Article Synopsis
- Cardiopulmonary progenitor cells (CPPs) are important for developing the heart and lungs during embryogenesis but disappear after birth; their potential use in treating pulmonary heart disease (PHD) highlights the need for a consistent source of these cells.
- In this research, human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs) were reprogrammed into CPP-like cells (induced CPPs, or iCPPs) using specific genetic factors, and these cells were evaluated for their ability to treat acute lung injury (ALI).
- The study found that exosomes from iCPPs could significantly reduce LPS-induced lung inflammation and improve lung function in a mouse model of ALI, suggesting a promising approach for treating lung injuries and aiding

The clinical characteristics of alcohol-related ocular rupture.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
August 2015
Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of drunken patients treated for ocular rupture, and to compare these results to patients injured without alcohol consumption.
Design And Methods: The medical records of 182 patients with or without alcohol consumption before injury who were treated and followed up because of ocular rupture at the Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University from October 2007 to October 2011 were evaluated retrospectively. The characteristics and outcomes of 45 alcohol-related injury patients were compared with the rest in the cohort.
[Effects of nitric oxide on form-deprivation myopia in chicks].

Article Synopsis
- A chick model of form-deprivation myopia (FDM) was created to study the influence of nitric oxide (NO) on the condition.
- Sixty one-day-old white leghorn chicks had one eye covered to induce FDM, with retinoscopic refraction measurements and axial length assessments conducted throughout the study.
- Results showed that covered eyes became more myopic, with changes in NO levels and iNOS expression observed, indicating that FDM is reversible and NO might play a role in its development.
