Amiodarone-induced pulmonary fibrosis in hamsters.

abstract：:Both hyperoxia-induced proapoptotic sensitization of alveolar type II cells (TII cells) and high-stretch mechanical ventilation induced pulmonary inflammation are tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) mediated. Therefore, binding of free TNFalpha should protect from TNFalpha-mediated acute lung injury and ameliorate ...
