HOXA5 Suppresses NEK7‐Mediated Alveolar Epithelial Pyroptosis in Acute Lung Injury by Transcriptionally Inhibiting KAT2A

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alveolar epithelial cell pyroptosis exacerbates inflammation and tissue damage by releasing inflammatory mediators, thereby promoting the development of acute lung injury (ALI). However, the fundamental mechanism underlying alveolar epithelial cell pyroptosis in ALI has not yet been elucidated. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to simulate ALI

Oxymatrine Inhibits Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition to Alleviate Airway Remodeling in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Suppressing the TGF‐β1/Smad Pathway

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of oxymatrine (OMT, C15H24N2O2) in a murine model of cigarette smoke (CS)‐induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. A COPD model was established in mice through prolonged exposure to CS, followed by intraperitoneal administration of OMT (50 mg/kg)

Potential Biomarkers for Disease Stratification and Prognosis Prediction in Pediatric Asthma: LCN2, sST2 and FGF21

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease, where accurate assessment of disease severity and prognosis prediction is crucial for treatment decisions. Currently, there is a lack of precise and effective biomarkers.

PDCD5 Contributes to Airway Epithelial Cell Damage via Mitochondrial Pathway and Participates in COPD Pathogenesis

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airway epithelial injury plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in this injury, while the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. RNA sequencing was conducted to identify key genes involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in airway epithelial

PRMT5 Mediates Sepsis‐Associated Lung Injury by Modulating JAK1 Arginine Methylation: A Mechanism Study

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lung injury is a common complication in critical sepsis. PRMT5 is implicated in endothelial inflammation and lung diseases, but its role in sepsis‐associated lung injury remains unclear. This study collected clinical sepsis samples and detected the mRNA expression of PRMT5.

Vocal Fold Scar Treatment via Controlled Dexamethasone Delivery With a Light‐Activatable Implant

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A light‐activatable dexamethasone implant was employed for the treatment of vocal fold (VF) scarring in a rabbit model. The implant enables controlled, repeatable drug release via near‐infrared laser irradiation, improving biomechanics, vibratory function, and histological architecture at the injury site.

Synchronous Regeneration: Key Mechanism for Selective Reinnervation in Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study investigates the mechanisms behind the success of selective laryngeal reinnervation surgery in bilateral vocal fold paralysis. In an animal model, the surgery promoted neuromuscular regeneration and restored coordinated vocal fold movement, with no misdirected potentials observed.
