Objective: To explore the effects of interventional therapy with bronchoscopy in children with acquired subglottic stenosis (SGS).
Methods: The clinical data of ten pediatric inpatients with acquired SGS who were admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, as well as their follow-up information obtained 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the procedure was done.were retrospectively analyzed to examine the effect of interventional bronchoscopic therapies, including balloon dilatation, holmium laser, and cryotherapy, in pediatric patients with acquired SGS.
Results: Among the 10 patients with acquired SGS, there were 5 boys and 5 girls aged between 1 month and 6 years and 5 months, with a median age of 11 months and 1 day. Among the 5 patients with acute acquired SGS, two were treated with balloon dilatation only, with one cured and one showing clinical improvement, while three received comprehensive interventional therapy combining balloon dilatation, holmium laser, and cryotherapy, with two cured and one showing improvement. Among the 5 patients with chronic acquired SGS, four cases were cured with comprehensive interventional therapy, while one case suffered from aggravated upper airway obstruction 4 hours after balloon dilatation. The patient was subsequently put on invasive mechanical ventilation for 4 days, but was unable to be extubated. The parents signed do-not-resuscitate order and the patient died afterwards. Bronchoscopy performed 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the procedure was done showed that the SGS was improved to varying degrees.
Conclusion: Bronchoscopy intervention is an effective therapy for acquired SGS in children.

Article Synopsis
- Long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA) is effective for preventing HIV, but there have been instances of delayed diagnoses and resistance to integrase inhibitors in trials.
- A case study involving a 23-year-old gender-nonbinary individual showed that after a brief interruption in CAB-LA, HIV became detectable with an INSTI resistance mutation only identified through a sensitive research assay.
- The findings highlight the need for faster HIV testing and access to CAB-LA, even without insurance, to improve early detection and reduce the risk of resistance.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of subglottic stenosis (SGS) in children after tracheostomy and identify risk factors for development.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort.
Methods: All patients (<18 years) undergoing tracheostomy at a tertiary children's hospital between 2015 and 2020 were included.
GW4869 inhibitor affects vector competence and tick-borne flavivirus acquisition and transmission by blocking exosome secretion.

Exosomes/extracellular vesicles (EVs) are essential for the successful transmission of flaviviruses from vector to vertebrate host. Arthropod-EVs are envisioned as important target for blocking the transmission of vector-borne viral diseases. In this study, we show that the selective inhibition of EVs secretion by sphingomyelinase inhibitor, GW4869 significantly reduces vector efficiency and competence in acquiring and transmitting tick-borne flaviviruses.

Androgenetically-derived haploids can be obtained by inducing embryogenesis in microspores. Thus, full homozygosity is achieved in a single generation, oppositely to conventional plant breeding programs. Here, the metabolite profile of embryogenic microspores of Triticum aestivum was acquired and integrated with transcriptomic existing data from the same samples in an effort to identify the key metabolic processes occurring during the early stages of microspore embryogenesis.
