Lung Tissue Multi-Layer Network Analysis Uncovers the Molecular Heterogeneity of COPD
CONCLUSIONS: A novel multi-layer network analysis is able to identify clinically relevant COPD patient communities. Patients with similarly low FEV1 and emphysema can have molecularly distinct small airways and immune response patterns, indicating that different endotypes can lead to similar clinical presentation.PMID:38626356 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202303-0500OC (Source: American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine)

Recessively Inherited Deficiency of Secreted WFDC2 (HE4) Causes Nasal Polyposis and Bronchiectasis
CONCLUSIONS: WFDC2 dysfunction defines a novel molecular etiology of bronchiectasis characterized by the deficiency of a secreted component of the airways. A commercially available blood test combined with genetic testing allows its diagnosis.

Autoimmunity Against Surfactant Protein B Is Associated with Pneumonitis During Checkpoint Blockade
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that the co-occurrence of surfactant protein-B-specific immunoglobulin G autoantibodies and CD4+ T cells is associated with the development of pneumonitis during ICI therapy. Pre-treatment levels of these antibodies may represent a potential biomarker for elevated risk of developing pneumonitis and on-treatment levels may provide a diagnostic aid.PMID:38626354 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202311-2136OC (Source: American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine)

Cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory effect, and acute oral toxicity of a novel Attalea phalerata kernel oil-loaded nanocapsules
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 15;174:116308. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116308. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe kernel oil of the Attalea phalerata Mart. Ex Spreng (Acurí) is traditionally used in several Latin American countries to treat respiratory problems, inflammation, and fever. However, it cannot be found on the literature any attend to use this oil in pharmaceutical formulation. In this paper, it was developed Acurí oil-loaded nanocapsules, and it was evaluated the cytotoxicity against cancer cells, the antinflammatory activity and the oral acute toxicity in rats. Acurí oil contains lauric acid as the predomin...

A new era of targeting cystic fibrosis with non-viral delivery of genomic medicines
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2024 Apr 14:115305. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2024.115305. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCystic fibrosis (CF) is a complex genetic respiratory disorder that necessitates innovative gene delivery strategies to address the mutations in the gene. This review delves into the promises and challenges of non-viral gene delivery for CF therapy and explores strategies to overcome these hurdles. Several emerging technologies and nucleic acid cargos for CF gene therapy are discussed. Novel formulation approaches including lipid and polymeric nanoparticles promise enhanced delivery through the CF mucus barrier, augmentin...

Alleviatory Role of < em > Panax Notoginseng < /em > Saponins in Modulating Inflammation and Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: mechanisms and Implications
This study delves into the therapeutic potential and mechanistic underpinnings of Panax notoginseng Saponins (PNS) in alleviating inflammation and pulmonary vascular remodeling in a COPD rat model. Symmap and ETCM databases provided Panax notoginseng-related target genes, and the CTD and DisGeNET databases provided COPD-related genes. Intersection genes were subjected to protein-protein interaction analysis and pathway enrichment to identify downstream pathways. A COPD rat model was established, with groups receiving varying doses of PNS and a Roxithromycin control. The pathological changes in lung tissue and vasculature w...

Differential changes in expression of inflammatory mRNA and protein after oleic acid-induced acute lung injury
Conclusions: The change of proinflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and IL-6 expression is different comparing mRNA and plasma proteins at oleic acid-induced ARDS compared to baseline. The migration of cells to the lung may be the cause for this discrepancy.PMID:38625585 | DOI:10.1080/01902148.2024.2341099 (Source: Experimental Lung Research)

Novel utilization and quantification of Xsight diaphragm tracking for respiratory motion compensation in Cyberknife Synchrony treatment of liver tumors
CONCLUSION: The diaphragm has the potential to serve as an alternative to gold fiducial markers for detecting liver tumors in close proximity or within it. We also found that we needed to reduce the motion amplitude and train the respiration of the patients during liver radiotherapy, as well as control and evaluate their breathing.PMID:38622894 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14341 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)
