Construction of ceRNA regulatory networks for active pulmonary tuberculosis.

Delayed diagnosis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) often leads to serious public health problems. High throughput sequencing was used to determine the expression levels of lncRNAs, mRNAs, and miRNAs in the lesions and adjacent health lung tissues of patients with PTB. Their differential expression profiles between the two groups were compared, and 146 DElncRs, 447 DEmRs, and 29 DEmiRs were obtained between lesions and adjacent health tissues in patients with PTB.

Safety outcomes of salbutamol: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Salbutamol has been used to alleviate bronchospasm in airway disease for decades, while its potential risks have not been systematically investigated yet. The risk of any potential adverse events (AEs) in patients treated with salbutamol was assessed through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted, using EMBASE, PubMed and Cochrane library, until 3 April 2023.

ILC2s induce adaptive Th2-type immunity in different stages of tuberculosis through the Notch-GATA3 pathway.

The study is to investigate the roles of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in different courses of tuberculosis (TB). Serum and PBMCs were respectively isolated from the TST negative, LTBI (latent TB infection), ATB (active TB) and RTB (recurrent TB) patients. Flow cytometry was used to detect Th1, Th2 and ILC2s in the peripheral blood.
