Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently listed as the 3 leading cause of death in the United States. Accumulating data shows the association between COPD occurrence and the usage of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) in patients. However, the underlying pathogenesis mechanisms of COPD have not been fully understood.

Context: Endogenous and exogenous androgens increase circulating erythrocytes and hemoglobin but their effects on erythrocyte lifespan is not known.
Objective: To investigate androgen effects on immature and mature erythrocyte lifespan in humans and mice using novel nonradioactive minimally invasive methods.
Design: Human erythrocyte lifespan was estimated using alveolar carbon monoxide concentration and blood hemoglobin in Levitt's formula in hypogonadal or transgender men before and up to 18 weeks after commencing testosterone (T) treatment.

The transcriptional and phenotypic characteristics that define alveolar monocyte and macrophage subsets in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) are poorly understood. Here, we apply CITE-seq (single-cell RNA-sequencing and cell-surface protein quantification) to bronchoalveolar lavage and blood specimens longitudinally collected from participants with AHRF to identify alveolar myeloid subsets, and then validate their identity in an external cohort using flow cytometry. We identify alveolar myeloid subsets with transcriptional profiles that differ from other lung diseases as well as several subsets with similar transcriptional profiles as reported in healthy participants (Metallothionein) or patients with COVID-19 (CD163/LGMN).
