The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents a health problem with multidimensional impacts and heterogeneous respiratory involvement in children, probably due to the interaction between different and complex mechanisms that could explain its variable degrees of severity. Although the majority of reports reveal that children develop less severe cases, the number of patients is increasing with more morbidity. Most serious respiratory manifestations are acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia. By understanding the key aspects that can be used to differentiate between pediatric and adult respiratory compromise by COVID-19, we can improve our knowledge, and thus decrease the negative impact of the disease in the pediatric population. In this mini review, we summarize some of the mechanisms and findings that distinguish between adult and pediatric COVID-19 and respiratory involvement, taking into account some issues related to the physiopathology, diagnosis, clinical and paraclinical presentation, severity, treatment, and control of the disease.

Prediction of pulmonary embolism by an explainable machine learning approach in the real world.

In recent years, large amounts of researches showed that pulmonary embolism (PE) has become a common disease, and PE remains a clinical challenge because of its high mortality, high disability, high missed and high misdiagnosed rates. To address this, we employed an artificial intelligence-based machine learning algorithm (MLA) to construct a robust predictive model for PE. We retrospectively analyzed 1480 suspected PE patients hospitalized in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between May 2015 and April 2020.

Virus-host protein interaction is critical for successful completion of viral replication cycles. As the largest nonstructural protein (NSP) of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), NSP2 plays multiple and critical roles in viral replication, antiviral immunity, cellular tropism and virulence. An interactome of this protein with host proteins would be instrumental in full understanding of these multifunctional roles.

Background: Certain peripheral proteins are believed to be involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the roles of other new protein biomarkers are still unclear. Current treatments aim to manage symptoms, but they are not effective in stopping the progression of the disease. New drug targets are needed to prevent Alzheimer's disease.

Long-term silica exposure to silica dust leads to irreversible pulmonary fibrosis, during which lung fibroblast activation plays an essential role. Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) is a structural interface for communication between the outer mitochondrial membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum. VAPB-PTPIP51 is a key complex on MAMs.

Objectives: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare and potential devastating disease with high mortality, frequently with pulmonary involvement. Our study aimed to explore the pulmonary features of AAV and identify predictors of long-term survival.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 538 AAV patients diagnosed between January 2013 and July 2019, with follow-up data extending to August 2020.
