Alteration of gut microbiota can affect chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, through abnormal immune and inflammatory responses. Previous studies have shown a feasible connection between gut microbiota and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. However, whether BPD can be ameliorated by restoring the gut microbiota remains unclear. In preterm infants with BPD, we found variance in the diversity and structure of gut microbiota. Similarly, BPD rats showed gut dysbiosis, characterized by a deficiency of Lactobacillus, which was abundant in normal rats...

INTRODUCTION: Breastfeeding is one of the strategies that has been shown to be effective in preventing severe forms of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). When mother's own milk (MOM) is not available, pasteurized donor milk (DM) is the best alternative. However, the evidence is inconclusive on the difference in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) between patients fed MOM and those fed with DM. As standard DM is usually mature pooled milk donated by mothers who have delivered their babies at term, the potential benefits of preterm milk may be lost...

Deferred cord clamping (DCC) has been associated with reduced mortality in preterm infants, and a period of at least 30 s has been recommended before clamping. However, preterm infants assessed as being in need of resuscitation have often had earlier cord clamping. In this study, we aimed to compare neonatal outcomes for preterm infants undergoing DCC who established early breathing movements compared to those who were not breathing. After a 5 yr recruitment period, we recently completed the ABC study, in which preterm infants <31 weeks undergoing 50 s of DCC who were not breathing by 15 s of age were randomised into two groups: one received intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) and the other was a standard group, which received no breathing support...

INTRODUCTION: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) poses a substantial global health burden. Individualized treatment strategies based on early prediction of the development of BPD can mitigate preterm birth complications; however, previously suggested predictive models lack early postnatal applicability. We aimed to develop predictive models for BPD and mortality based on immediate postnatal clinical data. METHODS: Clinical information on very preterm and very low birth weight infants born between 2008 and 2018 was extracted from a nationwide Japanese database...

BACKGROUND: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections may lead to severe consequences in infants born preterm with breathing problems (such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)) or congenital heart diseases (CHD). Since studies investigating the influence of different gestational age (WGA) and concomitant specific comorbidities on the burden of RSV infections are scarce, the present study aimed to better characterize these high-risk populations in the Italian context...

BACKGROUND: Invasive mechanical ventilation contributes to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the most common complication of prematurity and the leading respiratory cause of childhood morbidity. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) may limit invasive ventilation exposure and can be either synchronized or non-synchronized (NS). Pooled data suggest synchronized forms may be superior. Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) delivers NIV synchronized to the neural signal for breathing, which is detected with a specialized catheter...

BACKGROUND: Patients discharged on home oxygen therapy (HOT) for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) often receive months of this therapy. A previous trial comparing two methods of HOT weaning showed that increased parent involvement in HOT weaning decreased HOT duration. Our outpatient team uses a standard protocol for outpatient HOT weaning, starting at the first clinic visit 4-6 weeks after discharge. AIM: To shorten HOT duration by teaching parents the outpatient HOT weaning process before neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is common in preterm infants and may result in pulmonary vascular disease, compromising lung function. This study aimed to employ artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to help physicians accurately diagnose BPD in preterm infants in a timely and efficient manner. This retrospective study involves two datasets: a lung region segmentation dataset comprising 1491 chest radiographs of infants, and a BPD prediction dataset comprising 1021 chest radiographs of preterm infants. Transfer learning of a pre-trained machine learning model was employed for lung region segmentation and image fusion for BPD prediction to enhance the performance of the AI model...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease common in extreme preterm infants and is characterized by alveolar simplification. Current BPD research mainly focuses on alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, myofibroblasts, and the endothelium. However, a notable gap exists in the involvement of AT1 cells, which constitute a majority of the alveolar surface area. In this issue of the JCI, Callaway and colleagues explored the role of TGF-β signaling in AT1 cells for managing the AT1-to-AT2 transition and its involvement in the integration of mechanical forces with the pulmonary matrisome during development...

BACKGROUND: Despite advances in neonatal care, the incidence of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) remains high among preterm infants. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have shown promise in repairing injury in animal BPD models. Evidence suggests they exert their effects via paracrine mechanisms. We aim herein to assess the effectiveness of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from hiPSCs and their alveolar progenies (diPSCs) in attenuating hyperoxic injury in a preterm lung explant model...

BACKGROUND: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a common morbidity among very preterm infants, is associated with chronic disease and neurodevelopmental impairments. A hypothesized mechanism for these outcomes lies in altered glucocorticoid (GC) activity. We hypothesized that BPD and its treatments may result in epigenetic differences in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is modulated by GC, and could be ascertained using an established GC risk score and DNA methylation (DNAm) of HPA axis genes...
