This review explores the progressive domain of network pharmacology and its potential to revolutionize therapeutic approaches for Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs), a collective term encompassing Interstitial Pneumonia, Pneumoconiosis, Connective Tissue Disease-related ILDs, and Sarcoidosis. The exploration focuses on the profound legacy of traditional medicines, particularly Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM), and their largely unexplored capacity in ILD treatment. These ancient healing systems, characterized by their holistic methodologies and multifaceted treatment modalities, offer a promising foundation for discovering innovative therapeutic strategies.

Clinical implications of human Parvovirus B19 infection on autoimmunity and autoimmune diseases.

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is a human pathogen from the Parvoviridae family that primarily targets and replicates in erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs). While its symptoms are typically self-limiting in healthy individuals, B19V can cause or exacerbate autoimmune diseases in vulnerable patients. This review integrates the involvement of B19V in the development and worsening of several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), hematological disorders (thalassemia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia), vasculitis, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), dermatological disease (systemic sclerosis, psoriasis), autoimmune thyroid disease, myocarditis, and myasthenia gravis, and autoinflammatory disease of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).

Biomimetic Topological Micropattern Arrays Regulate the Heterogeneity of Cellular Fates in Lung Fibroblasts between Fibrosis and Invasion.

Article Synopsis
  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) involves persistent lung tissue injury and abnormal healing, with key roles played by myofibroblasts transitioning from fibroblasts and depositing extracellular matrix (ECM).
  • Research using engineered ECM micropatterns revealed that isotropic fibroblasts exhibited invasive characteristics and high expression of specific markers, while anisotropic fibroblasts adopted a more normal remodeling phenotype.
  • The study highlights how cellular topology affects fibroblast behavior and interactions with the ECM, which could contribute to worsening fibrosis and potentially create an environment that promotes cancer development.

Secondary organizing pneumonia after infection.

World J Clin Cases

Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok 10700, Thailand.

This editorial explores the clinical implications of organizing pneumonia (OP) secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis, as presented in a recent case report. OP is a rare condition characterized by inflammation in the alveoli, which spreads to alveolar ducts and terminal bronchioles, usually after lung injuries caused by infections or other factors. OP is classified into cryptogenic (idiopathic) and secondary forms, the latter arising after infections, connective tissue diseases, tumors, or treatments like drugs and radiotherapy.
