Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by eosinophilic inflammation, featuring chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), asthma, and intolerance to cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) inhibitors. The use of these medications can lead to an acute worsening of rhinitis and asthma symptoms. This condition has not yet received sufficient attention in China, with a high rate of misdiagnosis and a lack of related research.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory disease in otolaryngology, mainly manifested as nasal congestion, nasal discharge, facial pain/pressure, and smell disorder. CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), an important phenotype of CRS, has a high recurrence rate even after receiving corticosteroids and/or functional endoscopic sinus surgery. In recent years, clinicians have focused on the application of biological agents in CRSwNP.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and thoracic deformities in children by analyzing the medical records of 39 affected children compared to a control group of 39 children without deformities.
  • Key findings indicate that higher body mass index (BMI), apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), and lower oxyhemoglobin saturation levels, along with certain trace elements, are risk factors for developing thoracic deformities due to OSAS.
  • The research suggests that the breathing issues caused by OSAS should prompt healthcare professionals to closely monitor for potential thoracic deformities in pediatric patients.

Copper (Cu) is a vital metal element for humans and animals. Monitoring and evaluating the concentration level of Cu2+ in a biological body is an effective way to prevent a variety of diseases. In this work, phenyl doped graphitic carbon nitride (PDCN) nanosheets with strong green fluorescence exhibited a sensitive and selective detection for Cu2+ with a linear range from 0.

Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) is decreased in many different kinds of malignant tumors. EMT endows tumor cells invasive and metastatic properties. However, few studies have determined the role of PDCD4 in the regulation of EMT in the context of laryngeal carcinoma.
