Vascular endothelial growth factor and related molecules in acute lung injury
Bibliographic record
Abstract
VEGFs and their receptors have been implicated in the regulation of vascular permeability in many organ systems, including the lung. Increased permeability and interstitial and pulmonary edema are prominent features of acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Extrapolating data from other organ systems and animal experiments have suggested that overexpression of VEGF functions primarily as proinjurious molecules in the lung. Recent data, from animal models as well as from patients with ARDS, have shown decreased levels of VEGF in the lung. The role of VEGF and related molecules in ALI/ARDS is, therefore, controversial: what has become clear is that there are many unique features in the regulation of pulmonary vascular permeability and in VEGF expression in the lung. In this review, we explore a growing body of literature looking at the expression and function of VEGF and related molecules in different models of ALI and in patients with ALI/ARDS. Novel evidence points to a potential role of VEGF in promoting repair of the alveolar-capillary membrane during recovery from ALI/ARDS. Understanding the role of VEGF in this disease process is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies for ALI/ARDS.

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.
