| Abstract | Respiratory muscle weakness resulting from both diaphragmatic contractile dysfunction and atrophy has been hypothesized to contribute to the weaning difficulties associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV). While it is clear that oxidative injury contributes to MV-induced diaphragmatic weakness, the source(s) of oxidants in the diaphragm during MV remain unknown. These experiments tested the hypothesis that xanthine oxidase (XO) contributes to MV-induced oxidant production in the rat diaphragm and that oxypurinol, a XO inhibitor, would attenuate MV-induced diaphragmatic oxidative stress, contractile dysfunction, and atrophy. Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of six experimental groups: 1) control, 2) control with oxypurinol, 3) 12 h of MV, 4) 12 h of MV with oxypurinol, 5) 18 h of MV, or 6) 18 h of MV with oxypurinol. XO activity was significantly elevated in the diaphragm after MV, and oxypurinol administration inhibited this activity and provided protection against MV-induced oxidative stress and contractile dysfunction. Specifically, oxypurinol treatment partially attenuated both protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation in the diaphragm during MV. Further, XO inhibition retarded MV-induced diaphragmatic contractile dysfunction at stimulation frequencies >60 Hz. Collectively, these results suggest that oxidant production by XO contributes to MV-induced oxidative injury and contractile dysfunction in the diaphragm. Nonetheless, the failure of XO inhibition to completely prevent MV-induced diaphragmatic oxidative damage suggests that other sources of oxidant production are active in the diaphragm during prolonged MV. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
