Article Synopsis
- Chronic exposure to airborne fungal spores (AFsp) can trigger inflammation in the lungs, potentially leading to allergic reactions or chronic pulmonary conditions.
- The study examined how AFsp affects both isolated immune cells (macrophages) and lung cells in lab settings, then tested these effects on live mice.
- Results showed significant increases in inflammatory markers in both cell cultures and in mice's lung tissues, indicating a strong inflammatory response to AFsp.
Recently, secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) emerged as a predominant component of fine particulate matter. However, the pathogenic mechanism(s) of SOAs are still poorly understood. Herein, we show that chronic exposure of mice to SOAs resulted in lung inflammation and tissue destruction.

Cell culture studies revealed a role for SOAs in cell oxidative stress, toxicity and inflammation and only a few studies investigated short-term SOA exposure in animal models. Here, mice were chronically exposed to naphthalene-derived SOAs for one and two months.

Methods: A national survey was carried out among interns in general practice (GP) contacted through their local associations from December 10, 2019 to March 9, 2020. An online questionnaire was diffused.
Background: Given the growing worldwide market of non-prescription drugs, monitoring their misuse in the context of self-medication represents a particular challenge in Public Health. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of misuse, abuse, and dependence on non-prescription psychoactive drugs.
Method: During one month, in randomly solicited community pharmacies, an anonymous questionnaire was offered to adults requesting paracetamol (control group), codeine combined with paracetamol in analgesics, or sedative H1 antihistamines.
