Boron Nitride Nanomaterials Trigger Immunomodulatory Effects in Human Broncho‐Epithelial Cells by Modulating Eicosanoid Lipid Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that BNNT exposure disrupts lipid homeostasis in bronchial epithelial cell cultures and activates eicosanoid lipid biosynthesis, producing inflammatory lipid mediators like leukotrienes. These effects are more pronounced in asthmatic cell cultures compared to healthy ones.

Repurposing of Chemokine Antagonists for Combined Phase‐Resolved Spinal Cord Injury Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) in mammals is accompanied by a massive cytokine storm in cerebrospinal fluid, mainly driven by CXCL1, IL‐6, and CCL2‐5. Sub‐acute phase is mostly associated with IL‐2, IL‐7, CCL22, and CX3CL1, whereas TNFα and IL17α permanently persists in CNS even weeks following SCI.

Nationwide Survey of the Surgical Treatment for Hiatal Hernia in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This nationwide study of 960 hiatal hernia surgeries in Japan found that patients with Type I hernia had distinct characteristics and more favorable surgical outcomes compared to Types II–IV. Postoperative dysphagia was significantly associated with Types II–IV, preoperative dysphagia, and esophageal strictures, highlighting the need for careful ...
