Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare lung disease caused by diffuse, abnormal intra-alveolar surfactant accumulation. Here, we report a case of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis with heterogeneous accumulation of F-FDG in both lungs shown on the combined F-FDG PET/CT.

Capsaicin is commonly used as a flavoring and a riot control agent. However, long-term exposure or high doses can cause acute lung injury in military and police personnel. The mechanisms underlying capsaicin-induced pulmonary toxicity remain unclear.

: Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant with antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its therapeutic applications are limited by rapid oxidation due to heat and light sensitivity. Aptamin C, which employs aptamers to bind vitamin C, has demonstrated enhanced stability and efficacy.

Der p1 is one of the major allergens causing house dust mite (HDM) allergy. Pathological Der p1-specific B cells play a key role in allergic inflammation as producers of allergen-specific antibodies. Crosslinking the inhibitory FcγRIIb with the B cell receptor triggers a high-affinity suppressive signal in B cells.

Despite the increasing number of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cases in recent years, its impact on neonatal outcomes and respiratory morbidity, as well as the underlying pathogenetic mechanism, has not yet been extensively studied. Moreover, no study has yet demonstrated the effectiveness of antenatal corticosteroid therapy (CT) for the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in newborns of mothers with PAS at the molecular level. In this regard, microRNA (miRNA) profiling by small RNA deep sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR was performed on 160 blood plasma samples from preterm infants (gestational age: 33-36 weeks) and their mothers who had been diagnosed with or without PAS depending on the timing of the antenatal RDS prophylaxis.

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are pathologies affecting the pulmonary interstitium and, less frequently, the alveolar and vascular epithelia. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is commonly used in ILD evaluation since it allows the sampling of the lower respiratory tract. The prognostic value of BAL cell counts in ILD is unknown.
