Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Nested–polymerase chain reaction detection of f. sp. in a suspected immunocompromised Cavalier King Charles spaniel with multiple infections

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2019
A 7-month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel female was referred due to a chronic cough refractory to antibiotic treatments. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis, increased serum C-reactive protein, hypogammaglobulinemia, and decreased total serum ...

Expression of complement-related membrane proteins on lymphocytes and alveolar macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

Allergology International, 1998
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can be separated into two groups: (i) that in which the causes are known; and (ii) that in which the etiologies have not been determined.

Chemokines in the Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid of Patients with Sarcoidosis.

Internal Medicine, 1997
We measured the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids from 27 patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis and examined the relationship between chemokine levels and some clinical manifestations.

Downregulation of Mcl-1 has anti-inflammatory pro-resolution effects and enhances bacterial clearance from the lung [PDF]

, 2013
Phagocytes not only coordinate acute inflammation and host defense at mucosal sites, but also contribute to tissue damage. Respiratory infection causes a globally significant disease burden and frequently progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome,

PVC Nanoplastics Exposure Exacerbates Asthma through R‐Loop Accumulation and Subsequent STING Activation in Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) nanoplastics (NPs) are shown to aggravate allergic airway inflammation in asthma by triggering R‐loop accumulation and activating the cGAS‐STING pathway in macrophages. This study reveals a novel immunotoxic mechanism linking environmental plastic exposure to asthma pathogenesis and highlights potential molecular targets for ...

Experimental pneumonia induced by a Bordetella parapertussis-like organism in the ovine and murine lung : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment (70%) of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Veterinary Pathology at Massey University [PDF]

, 1987
Thirty-four specific pathogen-free (SPF) Swiss mice were intranasally inoculated with a suspension containing about 3 x 10 7 colony-forming units (CFU)/ml of a B. parapertussis-like organism isolated from pneumonic ovine lung.

Tackling Allergic Airway Inflammation with Organic Sheet‐Like Nanoplatforms by Targeted Elimination of Epithelial Small Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, “inorganic‐free” nanosheets, named PNSE are developed using template‐based synthesis technology. The functionalized organic nanosheets exhibit low cytotoxicity, mild protein adsorption, and potent binding efficacy to epithelial sEVs.

Novel anti-tumour necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1) domain antibody prevents pulmonary inflammation in experimental acute lung injury. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a pleiotropic cytokine with both injurious and protective functions, which are thought to diverge at the level of its two cell surface receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2.

Onion‐Mitochondria Inhibit Lipopolysaccharide‐Induced Acute Lung Injury by Shaping Lung Macrophage Mitochondrial Function

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Proposed model of orally administered onion mitochondria (O‐Mit) uptake by lung macrophages and fuse with macrophage mitochondria (M‐Mit). This fusion reprograms the metabolism of dysfunctional M‐Mit in lipopolysaccharide‐induced murine acute lung injury by modulating dynamin‐related protein 1 (DRP1) phosphorylation and cardiolipin peroxidation ...
