Hypercapnia Effects on Lung Function

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2026.
CO2 is a signaling molecule that disrupts alveolar fluid clearance and ion transport, impairs alveolar repair, and promotes mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction. It suppresses innate immunity, host defense, and inflammation, while increasing airway contractility.

Destroyed lung contributes to the recurrence of hemoptysis after bronchial artery embolization in patients with post-tuberculosis bronchiectasis

Journal of Infection and Public Health
Background: Bronchiectasis has high rates of hemoptysis and recurrent hemoptysis, which is inconsistent among various etiologies. Idiopathic bronchiectasis and post-tuberculous bronchiectasis are two important etiologies in China, but the differences in ...

Calprotectin Is a Circulating Biomarker and Potential Therapeutic Target for Sarcopenia in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia, an important complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is significantly associated with increased mortality. Systemic inflammation is an important trigger of COPD‐related skeletal muscle dysfunction. Calprotectin is a damage‐associated molecular pattern involved in the inflammatory response, but its ...

Aspiration of superabsorbent polymer beads in a 2‐year‐old Boston terrier

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract This case report describes the first documented instance of a dog aspirating a superabsorbent polymer bead, commonly marketed as Orbeez, and its successful removal. Superabsorbent polymers are widely used in children's toys and decorative products, and they possess the ability to expand significantly in water.

Clinical Characteristics, Molecular Diagnosis, and Drug Resistance Profiles of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infections: A Retrospective Analysis Using PCR Melting Curve Technology

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging global pathogens. This study aimed to analyze the clinical features, species distribution, and drug resistance profiles of NTM infections in a northern Chinese hospital. A retrospective cohort study included 1769 patients with suspected mycobacterial infection from August 2023 to July 2025.

Punicalagin Enhances Autophagy Through Sirtuin 1/FoxO3a Axis to Inhibit Intracellular Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Punicalagin, a pomegranate molecule, helps the body fight Mycobacterium abscessus. It preferentially boosts interstitial macrophages in the lung, stabilizing mitochondria and switching on the autophagy via SIRT1/FoxO3a, which lowers bacterial load without directly killing bacteria.
