Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

The impact of emphysema on surgical outcomes of early-stage lung cancer: a retrospective study

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background The presence of emphysema on computed tomography (CT) is associated with an increased frequency of lung cancer, but the postoperative outcomes of patients with pulmonary emphysema are not well known.

Gas Bubbles from Biodegradable Magnesium Implants Convey Mechanical Cues and Promote Immune Cell Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bubbles in soft tissue are the unavoidable consequence of magnesium implant degradation in patients, yet their biological significance remains unclear. Using advanced imaging and spatial transcriptomics, this study reveals a pronounced inflammatory and mechanical response near bubbles, contrasting with pro‐regenerative events closer to the implant ...

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema presenting in a woman on the intensive care unit: case report and review of literature

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a life-threatening form of ventilator-induced lung injury. We present one of the few reported adult cases of pulmonary interstitial emphysema in a woman with respiratory failure admitted to our intensive ...

A Low Peripheral Blood CD4/CD8 Ratio Is Associated with Pulmonary Emphysema in HIV. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The prevalence of emphysema is higher among HIV-infected (HIV+) individuals compared to HIV-uninfected persons. While greater tobacco use contributes, HIV-related effects on immunity likely confer additional risk.

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema. [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Disease in Childhood, 1984
Forty one of 210 preterm infants ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome in a three year period had radiological evidence of pulmonary interstitial emphysema. The development of this condition was significantly associated with malpositioning of the endotracheal tube in a main bronchus and the use of high peak pressure ventilation.

Peripheral Biomarker Signatures in Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with RA, yet effective risk stratification for RA‐ILD is lacking. We sought to characterize unique peripheral blood biomarker signatures in RA that could improve RA‐ILD discrimination beyond clinical and genetic ...

Clinical outcomes of radial probe endobronchial ultrasound using a guide sheath for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions in patients with pulmonary emphysema

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2019
Background Generally, structural destruction of lung parenchyma, such as pulmonary emphysema, is considered to be related to the low diagnostic yields and high complication rates of lung biopsies of peripheral lung lesions.
