Long‐Term Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy—A 10‐Year Follow Up Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a rare but potentially treatable cause of severe autonomic failure. Evidence guiding long‐term immunotherapy, treatment sequencing, and residual autonomic impairment is limited. We evaluated long‐term treatment response, residual autonomic dysfunction, and relapse patterns in patients with

Intrinsic Photoactive Star ZnPc–Poly(glutamate) Nanoplatforms for Multimodal Glioblastoma Therapy and Brain‐Targeted Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An intrinsic photoactive star‐shaped zinc phtalocyanine‐poly(L‐glutamic acid) (ZnPc‐PGA) nanoplatform for multimodal glioblastoma (GBM) therapy and brain‐targeted elivery. A ZnPc‐PGA‐based multifunctional theranostic nanocarrier platform enables image‐guided, multimodal GBM therapy. ZnPc‐PGA nanocarriers support the integration of fluorescence imaging,

Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Acute response to rapid iloprost inhalation using the Breelib™ nebulizer in pulmonary arterial hypertension: the Breelib™ acute study

Pulmonary Circulation, 2019
The Breelib™ nebulizer was designed to reduce iloprost inhalation times for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In 30 patients with PAH, rapid inhalation of iloprost 2.5 µg using Breelib™ caused significant improvements in invasively ...

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Sevoflurane inhibits cardiac function in pulmonary fibrosis mice through the TLR4 signaling pathway

Pulmonary Circulation, 2018
Pulmonary fibrosis is often concomitant with myocardial injury. We studied sevoflurane’s effects on cardiac function and the expression of the TLR4/inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) signaling pathway on a pulmonary fibrosis model. C57BL/6J wild-type

Preparation, optimization, and in vivo evaluation of an inhaled solution of total saponins of Panax notoginseng and its protective effect against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Drug Delivery, 2020
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive pulmonary disease that can cause fibrotic remodeling of the surrounding lung, thus leading to respiratory failure. Although IPF is the most common form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia,

Inhaled NO and Pulmonary Vasodilation [PDF]

Circulation, 1998
To the Editor: Hare et al1 concluded that inhaled nitric oxide (NO) caused selective pulmonary vasodilation in patients receiving left ventricular assist device support and that this accounted for the increase in mean left atrial pressure, which they considered a beneficial hemodynamic effect.
