Mechanical Ventilation–induced Diaphragmatic Atrophy Is Associated with Oxidative Injury and Increased Proteolytic Activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) results in reduced diaphragmatic maximal force production and diaphragmatic atrophy. To investigate the mechanisms responsible for MV-induced diaphragmatic atrophy, we tested the hypothesis that controlled MV results in oxidation of diaphragmatic proteins and increased diaphragmatic proteolysis due to elevated protease activity. Further, we postulated that MV would result in atrophy of all diaphragmatic muscle fiber types. Mechanically ventilated animals were anesthetized, tracheostomized, and ventilated with 21% O2 for 18 hours. MV resulted in a decrease (p < 0.05) in diaphragmatic myofibrillar protein and the cross-sectional area of all muscle fiber types (i.e., I, IIa, IId/x, and IIb). Further, MV promoted an increase (p < 0.05) in diaphragmatic protein degradation along with elevated (p < 0.05) calpain and 20S proteasome activity. Finally, MV was also associated with a rise (p < 0.05) in both protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation. These data support the hypothesis that MV is associated with atrophy of all diaphragmatic fiber types, increased diaphragmatic protease activity, and augmented diaphragmatic oxidative stress.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
