Background: We aimed to investigate the associations of long-term exposure to ambient formaldehyde with hypertension and angina pectoris symptoms in Chinese adults.

Methods And Results: Participants' information was obtained from the WHO SAGE (World Health Organization Study on Global Aging and Adult Health) study. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was applied to estimate the associations of formaldehyde with hypertension and angina pectoris symptoms.

DNA vaccines represent an innovative approach for the immunization of diverse diseases. However, their clinical trial outcomes are constrained by suboptimal transfection efficiency and immunogenicity. In this work, we present a universal methodology involving the codelivery of Toll-like receptor 7/8 agonists (TLR7/8a) and antigen gene using TLR7/8a-conjugated peptide-coated poly(β-amino ester) (PBAE) nanoparticles (NPs) to augment delivery efficiency and immune response.

LHQK is a patented Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which is clinically used for acute tracheobronchitis, cough, and other respiratory diseases. Recent studies have proved that LHQK exhibits excellent clinical efficacy in the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI). However, the corresponding mechanisms remain largely unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how the COVID-19 pandemic and the use of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) affected the rates of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza infections in pediatric patients in central China.
  • Researchers found that children hospitalized for these infections during the pandemic were older compared to those before it, with RSV cases seeing a decline in severe cases.
  • While influenza positivity rates decreased significantly during the pandemic, RSV infections actually increased, highlighting the need for better prevention strategies for childhood RSV.

Qingke Pingchuan granules (QKPCG), a patented traditional Chinese medicine, clinically, are recommended for acute tracheobronchitis, cough, community-acquired pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases. However, its potential protective effect and mechanism of action in acute lung injury (ALI) have not been explored. We aimed to explore the mechanisms underlying the protective role of QKPCG in ALI.
