Sepsis is a common disease the field of critical care medicine. It is easy to be complicated by acute lung injury (ALI) or even acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which lead to high mortality. Although domestic and foreign scholars have carried out a large number of research on the pathogenesis of sepsis-related ALI/ARDS, it has not been fully elucidated so far. Recent studies have found that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may play an important role in sepsis-related ALI/ARDS. This article reviews the current role of mtDNA in the pathogenesis of sepsis-related ALI/ARDS, with a view to providing new clues and evidence for the treatment of sepsis-related ALI/ARDS.
脓毒症是危重症医学领域的一种常见疾病。它很容易并发急性肺损伤（ALI）甚至急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS），这会导致高死亡率。尽管国内外学者对脓毒症相关ALI/ARDS的发病机制进行了大量研究，但迄今为止尚未完全阐明。最近的研究发现，线粒体DNA（mtDNA）可能在脓毒症相关ALI/ARDS中起重要作用。本文综述了mtDNA在脓毒症相关ALI/ARDS发病机制中的当前作用，以期为脓毒症相关ALI/ARDS的治疗提供新的线索和证据。
