Objective: To describe a relatively rare hypersentivity reaction with pulmonary manifestations in a pediatric patient.

Data Sources: Electronic medical records.

Study Selection: Patient treatment in the pediatric critical care unit.

Data Extraction And Synthesis: Electronic medical records.

Conclusions: Eosinophilic pneumonias are rare in the pediatric population. Peripheral eosinophilia is not necessary to make the diagnosis. Bronchoalveolar lavage is the diagnostic study of choice. Lung biopsies are rarely needed to make the diagnosis. The treatment of choice is steroids. If steroids fail to improve the patient's condition, consider IVIG, and cyclosporine A.

Tumor Microenvironment-Driven Structural Transformation of Vanadium-Based MXenzymes to Amplify Oxidative Stress for Multimodal Tumor Therapy.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

January 2025

National Engineering Research Center for Biomaterials, College of Biomedical Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610064, China.

MXenzymes, a promising class of catalytic therapeutic material, offer great potential for tumor treatment, but they encounter significant obstacles due to suboptimal catalytic efficiency and kinetics in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, this study draws inspiration from the electronic structure of transition metal vanadium, proposing the leverage of TME specific-features to induce structural transformations in sheet-like vanadium carbide MXenzymes (TVMz). These transformations trigger cascading catalytic reactions that amplify oxidative stress, thereby significantly enhancing multimodal tumor therapy.

Unlabelled: Numerous studies have shown that topical timolol is effective in treating infantile hemangioma (IH) with minimal adverse events. However, consensus is lacking on optimal timing, dosage, frequency, and safety parameters for this treatment. This study aims to explore the timing and safety of topical timolol treatment for superficial IH.
