Platelet-Macrophage Aggregates in Remodeled Vessels of Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Acute lung injury (ALI) involves inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, resulting in lung and multiple organ injuries. This study explored the mechanism of mitophagy and cGAS/STING pathway in oleic acid (OA)-induced ALI. Mice and pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells were divided into four groups: control group (Con), ALI group, FUNDC1−/− control group (F-Con), and FUNDC1−/− ALI group (F-ALI). After 24 h of modeling, proceed with tissue collection. Lung tissues were stained using hematoxylin eosin.

Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) can block pulmonary vessels and airways, hindering treatment efficacy. Pulmonary artery (PA) stenting might provide a solution in such cases. This study involved 30 patients who had 49 PA stenting procedures for FM. Data on baseline characteristics, CT pulmonary angiography images, stent patency, and hemodynamics were collected.

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a type of primary immunodeficiency that presents as a heterogenous disorder characterized by hypogammaglobinemia, poor response to vaccines, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, and can have noninfectious systemic manifestations.
