Pneumonia in the elderly [PDF]
Pneumonia is a frequent cause of mortality and morbidity in the elderly. This article discusses pneumonia in the elderly based on causative organisms and sites where the pneumonia was acquired. Community-acquired pneumonia, nursing home-acquired pneumonia and nosocomial pneumonia in the elderly are reviewed from a diagnostic and therapeutic perspective.

CTSK plays a critical role in pulmonary fibrosis. Excessive CTSK accumulation interacts with SNX9 to enhance TGF‐β1‐induced SMAD3 activation and GLS1 expression in fibroblasts, driving glutamine metabolism for collagen biosynthesis and exacerbating pulmonary fibrosis.

A review of the role of Haemophilus influenzae in community-acquired pneumonia
In an era when Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine is widely used, the incidence of Hib as a cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has dramatically declined. Non-typeable H.

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.

PFKFB2‐Driven Glycolysis Promotes Dendritic Cell Maturation and Exacerbates Acute Lung Injury
Paraquat (PQ) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure activates the HIF‐1α–PFKFB2 pathway, driving glycolysis in dendritic cells (DCs). This metabolic shift enhances DC maturation and immune activation, exacerbating acute lung injury (ALI). This study demonstrates that PFKFB2‐driven glycolytic reprogramming in DCs plays a critical role in the pathogenesis
