Virtual bronchoscopic navigation without X-ray fluoroscopy to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions: a randomized trial

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Background Transbronchial biopsy for peripheral pulmonary lesions is generally performed under X-ray fluoroscopy. Virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) is a method in which virtual images of the bronchial route to the lesion are produced based on CT ...

A case of malignant lymphoma with a peripheral pulmonary lesion diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound-guided needle aspiration using a thin convex-probe endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscope

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports
Background: Performing biopsies of peripheral lesions adjacent to the bronchus is challenging. Conventionally, transbronchial needle aspiration of peripheral pulmonary nodules is performed using a radial echo probe; however, the diagnostic yield remains ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Clinical Application of Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy on the Diagnosis of Peripheral Lung Lesions

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2020
Background and objective Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy is a tool that can accurately navigation peripheral lung lesions. Because of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is too expensive, it has not been widely used in China.

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

The distribution of filariae, superficial lung lesions and pulmonary arterial lesions following chemotherapy in canine dirofilariasis

, 1982
The distribution of peripheral fibrosis due to chronic dirofilariasis and the distribution of recent peripheral pulmonary lesions associated with dead filariae following adulticidal therapy was assessed to determine if individual lobes were more affected.
