Serum Surfactant Protein D (SP-D) is a Prognostic Marker of Poor Outcome in Patients with A/H1N1 Virus Infection

Lung, 2014
IntroductionSurfactant protein D (SP-D) plays an important role in the innate responses against pathogens and its production is altered in lung disorders.MethodsWe studied the circulating levels of SP-D in 37 patients with acute respiratory distress ...

Parallel 3D Bioprinting on SLIPS‐Microarrays

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces the first truly parallel 3D bioprinting method, enabling both the simultaneous fabrication of hundreds of cell laden hydrogel 3D structures and their HTS in individual liquid compartments. By integrating Digital Light Processing (DLP) stereolithography with functional micropatterns, the platform decouples printing time from array ...

Ozone Inhalation Attenuated the Effects of Budesonide on Aspergillus fumigatus-Induced Airway Inflammation and Hyperreactivity in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Inhaled glucocorticoids form the mainstay of asthma treatment because of their anti-inflammatory effects in the lung. Exposure to the air pollutant ozone (O3) exacerbates chronic airways disease.

Swelling‐Programmed Topographical Guidance for Dynamic Spheroid Self‐Assembly via a Mechanochemical Hydrogel Niche

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A swelling‐programmed micropatterned hydrogel guides adherent cells through a controlled transition from cell–matrix anchoring to cadherin‐mediated cell–cell compaction, enabling rapid assembly of high‐viability spheroids with defined size and morphology.

Elucidating the Role of Surface Ligands on the Oxidative Etching of Au Bipyramids During Photothermia Using Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gold bipyramids can act as efficient plasmonic nanoheaters, but they often reshape during laser heating. This study shows that oxygen nanobubbles drive oxidative etching and that surface ligands control stability. CTAB‐ and citrate‐coated particles blunt and lose optical performance, whereas polystyrene sulfonate preserves shape and heating by ...

Being aware of potentially fatal interstitial lung disease in patients with head and neck cancer treated with concurrent cetuximab and radiotherapy

Cogent Medicine, 2017
Cetuximab-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD), especially for tumors in the head and neck area, has rarely been reported. The present case may serve as an important reference to alert clinicians who use this chemotherapeutic agent.
