Study on Lung Injury Caused by Fine Particulate Matter and Intervention Effect of .

Objective: The objective of this study was to observe the protective effect of drops in a rat model of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) lung injury.

Methods: Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control (NC), normal saline (NS), PM2.

Tissue-Protective Effect of Erdosteine on Multiple-Organ Injuries Induced by Fine Particulate Matter.

BACKGROUND Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is the air pollutant that most threatens global public health. The purpose of this study was to observe the inflammatory and oxidative stress injury of multiple organs induced by PM2.

IL-10 ameliorates PM2.5-induced lung injury by activating the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway.

Exposure to fine particulate matter with a diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) can cause a number of respiratory diseases.

Continuous positive airway pressure versus mandibular advancement device in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The goal of this study was to review relevant randomized controlled trials in order to determine the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus mandibular advancement device (MAD) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Methods: Using appropriate keywords, we identified relevant studies using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase. Key pertinent sources in the literature were also reviewed, and all articles published through October 2019 were considered for inclusion.

Antagonistic Effects of N-acetylcysteine on Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Pathway Activation, Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Responses in Rats with PM Induced Lung Injuries.

To evaluate the antagonistic effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway activation, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in rats with lung injury induced by fine particulate matter (PM). Forty eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: blank control group (C1), water drip control group (C2), PM exposed group (P), low-dose NAC treated and PM exposed group (L), middle-dose NAC treated and PM exposed group (M), and high-dose NAC treated and PM exposed group (H). PM suspension (7.

lncRNA SCAL1 inhibits inducible nitric oxide synthase in lung cells under high-glucose conditions.

The lungs are one of the most common target organs of diabetic injury in patients with diabetes. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) smoke and cancer-associated lncRNA 1 (SCAL1), also known as lung cancer associated transcript 1 (LUCAT1), is known to have a pivotal role in lung cancer. The aim of the current study was to investigate the potential involvement of SCAL1 in diabetic lung disease.

Predicting risk of pulmonary infection in patients with primary membranous nephropathy on immunosuppressive therapy: The AIM-7C score.

Aim: Pulmonary infection (PI) is the leading cause of death in patients with primary membranous nephropathy on immunosuppressive therapy. A rating score was thus developed to foresee the risk of PI in such patients.

Methods: We reviewed the charts of the pertinent patients treated during the past 3 years either with (n = 29) or without PI (n = 304).

Effects of Lianhua Qingwen on Pulmonary Oxidative Lesions Induced by Fine Particulates (PM2.5) in Rats.

Objective To investigate the antagonistic effects of different doses of Lianhua Qingwen on pulmonary injury induced by fine particulates PM2.5 in rats. Methods Fine particulates suspended in the environment were collected.

HIV-1 diversity in infected individuals in Suzhou and Suqian, China.

Jiangsu is one province with severe HIV-1 epidemic in China. However, the molecular epidemiological characterizations of HIV-1 in many cities of Jiangsu remain unclear. A molecular epidemiological investigation was performed based on 38 HIV-positive samples collected from Suzhou and Suqian during 2011-2013.
