Altogether 19 patients with chronic laryngo- and tracheostenosis of different etiology were investigated. All the patients were broken into 3 groups (1--less than 1 year, 2-1-3 years, 3--over 3 years) with regard to the time of canulla bearing. The patients were examined with 99mTc-human serum albumin particles. Major disorders in the capillary blood supply of both lungs were detected. These changes were focal-diffuse. Abnormalities were mainly observed in the apical area of both lungs and in the mediastinal zone. Redistribution of the pulmonary blood supply in the direction of the upper parts of the lungs was revealed. Lung abnormalities increased depending on the time of canulla bearing.

Water-soluble and biocompatible protein carbon dots (P-CDs) were simply prepared from egg white by a rapid one-step neutralization heat reaction. Unexpectedly, the thus-fabricated P-CDs could present excitation-dependent tunable fluorescence that could be quenched specifically by Fe and Fe ions with obvious color changes. A high-throughput fluorimetric platform was thereby developed by coating the P-CDs onto a capillary array for detection of total iron ions in fish blood samples, with a linear concentration range of 0.

Pulmonary disorders are exacerbated by high blood sugar, leading to a disordered immune defense and increased susceptibility to infection. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is characterized by insulin resistance and inadequate insulin production. Mechanisms leading to pulmonary alternation due to T2D are not clear.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of Secretogranin III (Scg3) in the pathogenesis of intraocular neovascular diseases and assess its potential as a therapeutic target for novel treatment strategies.
Methods: A literature review was conducted to examine the expression of Scg3 in intraocular neovascular diseases. We reviewed studies on the interaction of Scg3 with its homologous receptors and its effect on endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and vascular permeability-key processes involved in angiogenesis and neovascularization.
