Objective: To conduct a systematic literature review and meta-analysis for the incidence, prevalence and mortality of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and describe the clinical burden of EGPA.
Methods: Searches were conducted in Ovid MEDLINE and Ovid Embase from January 2019 to June 2023 to identify relevant studies. Data were extracted, and the quality was assessed.

Background: As a classical regulating formula, Guominkang (GMK) has been extensively employed in clinical practice to treat the allergic asthma (AA) and alleviate allergy symptoms, however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. The aim of this study was to explored the mechanism of action through which GMK combats AA.
Methods: Potential target genes for the compounds were identified from the database and subjected to functional enrichment analysis.

Background: Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) is a precursor to Aspergillus-related lung diseases. While Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA) has been extensively studied in the background of tuberculosis, Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) has been reported sporadically with limited information on its prevalence, clinical-radiological features, and treatment outcomes.
Objective: This study, conducted in a high TB burden setting, aimed to address this knowledge gap by systematically evaluating ABPA in PTLD patients.

Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are the proteolytic enzymes accountable for extracellular matrix (ECM) modification through their Zn-dependent catalytic activity. Among these, MMP-12 is one of the crucial MMPs that contributes to various disease states including different types of cancers and other major pathophysiological conditions including COPD, asthma, emphysema, skin diseases, arthritis, vascular diseases, and neurological disorders. The majority of the MMP-12 inhibitors should have three constitutional pharmacophoric features (i.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare necrotizing vasculitis affecting small- to medium-sized vessels that can manifest in a multisystemic manner. While the classic triad of rhinosinusitis, asthma, and eosinophilia is commonly associated, it is essential to recognize that these features are not mandatory for diagnosis. We present a case of a 61-year-old woman with a unique EGPA manifestation who was hospitalized because of a seven-month history of weight loss, asthenia, epigastric abdominal pain, peripheral eosinophilia, and paresthesia in the left feet and hand.
