Article Abstract
Objective: Formaldehyde (FA) is known to induce lung injury, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unclear. CDR1as is an important member of the circular RNAs (circRNAs) family and functions as miRNA sponges with gene-regulatory potential. Our earlier circRNA microarray data showed CDR1as was highly expressed in lung tissue exposed to FA. However, the mechanism of circRNA-CDR1as mediates the FA-exposed lung injury is still unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of CDR1as in lung injury.
Materials And Methods: In this study, FA was inhaled at doses of 0.5, 2.46, and 5 mg/m3, respectively. After exposure 8 weeks, lung histopathological examination, lung injury score, and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were determined. The expressions of CDR1as, rno-miR-7b and Atg7 were detected and the potential interaction of circRNA/miRNA/mRNA was predicted by bioinformatics analysis, including drawing circRNA/miRNA/mRNA interaction network, GO and KEGG analysis.
Results: Our results indicated FA inhalation upregulated the expression of CDR1as in lung tissues in a dose-dependent manner while the expression of rno-miR-7b decreased and Atg7 increased. Moreover, the alteration of CDR1as was positively correlated with lung injury.
Discussion And Conclusions: CircRNA/miRNA/mRNA prediction further explained the possible effect mechanisms of CDR1as. These data implicated that CDR1as might be a critical regulator involved in lung injury induced by FA.

Great debate: the universal definition of myocardial infarction is flawed and should be put to rest.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is defined pathologically as myocardial cell death resulting from prolonged ischaemia. The clinical definition of this pathological process relies on clinical evidence of myocardial ischaemia and biomarker evidence of myocardial cell death. Cardiac troponins are the standard clinical biomarker for assessing cardiac cell death.

Background: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), a common cause of respiratory failure in late preterm and term neonates, is associated with a high risk of mortality and morbidity. Amongst all the treatment modalities for severe MAS, surfactant administration has a proven role in decreasing progressive respiratory failure.
Methods: The present open-label randomised controlled trial aimed to determine the effect of early (≤ 2 h) bolus surfactant therapy as compared to standard care on the total duration of respiratory support.

Objective: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common cause of chronic lung disease in infancy. Caregivers often experience significant challenges in caring for these medically complex children. The purpose of this study was to determine feasibility of administering an electronic social determinants of health (SDoH) screening tool and to determine if caregiver social needs correlate with respiratory outcomes in children with BPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airway remodeling and inflammation. Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) induces apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress in COPD. Tripterygium glycosides (TG) are an active compound found in the root extracts of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TWHF) that possesses anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.

Objective: To wean respiratory support, preterm infants with severe respiratory failure are often administered systemic corticosteroids. We sought to evaluate if postnatal age or clinical characteristics predicted death or tracheostomy following systemic dexamethasone in evolving bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Study Design: We performed a retrospective study of infants born at ≤ 30 weeks' gestational age cared for at a Level IV referral center from 2009 to 2019 who received a complete course of systemic dexamethasone beyond 4 weeks of age for the indication of preventing death and/or liberating from positive pressure ventilation.
