Similarly, in vivo studies, including those modeling ARDS, have observed improved drug distribution and anti-inflammatory effects for glucocorticoids delivered by a surfactant vehicle [12] [13] [14] . This study tested the hypothesis that fortifying an exogenous surfactant preparation, BLES, with budesonide would enhance the efficacy for treating pulmonary inflammation in vivo. Specifically, it uses outcomes such as MPO activity, neutrophil counts, and chemokine concentrations to focus on neutrophilic inflammation, which have been suggested to be a critical aspect of disease progression for ARDS [28] When combined with this previous data, our study further supports the use of exogenous surfactant as a delivery vehicle for budesonide in the treatment of pulmonary inflammation. ./cache/cord-333856-ujnhjy0s.txt ./txt/cord-333856-ujnhjy0s.txt
