Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells Promote Sepsis‐Induced Immunosuppression in Alveolar Macrophages via Exosomal lncRNA Rmrp Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The S100A4/STAT3 axis promotes Rmrp transcription in AEC‐IIs and Rmrp expression in AEC‐II‐derived exosomes. Upon entry into AMs, Rmrp binds to and blocks the ubiquitination and degradation of ZFP36. Increased ZFP36 induced Pfkfb3 mRNA decay by binding to AREs in the 3′ UTR, curbing glycolysis and immune responses of AMs and aggravating SII and ...

Aptamer‐Engineered Ellipsometry for Clinical Detection of BALF‐Derived Exosomes: Multi‐Level Engineering for Prognostic Evaluation of Immunotherapy Responses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel ellipsometry platform functionalized with truncated PD‐L1 aptamers are developed to enable ultrasensitive detection of BALF‐derived exosomes. Through chemical ligand tailoring, mechanical sensing optimization, and tumor‐proximal fluid sampling, the system precisely stratifies ICI responders and non‐responders, offering superior sensitivity and ...

Missed distal tracheal foreign body in consecutive bronchoscopies in a 6-year-old boy

Nigerian Journal of Surgery, 2017
It is unusual but not uncommon for foreign bodies to be missed at bronchoscopy. This case report highlights the importance of the clinical history in the diagnosis of aspirated foreign bodies and the usefulness of chest imaging modalities.
