Emergent airway management in a patient with in situ tracheal stent: A lesson learned

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2018
The prevalence of in situ tracheal stents has increased in the past two decades for the management of malignant and benign central airway diseases for either palliation or definitive therapy.

IL-13R alpha 2 reverses the effects of IL-13 and IL-4 on bronchial reactivity and acetylcholine-induced Ca2+ signaling [PDF]

, 2007
Background: The interleukins IL-4 and IL-13 play a key role in the pathophysiology of asthma. The interleukin receptor IL-13R alpha 2 is believed to act as a decoy receptor, but until now, the functional significance of IL-13R alpha 2 remains vague ...

Pirfenidone Inhibits Obliterative Airway Disease in Mouse Tracheal Allografts

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2005
Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) is the histologic correlate of chronic airway rejection, which remains the most significant cause of death in long-term survivors of lung transplantation. Using an established murine heterotopic tracheal transplant model of chronic airway rejection, the effects of the oral anti-fibrotic agent pirfenidone on development ...

Soft Artificial Ciliary Brush with Integrated Haptic Feedback for Efficient Airway Mucus Cleaning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A fundamental mucus cleaning mechanism is reported, which utilizes both artificial cilia mechanical sweeping and suction‐based mucus cleaning. A novel haptic feedback interface for the artificial cilia provides touch feedback on tissue contact, enhancing operator control and safety.

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Methylophiopogonanone a attenuates pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting SPP1‐mediated macrophage polarization via the PI3K/Akt pathway

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Transcriptome sequencing identified secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) as a crucial target through which methylophiopogonanone A (MOA) ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis. Molecular docking and microscale thermophoresis (MST) assays confirmed a favorable binding affinity between MOA and SPP1.

Chest CT scoring for evaluation of lung sequelae in congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors

, 2020
Objectives Data on long-term structural lung abnormalities in survivors of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is scarce. The purpose of this study was to develop a chest computed tomography (CT) score to assess the structural lung sequelae in CDH ...
