Development of aspergilloma is common in cases with a fungus ball-like shadow in cavities due to old tuberculosis. Some reports have shown that blood clots tend to appear as a fungus ball-like shadow. A 71-year-old man with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis presented with a fungus ball-like shadow in an old cavity and hemoptysis. There was no evidence of aspergillus infection on various examinations. We confirmed a blood clot and aneurysm of an artery under direct vision by bronchoscopy. A lateral thoracic artery aneurysm was detected by angiography. Transcatheter arterial embolization was performed. After treatment, the artery aneurysm disappeared.

Aims: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is chronic inflammatory disorder mainly affects the lining of articular cartilage of synovial joints characterized by severe inflammation and joint damage. The expression of proteolytic enzymes like MMP-2 and Neutrophil Elastase (NE) worsens the RA condition. To address this concern, we have synthesized dual enzyme targeted chlorotoxin conjugated nanomicelles loaded with sivelestat as broad spectrum treatment for RA.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) gammaherpesvirus with a poorly characterized lytic replication cycle. However, the lytic replication cycle of the alpha- and betaherpesviruses are well characterized. During lytic infection of alpha- and betaherpesviruses, the viral genome is replicated as a precursor form, which contains tandem genomes linked via terminal repeats (TRs).

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory bowel disease, and until now therapeutic agents for UC still cannot exert satisfied effects. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of boswellic acid coated zinc nanoparticles (BAs-ZnNPs) on dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) induced-UC in rats.
Methods: Rats were divided into five groups; control, BAs-ZnNPs, DSS, DSS+BAs, and DSS + BAs-ZnNPs.
The Contribution of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus ORF7 and Its Zinc-Finger Motif to Viral Genome Cleavage and Capsid Formation.

During Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) lytic infection, lytic-related proteins are synthesized, viral genomes are replicated as a tandemly repeated form, and subsequently, capsids are assembled. The herpesvirus terminase complex is proposed to package an appropriate genome unit into an immature capsid, by cleavage of terminal repeats (TRs) flanking tandemly linked viral genomes. Although the mechanism of capsid formation in alpha- and betaherpesviruses are well-studied, in KSHV, it remains largely unknown.

Fungus ball is a common disease encountered in rhinology departments. As it usually affects immunocompetent patients, other systemic diseases occurring concurrently with fungus ball have not been reported often. Recently, we encountered a patient who was diagnosed with fungus ball in the maxillary sinus and underwent endoscopic sinus surgery.
