The Advanced Study Institute provided a unique opportunity for internationally knownbasic scientistsandclinicianswithexpertiseinvariousaspectsoflunginjuryand re pair to exchange ideas on the pathophysiology and treatment ofAcute Lung Injury.There were25invitedspeakersand65studentsrepresenting 14countries.Someofthemostnotable contributionsofthis symposiumare outlinedbelow: Role ofNitric Oxide ("NO)in the treatmentofAcute Respiratory Distress Syn drome (ARDS). Currently, there is considerable controversy as to whether nitric oxide shouldbeadministeredtopatientswithARDS. Therewasalivelydebateontheuseof-NOin the treatmentofARDS with extensiveaudience participation.Several studies, mostly from European centers, summarized data on the use ofnitric oxide ("NO) in the treatment of ARDS.Althoughtheearlierreportswereencouraging,more recentdata fromseveralcenters show that administration of-NOdid not improve morbidity or mortality ofpatients with ARDS.Therewasconcernwith thethefactthatcessationof-NOtreatmentledtodramaticin creasesinthe pulmonarycirculationpressure,thus makingitdifficulttowean patientsfrom thistype oftherapy. Furthermore,anumberofpresentationsfrombasic scientistspointedout that reactive oxygen-nitrogen intermediates, produced by the reaction of-NO with oxygen free radicals, releasedby inflammatorycells,may damagethe pulmonarysurfactantsystem and alveolartype IIcells.It was agreed that although ashort course of-NO administration may prove beneficial in selective patients by improving oxygenation, its long-term use should be discouraged without additional data providing definitive evidence for decreased mortalityand morbidityand lack oftoxicity.On the otherhand,the use ofprostacyclinthat also has pulmonaryvasculardilationeffectsappears toshow beneficial effectsthat warrant further investigation inthis area. Importanceofactiveion transportacrossthe alveolarepithelium in enhancing theclearanceofalveolaredemain ARDS. Anumberofexcitingpresentationsfocusedon thecellularand molecularmechanismsofion transportacrossthealveolarepithelium.Dis cussionshelpedtoreconcileexistingcontroversieson thecontributionofvarioustransport ers influid clearanceacrossthealveolarepitheliumofanimalswith oxidantlung injury.One ofthe mostexcitingaspectsofthis meeting was the presentationofdata indicatingthat up regulationofiontransportacrossthealveolarepitheliumofpatientswith ARDS and inani mals with ARDS-type injury,using inotropic drugs such as isoproterenol, dobutamine and dopamine,decreasedtheamountofpulmonaryedemaand improvedoxygenation.Thisisan excitingdevelopmentand may have asignificant impact inthe treatmentofARDS. Drugdeliveryto theinjuredalveolarepithelium.Thereisconsiderableinterestin identifying agents that can improve the delivery ofvarious drugs (such as antioxidant en- vii zymes, anti-inflammatory compounds, etc.) to the alveolar epithelium of patients with ARDS.IthasbeenknownthatsurfactantdeficiencycontributestothedevelopmentofARDS andthat surfactantreplacementhasbeen efficaciousinimprovinglungmechanicsand oxy genationinboth animalsandpatientswithARDS.Excitingnewevidencefrom anumberof laboratoriesindicatethatsurfactantdeliverymixtures,alreadyusedforthecorrectionofsur factant deficiencyinneonates,greatlyimprove thedelivery ofanantioxidantenzymetothe alveolarepitheliumofnewbornanimals.Also, there were anumberofimportantpresenta tions discussing strategies for gene delivery to the alveolarepithelium.Evidence was pre sentedthatanewfamily ofpolycationicaminopolymercompoundsisextremelyefficientin transferringgenes toanumberofcelllines.Therewasconsiderableinterestintestingtheef ficacyofthese compoundsinanimals withlunginjuryresemblingARDS. Thesecompounds maycircumventsomeoftheproblemsassociatedwithadenoviruses,suchaslunginflamma tion, and may renderthe lung more resistanttooxidantinjury. Controversies in the clinical management of patients with ARDS. There was a lively debate on the advantages and disadvantages ofventilating patients with low versus high tidal volume. Large tidal volumes appear to compound the pre-existing lung injury, causingincreasedpermeabilityandpulmonaryedema. Inaddition,there were excitingpres entationsonventilatingbothanimalsandpatientswithARDSusingperfluorocarbons(liquid breathing).There were several suggestionsforadditionalexperimentstobetterdemonstrate theefficacyofthispotentiallyexcitingformoftreatmentinARDS.Plansweredevelopedfor anindustry-sponsoredmulticentertrialtosystematicallyexplore theabilitytopartiallyven tilate ARDS patientswithperfluorocarbonsanddeterminetheefficacyofthisform:ofventi lationbymeasuringphysiologicvariablesandchangesinmortality. Inaddition,studiesfrom several investigators summarized novel approaches to mechanical ventilation ofpatients with ARDS among which trachealgasinsufflationandprone positioning are being increas ingly utilizedwith encouragingresults.Severalpresentationsalso dealtwith thepotentially damagingeffects ofexcessivetidal volume ventilationon the lungs. Perhaps the best aspects ofthis symposiumwere the lively interactions among the participants and the fact that several newcollaborationswere establishedamong scientists and clinicians who previously knew each other only byreputation. The organizerswould liketotake thisopportunitytothank themembersofthe local organizing committee, Drs.Behrakis, Baltopoulos, and Chainis for all their hard work and encouragement.WewouldalsoliketothankHisExcellency, theGovernorofCorfu,Mr.An dreas Pagrates,His Excellency,the Mayor ofCorfu, Mr.Chrysanthos Sarles, His Holiness, theMetropolitanofCorfu, Mr.Timotheo,thePresidentoftheGeneralHospitalofCorfu,Dr. KostasAlexandropoulos,TheTownCouncilofCorfu, andthecitizensofCorfu fortheir gen erosityand hospitality.Special thanks toMr.Spyros Lychnos for working day andnight to ensurethat all participantsarrived inCorfu safe andsound and forhandlingthe myriadad ministrativedetails.Finally,wewould liketothank Ms.Nancy MatalonandMs.Mary Beth Campbell fortheir superbeditorial assistance inputting this volume together.
