Respiratory and circulatory changes in response to various physiological stimuli (hypoxia, cold, etc.) were studied. The respiratory center was found to play the leading role in the developing a response. Upon repeated exposures to cold and hypoxia, the central regulatory mechanisms include nonspecific compensatory mechanisms by changing the sensitivity of the respiratory center and its thresholds. Various regulatory strategies were found at different stages of adaptive processes. There was a correlation between the changes in the respiratory center and thermoregulatory shifts. The respiratory center was demonstrated to play a system-forming role. It is suggested that determination of the sensitivity of the respiratory center may serve for prognostic and diagnostic purposes.

Background: Patients with cervical spinal cord injuries (CSCIs) have a high incidence of respiratory complications. The effectiveness of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in preventing respiratory complications such as pneumonia in acute CSCIs remains unclear. We evaluated whether intermittent NPPV (iNPPV) could prevent pneumonia in patients with acute CSCIs.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe health problems in newborns and young children. The protective role and limitations of serum maternal RSV antibodies in infants under 3 months remain controversial.

Methods: A two-center prospective study from 2020 to 2023 recruited infants (n=286) admitted to the respiratory departments of two children's hospitals in southwestern and southeastern China during RSV epidemic.

Unlabelled: The SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 lineage emerged in late 2023 and quickly replaced the XBB lineages, becoming the predominant Omicron variant worldwide in 2024. We estimate the epidemiologic impact of this SARS-CoV-2 lineage replacement in Brazil and we further assessed the cross-reactive neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses in a cohort of convalescent Brazilian patients infected during 2023.

Background: Diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prominent global health challenges, each imposing significant burdens on affected individuals, healthcare systems, and society. However, the specific molecular mechanisms supporting their interrelationship have not been fully defined.

Methods: We identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of COPD and diabetes from multi-center patient cohorts, respectively.
