ALI is a life-threatening inflammatory disease associated with cytokine storm, which leads to widespread excessive levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the lungs such as interleukins, TNF, and interferon; if not treated promptly and effectively, it can easily progress into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), leading to refractory hypoxemia and high mortality [25]. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
