The phrase "augmented lung" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to medical technology, biology, or discussions about enhancements to lung function or structure.
Example: "The research team is developing an augmented lung that can improve oxygen absorption for patients with respiratory issues."
Alternatives: "enhanced lung" or "improved lung".
Transfusion of aged erythrocytes caused mild pulmonary inflammation but no coagulopathy in healthy rats, while it augmented lung injury by inducing coagulopathy in lipopolysaccharide pretreated rats.
We found that both LPS and PAM3 augmented lung inflammation.
MV in combination with prolonged exposure to hyperoxia (> 95% of oxygen) augmented lung injury [ 24].
MV synergistically augmented lung injury during TRALI, which was even further enhanced by the use of injurious ventilator settings.
Li and colleagues have shown augmented lung injury in mice exposed to MV with high tidal volumes and hyperoxia compared with animals ventilated with room air [ 36].
The addition of hyperoxia to high-VT ventilation augmented lung injury, as demonstrated by increased apoptotic cell death, neutrophil migration into the lung, MIP-2 production, MIP-2 mRNA expression, increased DNA binding activity of activator protein-1, increased microvascular permeability, and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 activation.
These CD13-transfected cells showed a significantly augmented lung-colonising potential in nude mice (Fujii et al, 1995).
In addition, a high FiO2 may augment lung collapse by causing absorption atelectasis [ 7, 8, 9].
These data show that mechanical ventilation does not require TLR4 to augment lung inflammation and injury associated with TLR3 activation.
Besides ETS exposure, substance P can also excite NTS neurons and augment lung C-fiber CNS reflex responses.
There is further evidence to suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin may have cardioprotective effects in cardiac progenitor cells [ 167] and augment lung maturation in fetal rats via blockade of TGF- β [ 168].
