ABSTRACT Background Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is widely used as a therapeutic intervention for various types of wounds. Studies have shown that in addition to improving local oxygen supply to the wound site, HBOT can also influence cytokine activity, promote the survival of tissue mesh, and thereby facilitate wound healing.

Abstract Alveolar epithelial cell type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) cells make up the saccular gas exchange units of the lung, called alveoli. Formation of alveoli during lung development accounts for the expansive surface area of the lung, allowing for proper respiration and delivery of oxygen to the body.

ABSTRACT Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are life‐threatening pulmonary disorders with high mortality rates, and effective treatments are currently lacking. Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), a plant lignan derived from flaxseed, possesses anti‐inflammatory and antioxidative activities.

The Impact of Surfactant Protein‐D Gene Polymorphism on COVID‐19 Clinical Outcomes
ABSTRACT Background COVID‐19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), presents a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe, life‐threatening respiratory complications. Pulmonary surfactant‐associated protein D (SP‐D) is a critical component of pulmonary immune defense.
