Diagnosis of Influenza from Lower Respiratory Tract Sampling after Negative Upper Respiratory Tract Sampling [PDF]

, 2013
In this retrospective cohort study, we demonstrate that PCR-confirmed diagnoses of influenza were made solely by lower respiratory sampling in 6.9% of cases, as traditional upper respiratory tract tests were negative, indeterminate or not performed ...

Interfacial Yield Stress Response in Synthetic Mucin Solutions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The solution rheology of novel synthetic mucins mimicking natural mucin domains is studied. Like many natural mucin solutions, apparent solid‐like rheology is seen. However, no bulk structural features are found to explain it. Interfacial rheology and robust modelling reveal that this arises from molecular associations at the air–water interface ...

Inhalable Hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p Liposomes Attenuate Pulmonary Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study explores inhalable hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p‐loaded liposomes as a treatment for bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p is electroporated into liposomes and formulated into a dry powder for inhalation. Delivered via dry powder inhalation, it improves pulmonary function, promotes myofibroblast de‐differentiation by targeting CNPY2 ...

Advancing the Identification of Bioactive Molecules and the Construction of a Synergistic Drug Delivery System in Combating Lung Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), while holistic and historically esteemed, faces challenges in “miracle cures” due to slow onset, long cycles, and difficulty controlling quality. This study obtains the active ingredients, glabridin (GLA) and puerarin (PUE), from Ge‐Gen Decoction (GGD), developing a safe and effective drug delivery system, GLA‐PUE ...
