Thymomas are rare tumors originating from thymic tissue, often associated with various paraneoplastic syndromes that can pose significant clinical management challenges. Myasthenia gravis, one of the most common paraneoplastic syndromes linked to thymomas, is characterized by autoantibodies targeting the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle weakness exacerbated by repetitive use. Good's syndrome, an adult-onset immunodeficiency associated with thymomas, results in hypogammaglobulinemia and susceptibility to opportunistic infections, which can be life-threatening.

Objectives: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a highly inflammatory condition with the involvement of M1 alveolar macrophages (AMs) polarization, eventually leading to the development of non-cardiogenic edema in alveolar and interstitial regions, accompanied by persistent hypoxemia. Given the significant mortality rate associated with ALI, it is imperative to investigate the underlying mechanisms of this condition so as to identify potential therapeutic targets. The therapeutic effects of the inhibition of bromodomain containing protein 4 (BRD4), an epigenetic reader, has been proven with high efficacy in ameliorating various inflammatory diseases through mediating immune cell activation.

Acute hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude can cause fatal non-cardiogenic high altitude pulmonary edema. Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant treatments appear to be a prospective way to alleviate acute hypoxia lung injury. Kaempferol (KA) and ginsenoside Rg1 (GRg1) can be isolated and purified from ginseng with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, neuroprotective, and antiaging effects.
