Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may improve the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, few studies have investigated the effects of mechanically stretched -MSCs (MS-MSCs) in models of ARDS. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential therapeutic effects of MS-MSCs on pulmonary microvascular endothelium barrier injuries induced by LPS.

- - The study aimed to compare body composition changes, specifically fat mass index (FMI) and fat free mass index (FFMI), during puberty in obese versus normal-weight children in China, while also examining the influences of age and gender on these measurements.
- - Conducted with 356 children aged 7-15, body composition was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), which revealed that obese children had higher fat and fat-free mass compared to normal-weight peers.
- - Results indicated that the FMI and FFMI in obese children significantly increased with age and were consistently higher than those in normal-weight children of the same age and gender, with boys showing more pronounced differences than girls; suggesting these measurements are useful for
