The work is based on an analysis of results of treatment of 25 patients with localized pleuro-pulmonary cavities by the methods of minor surgery. During abscessoscopy collagen was placed on the wound surface, the surface was filled with fibronectin and followed by active aspiration within 12-24 hours. In 20 (80%) patients the lung was expanded earlier. Five patients had no effect.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a high-mortality lung disease with limited treatment options, highlighting the need for new therapies. Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) is a promising target due to its role in regulating transcription via the TGF-β/Smad pathway, though CDK8 inhibitors have not been thoroughly studied for PF. This study aims to evaluate the potential of E966-0530-45418, a novel CDK8 inhibitor, in mitigating PF progression and explores its underlying mechanisms.

Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), a type II collagenase, is a key enzyme in the degradation of collagens and is implicated in various pathological processes, making it a promising target for drug discovery. Despite advancements in the development of MMP-8 inhibitors, concerns over potential adverse effects persist. This study aims to address these concerns by focusing on the development of novel compounds with improved safety profiles while maintaining efficacy.

Background: Androgen deprivation is associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). In different animal models, sulfur dioxide (SO) donors NaSO and NaHSO reduced oxidative stress, fibrosis, and inflammation which contribute to the pathogenesis of androgen deprivation-induced ED, however the effect of SO donors on ED in castrated rats were not known.
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of SO donors, NaSO/NaHSO, on ED in castrated rat model.

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a major factor contributing to skin photoaging, including the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), collagen breakdown, and overall skin damage. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) is a polypeptide hormone that regulates dermal survival and collagen synthesis. Echinacoside (Ech), a natural phenylethanoid glycoside, is the most abundant active compound in Cistanches.

Background: Endothelial cells are integral components of the tumor microenvironment and play a multifaceted role in tumor immunotherapy. Targeting endothelial cells and related signaling pathways can improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy by normalizing tumor blood vessels and promoting immune cell infiltration. However, to date, there have been no comprehensive studies analyzing the role of endothelial cells in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD).
