Abstract:Background
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a specific form of acute lung injury (ALI) that can cause complications such as respiratory distress, hypoxia, fever, and tachycardia in patients. In some cases, symptoms can develop within 6 h of a transfusion, and chest X-rays may reveal bilateral lung opacity. A study using mice found that the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor PF-562271 improved ALI.
Methods
For the study, male BALB/Cmice aged 6–8 weeks were randomly assigned to four groups: … Show more
