Inhalable Polymeric Nanoparticle Containing Triphenylphosphanium Bromide‐modified Sonosensitizer for Enhanced Therapy of Acute Bacterial Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacterial pneumonia is the sixth leading cause of death. In this study, an inhalable polymeric nanoparticle NPFCPS‐P is developed, which under US stimulation showed high efficacy in the treatment of acute bacterial pneumonia. This nanoplatform would be much less prone to select bacterial resistance and represented a promising measure for antibiotics ...

Intratracheal Thyroid: A Different Approach [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2017
During embryonic development, the abnormal migration of thyroid tissue may cause ectopic localization of the gland in the intralaryngotracheal space. This case report describes the management of a young patient with a recent diagnosis of asthma. During bronchoscopy, a large mass occupying the tracheal lumen was discovered.

Establishment of rat model for aspiration pneumonia and potential mechanisms

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Aspiration pneumonia was induced in Sprague Dawley rats by intratracheal instillation of hydrochloric acid (HCl, 1.5 μL/g.wt, pH = 1) followed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 20 μg/g.wt) after 1 h. The model reproduced hallmark features of acute lung injury, including histological lung damage, microvascular dysfunction, inflammation, hypoxemia, and ...
