The results of histological and electron microscopic studies of the lung and kidney from the patients who died from burn sepsis are presented. The lung and kidney showed blood circulatory disorders, reversible and irreversible damages, and cell necrosis. The most pronounced changes of lung cells were revealed near coccal bacteria.

Heterogeneous roles of complement C3 have been implicated in tumor metastasis and are highly context dependent. However, the underlying mechanisms linking C3 to tumor metastasis remain elusive in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Here, we demonstrate that C3 of RCC cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) contributes to metastasis via polarizing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) into the immunosuppressive phenotype and recruiting polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs).

Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) are antihypertension medications that improve cardiac remodeling and protect the heart. However, at the early stage of hypertension, it is still unclear how these two drugs affect the transcriptomic profile of multiple organs in hypertensive rats and the transcriptomic differences between them. We performed RNA sequencing to define the RNA expressing profiles of the eight tissues (atrium, ventricle, aorta, kidney, brain, lung, white fat, and brown fat) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and SHRs treated with ARNI or ARB.

Polycystic kidney and hepatic disease 1-like protein 1 (PKHD1L1) is predicted to encode a large type I transmembrane protein involved in hearing transmission and mediating cellular immunity under physiological conditions. However, its role in cancer progression, especially in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we observed significantly lower expression of PKHD1L1 in LUAD tissues than in normal lung tissues on the basis of the integration of public datasets from the TCGA and GEO cohorts.

Background: There are limited comparative data on real-world outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left main (LM) and non-LM coronary arteries.
Methods: 873 consecutive patients undergoing LM PCI (n=256) and non-LM PCI (n=617) were enrolled between September 2019-March 2023 in the Excellence in Coronary Artery Disease (XLCAD) Registry. Primary outcome was 1-year incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, clinically driven repeat revascularization and ischemic stroke.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common genetic disease in the world and a societal challenge. SCD is characterized by multi-organ injury related to intravascular hemolysis. To understand tissue-specific responses to intravascular hemolysis and exposure to heme, we present a transcriptomic atlas in the primary target organs of HbSS vs HbAA transgenic SCD mice.
