Boron Nitride Nanomaterials Trigger Immunomodulatory Effects in Human Broncho‐Epithelial Cells by Modulating Eicosanoid Lipid Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that BNNT exposure disrupts lipid homeostasis in bronchial epithelial cell cultures and activates eicosanoid lipid biosynthesis, producing inflammatory lipid mediators like leukotrienes. These effects are more pronounced in asthmatic cell cultures compared to healthy ones.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention in the Intensive care unit using Postpyloric tube feeding in China (VIP study): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials, 2022
Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a challenge in critical care and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Although some consensuses on preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia are reached, it is still somewhat controversial.

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with regional variations in histological subtypes. Adenocarcinoma predominates in Western countries, whereas squamous cell carcinoma is more common in Asia. Despite advances in multimodal therapy, esophagectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment, and the development of various ...

Experimental ventilator-associated pneumonia: distribution of lung infection and consequences for lung aeration

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been described in humans and in experimental animals. The most severe lesions are located in dependent lung segments along a sterno-vertebral axis, however the cephalocaudal distribution of lung infection remains

Autonomous Recognition of Retained Secretions in Central‐Airway Based on Deep Learning for Adult Patients Receiving Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a deep learning model to autonomously recognize and classify the secretion retention into three levels for patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, achieving 89.08% accuracy. This model can be implemented to ventilators by edge computing, whose feasibility is approved.

Proteomic Analysis of Golden Sputum Reveals Pulmonary Complement Activation During Acute Chest Syndrome in Children With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common severe complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). In recent years, a major role of inflammation and innate immunity has been evidenced, but ACS pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, and therapeutic options are limited.

Animal models of benign airway stenosis: Advances in construction techniques, evaluation systems, and perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Currently, the animals commonly used to establish animal models of benign airway stenosis (BAS) include mice, rats, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. The establishment methods involve one or a combination of two methods such as mechanical injury, tracheal cautery, cuff overpressure intubation, laser injury, and endoscopic silver nitrate cauterization ...
