PANoptosis is a newly defined type of programmed cell death (PCD), which is triggered by a variety of stimuli and covers three known forms of PCD: apoptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis. In physiological state, cell death plays an important protective role against pathogen invasion, but its over-activation may aggravate inflammatory response and cause tissue damage. Studies have shown that the occurrence and progression of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other lung diseases are closely related to PANoptosis. The purpose of this review is to deeply explore the molecular mechanism of PANoptosis and its regulatory factors in lung diseases, in order to discover potential therapeutic targets and provide new targets and innovative ideas for clinical treatment for lung diseases.

Objectives miR-207 has been identified as being expressed in natural killer (NK) cell exosomes that play a role in disease progression; however, to date, there are no studies specifically linking miR-207 to tuberculosis (TB). Methods Bioinformatics methods employed for prediction, followed by a dual luciferase reporter assay to determine whether lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) is targeted by miR-207. The experiments were divided into four groups using the liposome transfection method (OP-LAMP2 group: co-transfected with miR-207 mimics and LAMP2 overexpression plasmid; EP group: co-transfected with mimics NC and null-loaded plasmid; siLAMP2 group: transfected with siLAMP2; and siLAMP2-NC group: transfected with siLAMP2-NC). TB infection was modeled using H37Ra-infected Ana-1 cells. The impact of LAMP2 on intracellular mycobacterial load and clearance of extracellular residual mycobacteria were assessed by tuberculosis colony-forming unit counting. Flow cytometry was used to assess the total apoptosis rate. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was conducted to determine the relative expression of LAMP2, apoptosis genes, pyroptosis genes, and autophagy genes. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the relative expression of LAMP2 proteins, apoptosis proteins, pyroptosis proteins, and autophagy proteins. Results Dual luciferase reporter assay test showed that there was a targeting relationship between LAMP2 and miR-207. The transfection model was successfully constructed under real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot statistical analysis, and microscopic observation. The infection model was successfully established under microscopic observation. Colony forming unit counting revealed that the number of colonies in the OP-LAMP2 group was lower than that in the EP group, while the number of colonies in the siLAMP2 group was higher than that in the siLAMP2-NC group. Flow cytometry assay revealed that the total apoptosis in OP-LAMP2 group was lower than that in EP group, and the total apoptosis in siLAMP2 group was higher than that in siLAMP2-NC group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis revealed that the relative expression of apoptosis and pyroptosis-related proteins and genes in the control group was lower in the OP-LAMP2 group compared to the EP group, and higher in the siLAMP2 group compared to the siLAMP2-NC group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detected that the relative expression of autophagy positively regulated genes Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3)and Beclin1 in the OP-LAMP2 group was higher in the OP-LAMP2 group compared to the EP group, and lower in the siLAMP2 group compared to the siLAMP2-NC group, while the relative expression of negatively regulated autophagy genes followed the opposite trend to that of autophagy positively regulated genes. The relative expression of autophagy-related proteins was consistent with the trend of autophagy genes. Conclusions miR-207 enhances macrophage apoptosis, cellular pyroptosis and inhibits autophagy, promoting survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by targeting the autophagy-related protein LAMP2, thus offering a novel therapeutic direction for tuberculosis.

Pulmonary diseases, as a prevalent category of respiratory system disorders, have become a significant global public health concern. The increasing incidence of these diseases, caused by environmental pollution and occupational hazards, poses a substantial threat to human health and the overall quality of life. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known for their remarkable immunomodulatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-apoptotic capabilities. Exosomes derived from MSCs, carrying a diverse array of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other bio-active molecules, have demonstrated considerable therapeutic potential in treating pulmonary diseases, and have come to the forefront of medical research. This review summarized the therapeutic role of exosomes derived from various sources of mesenchymal stem cells in the context of pulmonary diseases, aiming to provide a robust foundation for their clinical application in diagnosis and treatment.

Porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus(PHEV),a betacoronavirus with a sin-gle-stranded,positive-sense RNA genome,is an important pathogen in the swine industry.It causes porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis(PHE),presenting with symptoms such as vomiting,diarrhea,neurological symptoms,and respiratory distress,particularly in piglets.The virus is asso-ciated with high mortality rates and growth stunting in subclinical cases.PHEV has a well-docu-mented global distribution,with occurrences reported across Europe,South America,North Amer-ica,and East Asia,posing a considerable challenge to the swine industry.This review aims to pro-vide a comprehensive overview of PHE's virological characteristics,epidemiology,clinical and pathological manifestations,mechanisms of infection and pathogenicity,and the current state of di-agnostic techniques.It further evaluates advancements in vaccine and antiviral development,along-side comprehensive prevention and control strategies,contextualized within the framework of the latest foundational research.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of different doses of epidural oxycodone injection for traction reaction during cesarean sections to determine the optimal dose.Methods Totally 119 cases of parturients who underwent cesarean sections from October 2023 to May 2024 were selected and randomly divided into groups A,B,C and D.All four groups of lying-in women received epidural injection after the umbilical cord was cut.Groups A,B and C were given oxycodone 3 mg,5 mg and 7 mg respectively,and group D was given an equal amount of normal saline.The primary outcomes were documentation of maternal vital signs and traction reaction during the surgery.Secondary outcomes included patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)times within 48 hours and documentation of any postoperative adverse events within 24 hours.Results The comparison of in-tra?operative vital signs among the four groups of patients revealed no statistically significant differences.In groups A,B and C the incidence of traction reactions was significantly lower at 20％,17.2％and 3.3％,respectively,compared to group D at 53.3％,showing statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Additionally,the inci?dence of traction reaction in group C was significantly lower than in group A(P<0.05).Groups A,B and C pro?duced significantly better results than group D in terms of the duration of anesthesia.PCIA presses were substan?tially less in groups A and C than in group D(P<0.05),and group C had a significantly higher total incidence of adverse events than group A and group D(P<0.05).Conclusions Epidural injection of 3 mg,5 mg and 7 mg oxycodone has been proved to significantly reduce traction reaction during cesarean sections while minimally im?pacting intraoperative vital signs.This intervention has the potential to extend the duration of anesthesia,decrease the frequency of PCIA presses.Among these,7 mg is the most effective but has the highest incidence of adverse effects,requiring carefully post?operative monitoring.

This article presents a case of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in a pregnant woman caused by coronary artery dissection. The 41-year-old patient had undergone cardiac valve surgery at the age of 1 and had no risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, alcohol use, or a family history of coronary artery disease. At 31 +1 weeks of gestation, she experienced sudden chest pain for 4 hours and was emergently referred to Peking University First Hospital on June 1, 2021. Electrocardiogram revealed ST-segment elevation in leads I, aVL, and V 2 to V 6. Biochemical assays showed elevated levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and creatine kinase-MB. Echocardiography indicated segmental ventricular wall motion abnormalities (apical) and reduced left ventricular function, confirming the diagnosis of acute anterior wall STEMI. The patient promptly underwent emergency coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention and confirmed coronary artery dissection. Postoperative care included antiplatelet, anticoagulation, and supportive treatment. At 34 +3 weeks of gestation, with the condition of acute anterior wall STEMI being relatively stable, a cesarean section was successfully performed. Regular cardiology follow-ups were scheduled postpartum, and cardiac function was normal in two years after discharge.
