High-density lipoprotein (HDL) showed critical anti-inflammatory roles by modulating macrophage function, and its adverse transition to pro-inflammation has an important role in the pathogenesis of ARDS. However, the relationship between HDL protein constituents and functional remodeling is unknown in ARDS.

RTA is an important cause of rickets, particularly 'resistant rickets'. Dental manifestations frequently reported in patients with RTA include enamel hypoplasia and amelogenesis imperfecta, affecting permanent dentition.
