Cyclic nucleotides (CND) levels of nasal secretions were studied in allergic rhinitis patients and control subjects. In methacholine-induced nasal secretion, allergic rhinitis patients had lower cAMP levels, higher cGMP levels and a lower cAMP/cGMP ratio than the control subjects. A close relationship was found between CND levels and the severity of daily symptoms in both methacholine-induced and antigen-induced nasal secretions.

Equid alphaherpesvirus 4 (EqAHV4; , ; equine rhinopneumonitis virus) has seldom been associated with complications such as abortion and myeloencephalopathy, given the low tendency of this virus to induce viremia. We investigated the frequency of EqAHV4 viremia in horses with fever and respiratory signs. Case selection included all equids with EqAHV4 quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)-positive nasal secretions (defined as EqAHV4 qPCR-positive cases) submitted to a diagnostic laboratory.

Glucose Metabolic Abnormalities and Their Interaction With Defective Phosphate Homeostasis in Tumor-induced Osteomalacia.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology, Key Laboratory of Endocrinology, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Dongcheng District, National Commission of Health, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing 100730, China.

Context: Phosphate homeostasis was compromised in tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) due to increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) secretion. Nevertheless, the glucose metabolic profile in TIO patients has not been investigated.

Objectives: This work aimed to clarify the glucose metabolic profiles in TIO patients and explore their interaction with impaired phosphate homeostasis.

Nose-to-Brain Targeting of Resveratrol Nanoformulations.

Curr Vasc Pharmacol

January 2025

Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.

Resveratrol [RES] is a polyphenolic stilbene with therapeutic potential owing to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective properties. However, the very poor oral bioavailability, fast metabolism, and extremely low stability under physiological conditions pose a severe detriment to the clinical use of RES. This newly developed field of nanotechnology has led to the formulation of RES into nanoformulations with the goal of overcoming metabolicpharmacokinetic limitations and enhancing the targeted transport of RES to the central nervous system [CNS].

HMOX1 as a potential drug target for upper and lower airway diseases: insights from multi-omics analysis.

Respir Res

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei, 430022, China.

Background: Oxidative stress is key in inflammatory airway diseases. Heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) regulates oxidative stress, but its role in airway diseases needs exploration.

Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between healthy nasal mucosa and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) were identified from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).

Multiple roles for retinoid signaling in craniofacial development.

Curr Top Dev Biol

January 2025

Department of Oral Immunology and Infectious Diseases, University of Louisville School of Dentistry, Louisville, KY, United States. Electronic address:

Retinoic acid (RA) signaling plays multiple essential roles in development of the head and face. Animal models with mutations in genes involved in RA signaling have enabled understanding of craniofacial morphogenic processes that are regulated by the retinoid pathway. During craniofacial morphogenesis RA signaling is active in spatially restricted domains defined by the expression of genes involved in RA production and RA breakdown.
