Extracellular purines in lung endothelial permeability and pulmonary diseases

Frontiers in Physiology
The purinergic signaling system is an evolutionarily conserved and critical regulatory circuit that maintains homeostatic balance across various organ systems and cell types by providing compensatory responses to diverse pathologies.

Optic Nerve Thickness Assessed by Ocular Ultrasonography in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with various ocular complications, yet ultrasonographic evaluation of optic nerve thickness and its relationship with nocturnal hypoxemia remains poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate optic nerve thickness and globe dimensions using ocular ultrasonography in patients with different ...

ISOLATED PULMONARY MICROVASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL CELLS CONTRACT IN RESPONSE TO HYPOXIA

The FASEB Journal, 2007
Observations that constriction occurs in small, potentially non‐muscularized vessels (<100 μm) of the lung in response to hypoxia has led us to investigate the contractile behavior of isolated endothelial cells. Primary cultures of rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (RPMVEC) were embedded in a collagen matrix and ...

LncRNA NORAD Enhances Inflammatory Injury in Sepsis‐Associated Acute Lung Damage Through miR‐150‐5p/STAT1‐Dependent NF‐κB Activation

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe complication of sepsis, yet the role of lncRNA NORAD in its pathogenesis remains unclear. Using LPS‐stimulated BEAS‐2B and HBEC3‐KT cells as well as cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)‐induced ALI models in C57BL/6 mice, we found that NORAD expression was markedly upregulated and promoted cell injury ...

Ginsenoside Rg1 Ameliorates LPS‐Induced Sepsis‐Associated Lung Injury in Mice via VEGFC/D‐VEGFR3 Signaling‐Mediated Lymphangiogenesis and Lymphatic Remodeling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis‐induced acute lung injury (ALI) remains challenging to treat, with conventional anti‐inflammatory therapies offering limited efficacy. The lymphatic system is crucial for removing edema and inflammatory mediators, and its impairment can exacerbate lung injury.

Endothelial GDF15 deficiency enhances barrier function and mitigates pulmonary fibrosis

JCI Insight
Pulmonary fibrosis is frequently accompanied by pulmonary hypertension, which can occur disproportionate to the extent of fibrosis, suggesting a fibrosis-independent vascular remodeling process.

The Association Between Stress‐Induced Hyperglycemia Ratio and Increased Urinary Albumin Excretion in Patients With Hypertension: A Population‐Based Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), a novel marker reflecting relative hyperglycemia, has been increasingly recognized for its prognostic value in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, its association with early renal damage in hypertensive patients remains underexplored.

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Heparan sulfate and glycomimetics: Advances in synthesis and biological applications for post‐stroke neurorepair

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
ECM, extracellular matrix; BDNF, brain‐derived neuroptrophic factor; FGF, fibroblast growth factor; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor. Abstract Heparan sulfate, a structurally diverse glycosaminoglycan that is abundant in the central nervous system (CNS), orchestrates essential processes fundamental to neural plasticity, neurorepair, and ...
