Article Synopsis
  • Organogenesis in the uterus occurs under low oxygen levels, but preterm birth exposes infants to high oxygen, which can harm organ development and lead to conditions like necrotizing enterocolitis.
  • The study investigates the role of the β3-adrenoreceptor (β3-AR) in protecting the ileum from damage caused by high oxygen levels in newborn rat pups, using a selective β3-AR agonist, BRL37344.
  • Results show that a 3 mg/kg dose of BRL37344 mitigates some harmful changes caused by hyperoxia, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic approach for addressing complications related to premature birth and excessive oxygen exposure.

Article Synopsis
  • Oxygen levels play a crucial role in organ development, and changes in these levels after birth can significantly affect organs like the intestine that don’t fully mature in the womb.
  • This study investigates the β3-adrenoreceptor (β3-AR) agonist BRL37344 in a neonatal rat model exposed to high oxygen levels, finding that hyperoxia negatively impacts colon development by reducing certain cell types and mucin production.
  • Administering a specific dose of BRL37344 (3 mg/kg) helped prevent some of these negative effects, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for conditions resulting from too much oxygen exposure in premature infants.

Recently published articles reported an association between psoriasis and interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences in ILD computed tomography (CT) patterns between smoker and never smoker plaque psoriasis (PP) patients under topical treatment without psoriatic arthritis (PA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or connective tissue diseases (CTDs). : Two radiologists evaluated chest CT examinations of 65 patients (33 smokers, 32 never smokers) with PP.
