Sexual spores in mushrooms: bioactive compounds, factors and molecular mechanisms of spore formation.

Arch Microbiol

January 2025

Jiangsu Key Laboratory for the Research and Utilization of Plant Resources, Institute of Botany, Jiangsu Province and Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, 210014, China.

Throughout the life cycle of mushrooms, countless spores are released from the fruiting bodies. The spores have significant implications in the food and medicine industries due to pharmacological effects attributed to their bioactive ingredients. Moreover, high concentration of mushroom spores can induce extrinsic allergic reactions in mushroom cultivation workers.

Article Synopsis
  • Allergic reactions and angioedema are significant conditions in emergency care, affecting patient management.
  • A study evaluated maximum lysis (ML) using thromboelastometry in patients with immunologic reactions, measuring ML at admission and two hours later.
  • Results showed that patients still experiencing symptoms after two hours had higher ML than those who were asymptomatic, indicating a potential link between symptom persistence and changes in ML.

Predictive factors of progression in mild fibrosing interstitial lung disease patients with gender-age-physiology score of 3 or less.

Respir Investig

January 2025

Division of Respirology, Neurology, and Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Kurume University School of Medicine, 67 Asahi-machi, Kurume, Fukuoka, 830-0011, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify prognostic factors for annual progression in mild fibrosing interstitial lung disease (FILD) using retrospective data and logistic regression analysis.
  • Significant factors associated with progression included the diagnosis of specific lung diseases, patient-reported outcomes, changes in lung function tests, and the CT scan's appearance.
  • The findings suggest that factors such as exercise-induced hypoxia, radiological patterns, and certain disease diagnoses are key predictors of how FILD may worsen over time.

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis radiologic features in interstitial lung diseases.

Respir Med

January 2025

Center of Excellence for Interstitial Lung Diseases, Tel Aviv Medical Center, Tel Aviv University, Israel; Institute of Pulmonary Medicine, Tel Aviv Medical Center, Tel Aviv University, Israel. Electronic address:

Background: The radiologic criteria of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) guidelines focus on four HP compatible features (HPCF) in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT): ground glass opacities, mosaic attenuation, air-trapping, and centrilobular nodules. However, evidence to support these criteria are limited.

Methods: Consecutive interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients who underwent HRCT between 2016 and 2021 in three medical centers were included.
