Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) is a rare lesion in nasal cavity first reported by Wenig and Heffner in 1995. Most commonly seen in men in third to ninth decade of life. Majority of cases presents as a polypoidal mass in one or both nasal cavities. We experienced such a case of REAH originating from the nasal septum, in posterior aspect, treated by endoscopic approach. It is important to differentiate REAH from other sinonasal pathologies like inverted papilloma and low grade sinonasal adenocarcinoma. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a lethal pathological change of fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with abundant fibroblasts proliferation after severely or continually alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) injury. Barely therapies are helpful for PF. Here we use bleomycin intratracheally injection to model PF with or without human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) and/or nintedanib intervention.

Aim: We sought to investigate the impact of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN) administration on the lung and gut microbiota in asthmatic mice, specifically focusing on changes in composition, diversity, and abundance, and to elucidate the microbial mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of CpG-ODN and identify potential beneficial bacteria indicative of its efficacy.

Methods: HE staining were used to analyze inflammation in lung, colon and small intestine tissues. High-throughput sequencing technology targeting 16S rRNA was employed to analyze the composition, diversity, and correlation of microbiome in the lung, colon and small intestine of control, model and CpG-ODN administration groups.

Introduction: The factors influencing meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) severity remain poorly understood. In a piglet model of MAS, we hypothesized the respiratory microbiome would reflect the bacterial signature of meconium with short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) accumulation as a byproduct of bacterial fermentation.

Methods: Cesarean section at approximately 115-day term was performed on two sows.

Chronic exposure to hexavalent chromium induces esophageal tumorigenesis via activating the Notch signaling pathway.

Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI), as a well-established carcinogen, contributes to tumorigenesis for many human cancers, especially respiratory and digestive tumors. However, the potential function and relevant mechanism of Cr(VI) on the initiation of esophageal carcinogenesis are largely unknown. Here, immortalized human esophageal epithelial cells (HEECs) were induced to be malignantly transformed cells, termed HEEC-Cr(VI) cells, via chronic exposure to Cr(VI), which simulates the progress of esophageal tumorigenesis.
