HNF3α Targets Nckap1l and Promotes Renal Fibrosis Following Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 3 alpha (HNF3α) is significantly upregulated in renal tubular epithelial cells of CKD patients and fibrotic mice. Deletion of HNF3α mitigates IRI‐induced renal fibrosis, while overexpression worsens it. HNF3α directly regulates NCK‐associated protein 1‐like (Nckap1l), whose overexpression exacerbates fibrosis.

Fibroblastic Foci in Usual Interstitial Pneumonia: Idiopathic versus Collagen Vascular Disease [PDF]

, 2003
A histologic feature of usual interstitial pneumonia is the presence of fibroblastic foci. As some patients with usual interstitial pneumonia and an underlying collagen vascular disease have a better prognosis, we hypothesized that they would have fewer ...

DAPK3 is Essential for DBP‐Induced Autophagy of Mouse Leydig Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study has confirmed that death‐associated protein kinase 3 (DAPK3) is essential for dibutyl phthalate (DBP)‐induced autophagy of mouse Leydig cells, and is regulated by both transcription factor specific protein 2 (Sp2) and parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin‐protein ligase (PRKN), and melatonin can alleviate DBP‐induced autophagy of the cells.

A persistent variant telomere sequence in a human pedigree

Nature Communications
The telomere sequence, TTAGGG, is conserved across all vertebrates and plays an essential role in suppressing the DNA damage response by binding a set of proteins termed shelterin. Changes in the telomere sequence impair shelterin binding, initiate a DNA

Entropy Production and the Pressure-Volume Curve of the Lung [PDF]

, 2015
We investigate analytically the production of entropy during a breathing cycle in healthy and diseased lungs. First, we calculate entropy production in healthy lungs by applying the laws of thermodynamics to the well-known transpulmonary pressure-volume ($P-V$) curves of the lung under the assumption that lung tissue behaves as an entropy spring-like ...

Laparoscopic Splenectomy in a Child with Moyamoya Syndrome, Hereditary Spherocytosis, and Interstitial Lung Disease: A Mere Coincidence or Partnership Based on Genetic Similarities [PDF]

, 2011
A case of moyamoya syndrome and spherocytosis with concurrent interstitial lung disease who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy is being reported. A theory regarding their coexistence is being forwarded together with their anesthetic management. According

Confinement by Liquid‐Liquid Interface Replicates In Vivo Neutrophil Deformations and Elicits Bleb‐Based Migration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Leukocytes sense mechanical cues provided by surrounding cells to regulate motility. Replicating the confining pressures applied by soft, elastic tissues in vitro is challenging. Here, the use of liquid‐liquid interfaces is introduced to model forces exerted by surrounding cells. Confining pressures are tunable by controlling interfacial curvature, and

Characteristics of lung cancer among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung disease – analysis of institutional and population data

Respiratory Research, 2018
Background Lung Cancer is occasionally observed in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). We sought to describe the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of lung cancer for patients with IPF and other interstitial lung disease (ILD ...

A Framework for Individualizing Predictions of Disease Trajectories by Exploiting Multi-Resolution Structure [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
For many complex diseases, there is a wide variety of ways in which an individual can manifest the disease. The challenge of personalized medicine is to develop tools that can accurately predict the trajectory of an individual's disease, which can in turn enable clinicians to optimize treatments.

PENICILLAMINE IN INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE: A TIMELY REMAINDER OF AN OLD FOE [PDF]

, 2016
Penicillamine-induced lung injury has been sparsely reported in the literature. We report one such case with its wide-ranging ramifications. Wepresent an unusual case of drug induced-interstitial lung disease (DI-ILD) caused by penicillamine, resulting ...
