Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC)-related lung injurys is a commonly overlooked extraintestinal manifestation and there are currently no drugs with definitive efficacy available. Cimifugin has been found to inhibit aberrant inflammation and oxidative stress, but its efficacy in UC-related lung injurys has not yet been demonstrated.
Methods: This study explored the effects of Cimifugin on UC-related lung injurys using RNA-seq in combination with 16S rRNA sequencing.
Results: Cimifugin significantly ameliorated symptoms and attenuated colon and lung injury in a UC mouse model, restored the integrity of the intestinal and lung epithelial barriers, and suppressed lung inflammation, which was achieved by inhibiting the JAK1/STAT1 pathway and the M1 macrophage-mediated inflammatory state in the colon and lungs, as well as by improving the homeostasis of the intestinal microbiota.
Discussion: Cimifugin ameliorates UC-associated lung injury by modulating the JAK1/STAT1 pathway and macrophage M1 polarization.

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPPs) are rare but clinically relevant complications of thoracic trauma, often misdiagnosed due to their non-specific presentation and resemblance to other cavitary pulmonary lesions. We report the case of a 26-year-old male presenting with delayed symptoms following a fall, ultimately diagnosed with multiple TPPs via thoracic CT scan. The patient experienced a favourable evolution with conservative management, including aerosolized tranexamic acid for minor hemoptysis.

Background: Organic chemicals have been known to cause allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis; however, the possibility that they do not cause irreversible pulmonary fibrosis has not been considered. Polyacrylic acid (PAA), an organic chemical, has caused irreversible progressive pulmonary fibrosis in exposed workers, indicating its potential to induce pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Although intratracheal instillation studies are commonly used for evaluating lung pathology, traditional methods face challenges with chemical substances, particularly nanoparticles, which tend to aggregate in suspension and prevent uniform pulmonary distribution.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Huopu Xialing Decoction (HXD) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula widely used in the clinical treatment of respiratory viral infections. Despite its established application, the pharmacological mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects against influenza remain to be fully elucidated.
Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of HXD against influenza A virus-induced lung inflammation and to explore the role of gut microbiota and epigenetic regulation in mediating these effects.
