Since the beginning of this century, three types of coronavirus have widely transmitted and caused severe diseases and deaths, which strongly indicates that severe infectious diseases caused by coronavirus infection are not accidental events. Coronavirus-infected diseases are mainly manifested by respiratory symptoms, with multiple organ dysfunctions. Precisely investigating the pathological process, characteristics and pathogenesis of coronavirus-infected diseases will be beneficial for us to understand clinical manifestations and provide targeted suggestions on prophylaxis and treatment. This paper briefly reviews the pathological findings of three known coronavirus-infected diseases, and attempts to construct the pathological spectrum of coronavirus-infected diseases, aiming to provide reference and thinking for autopsy, histopathological examination and animal infection model study of coronavirus-infected diseases.

Objective: To establish a coronavirus (CoV) infection model using human nasal mucosa organoids for testing antiviral drugs and evaluate the feasibility of using human nasal mucosa organoids with viral infection as platforms for viral research and antiviral drug development.
Methods: Human nasal mucosa organoids were tested for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV-OC43 pseudoviruses. In a P3 laboratory, nasal mucosa organoids were infected with the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 and 4 variant strains, and the infection conditions were optimized.

Article Synopsis
- - This study examined testicular lesions in cats in Hong Kong from 2018 to 2024, focusing on both neoplastic (tumor-related) and non-neoplastic (non-tumor-related) findings.
- - Out of 26 testis samples from 18 cats, non-neoplastic lesions were more common, especially inflammation and conditions like cryptorchidism, while neoplastic lesions were found in three older cats, including Sertoli cell tumor, leiomyoma, and fibrosarcoma.
- - The research highlights that non-neoplastic lesions are prevalent and identifies new instances of leiomyoma and fibrosarcoma in cats’ testes, suggesting the need for awareness about these possible conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory lung diseases lead to a significant number of deaths and disabilities globally, with conditions like severe asthma and infections from viruses presenting challenges due to a lack of effective treatments.
- Oxidative imbalance is highlighted as a critical factor in these lung issues, where excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause cellular damage and worsen inflammation.
- The text suggests that further research into new therapeutic targets is essential to prevent and treat lung disorders linked to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Fulminant viral hepatitis (FH) represents a significant clinical challenge, with its pathogenesis not yet fully elucidated. Heat shock protein (HSP)70, a molecular chaperone protein with a broad range of cytoprotective functions, is upregulated in response to stress. However, the role of HSP70 in FH remains to be investigated.
