes of the study...

BACKGROUND: Perinatal inflammation increases the risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm neonates, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain largely unknown. Given their anti-inflammatory and regenerative capacity, multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC) are a promising cell-based therapy to prevent and/or treat the negative pulmonary consequences of perinatal inflammation in the preterm neonate. Therefore, the pathophysiology underlying adverse preterm lung outcomes following perinatal inflammation and pulmonary benefits of MAPC treatment at the interface of prenatal inflammatory and postnatal ventilation exposures were elucidated...

BACKGROUND: Immediately after birth, the oxygen saturation is between 30 and 50%, which then increases to 85-95% within the first 10 min. Over the last 10 years, recommendations regarding the ideal level of the initial fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2 ) for resuscitation in preterm infants have changed from 1.0, to room air to low levels of oxygen (< 0.3), up to moderate concentrations (0.3-0.65). This leaves clinicians in a challenging position, and a large multi-center international trial of sufficient sample size that is powered to look at safety outcomes such as mortality and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes is required to provide the necessary evidence to guide clinical practice with confidence...

BACKGROUND: Chronic lung disease of prematurity (CLD) is the most prevalent complication of preterm birth and indicates an increased likelihood of long-term pulmonary complications. The accurate diagnosis of this condition is critical for long-term health management. Numerous definitions define CLD with different clinical parameters and radiology findings, making diagnosis of the disease ambiguous and potentially inaccurate. METHODS: 95 patients were identified for this study, as determined by the diagnosis or confirmation of CLD in the impression of the radiologist's report on chest x-ray...

BACKGROUND: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a major complication affecting the survival rate and long-term outcomes of preterm infants. A large, prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted to evaluate early nutritional support during the first week of life for preterm infants with a gestational age < 32 weeks and to verify nutritional risk factors related to BPD development. METHODS: A prospective multicenter cohort study of very preterm infants was conducted in 40 tertiary neonatal intensive care units across mainland China between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021...

Quercetin, a bioactive natural compound renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties, has exhibited therapeutic potential in various diseases. Given that bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) development is closely linked to inflammation and oxidative stress, and quercetin, a robust antioxidant known to activate NRF2 and influence the ferroptosis pathway, offers promise for a wide range of age groups. Nonetheless, the specific role of quercetin in BPD remains largely unexplored...

Respiratory disease is one of the most common complications of preterm birth. Survivors of prematurity have increased risks of morbidities and mortalities independent of prematurity, and frequently require multiple medications, home respiratory support, and subspecialty care to maintain health. Although advances in neonatal and pulmonary care have improved overall survival, earlier gestational age, lower birth weight, chorioamnionitis and late onset sepsis continue to be major factors in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia...

While perinatal medicine advancements have bolstered survival outcomes for premature infants, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) continues to threaten their long-term health. Gene-environment interactions, mediated by epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA regulation, take center stage in BPD pathogenesis. Recent discoveries link methylation variations across biological pathways with BPD. Also, the potential reversibility of histone modifications fuels new treatment avenues...

Respiratory insufficiency is almost ubiquitous in infants born preterm, with its incidence increasing with lower gestational age. A wide range of respiratory support management strategies are available for these infants, separable into non-invasive and invasive forms of respiratory support. Here we review the history and evolution of respiratory care for the preterm infant and then examine evidence that has emerged to support a non-invasive approach to respiratory management where able. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the non-invasive respiratory support mode currently with the most evidence for benefit...

RATIONALE: A hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in premature infants has been associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, these associations remain incompletely understood. OBJECTIVES: The aim was to assess the association between hsPDA duration with clinical outcomes, PH, and phenotypic differences on lung MRI. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study identified all infants with BPD <32 weeks gestation who also underwent a research lung MRI <48 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) from 2014-2022...

To compare the effects of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) with other forms of synchronized artificial ventilation in preterm infants. A systematic review of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials with individual group allocation, both parallel-group trials as well as crossover trials, that included preterm infants born at less than 37 weeks gestational age and compared NAVA with any other form of synchronized mechanical ventilation with or without volume guarantee. Primary outcomes were death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks, total duration of respiratory support and neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years...

Cellular senescence is a status of irreversible growth arrest, which can be triggered by the p53/p21cip1 and p16INK4 /Rb pathways via intrinsic and external factors. Senescent cells are typically enlarged and flattened, and characterized by numerous molecular features. The latter consists of increased surfaceome, increased residual lysosomal activity at pH 6.0 (manifested by increased activity of senescence-associated beta-galactosidase [SA- β -gal]), senescence-associated mitochondrial dysfunction, cytoplasmic chromatin fragment, nuclear lamin b1 exclusion, telomere-associated foci, and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype...

Chronic lung disease of prematurity or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common complication of preterm birth. Nutrition may affect incidence and severity of BPD. In this context, the Section on Nutrition, Gastroenterology and Metabolism, the Pulmonary Section of the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) and SPR have joined forces to review the current knowledge on nutritional issues related to BPD. The aim of this narrative review is to discuss the clinical implications for nutritional practice...

We aimed to determine the composite maternal hemorrhagic outcome (CMHO) among individuals with and without HDP, stratified by disease severity. Additionally, we investigated the composite neonatal adverse outcome (CNAO) among individuals with HDP who had versus did not have PPH. Our retrospective cohort study included all singletons who delivered at a Level IV center over two consecutive years. The primary outcome was the rate of CMHO, defined as blood loss ≥ 1000 mL, use of uterotonics, mechanical tamponade, surgical techniques for atony, transfusion, venous thromboembolism, ICU admission, hysterectomy, or maternal death...

RATIONALE: The chronic lung disease bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most severe complication of extreme prematurity. BPD results in impaired lung alveolar and vascular development and long-term respiratory morbidity, for which only supportive therapies exist. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) improve lung structure and function in experimental BPD. Results of clinical trials with MSCs for many disorders do not yet match the promising preclinical studies...

BACKGROUND: Novel therapies are needed for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) because no effective treatment exists. Mesenchymal stromal cell extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) have therapeutic efficacy in a mouse pup neonatal hyperoxia BPD model. We tested the hypothesis that MSC-sEVs will improve lung functional and structural development in mechanically ventilated preterm lambs. METHODS: Preterm lambs (~129d; equivalent to human lung development at ~28w gestation) were exposed to antenatal steroids, surfactant, caffeine citrate, and supported by mechanical ventilation for 6-7d...

OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to identify factors impacting nutrition needs in infants and children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). A modified Delphi approach to obtain consensus among pediatric registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) was used to create a BPD-specific nutrition focused physical examination (NFPE) tool. STUDY DESIGN: RDNs, recruited through pediatric nutrition professional associations, completed a survey rating proposed NFPE components on a Likert scale of 1-5 allowing open-ended responses in a two-round Delphi...

BACKGROUND: Currently, there is a lack of effective treatments or preventive strategies for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Pre-clinical studies with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have yielded encouraging results. The safety of administering repeated intravenous doses of umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) has not yet been tested in extremely-low-gestational-age newborns (ELGANs). AIMS: to test the safety and feasibility of administering three sequential intravenous doses of UC-MSCs every 7 days to ELGANs at risk of developing BPD...

Preterm birth disrupts the normal sequence of lung development. Additionally, interventions that support gas exchange, including positive pressure ventilation and supplemental oxygen can further exacerbate lung injury, increasing the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in infants born preterm. Approximately 50,000 preterm infants each year in the United States develop BPD. Heterogeneous lung pathology involving the upper and lower respiratory tract can contribute to the BPD phenotype and can be age-dependent...
