Background: Eph receptors and ephrin ligands have several functions including angiogenesis, cell migration, axon guidance, fluid homeostasis, oncogenesis, inflammation and injury repair. The EphA2 receptor potentially mediates the regulation of vascular permeability and inflammation in response to lung injury. Methods: Mice were divided into 3 experimental groups to study the role of EphA2 signaling in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced lung injury model i.e., IgG+phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group (IgG instillation before PBS exposure), IgG+LPS group (IgG instillation before LPS exposure) and EphA2 monoclonal antibody (mAb)+LPS group (EphA2 mAb pretreatment before LPS exposure). Results: EphA2 and ephrinA1 were upregulated in LPS-induced lung injury. The lung injury score of the EphA2 mAb+LPS group was lower than that of the IgG+LPS group (4.30±2.93 vs. 11.45±1.20, respectively; p=0.004). Cell counts (EphA2 mAb+LPS: 11.33×104±8.84×104 vs. IgG+LPS: 208.0×104±122.6×104; p=0.018) and total protein concentrations (EphA2 mAb+LPS: 0.52±0.41 mg/mL vs. IgG+LPS: 1.38±1.08 mg/mL; p=0.192) were decreased in EphA2 mAb+LPS group, as compared to the IgG+LPS group. In addition, EphA2 antagonism reduced the expression of phospho-p85, phosphoinositide 3-kinase 110γ, phospho-Akt, nuclear factor κB, and proinflammatory cytokines. Conclusion: This results of the study indicated a role for EphA2-ephrinA1 signaling in the pathogenesis of LPS-induced lung injury. Furthermore, EphA2 antagonism inhibits the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-Akt pathway and attenuates inflammation.

Introduction: EQ-5D is a generic preference - based measure of health that can help to understand the impact of respiratory diseases. The impact of pulmonary nontuberculosis mycobacterial (pNTM) disease on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has not been studied much. Method: This study was an age and sex-matched case control analysis of 85 pNTM cohorts and 255 national survey participants. Baseline EQ-5D visual analog scale (VAS) scores and EQ-5D utility scores were measured in both groups and compared. In the pNTM patients, the factors affecting EQ-5D were studied with the multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The mean EQ-5D VAS and utility scores were not different in pNTM patients (EQ -5D VAS, 69.18; EQ-5D score, 0.945) compared with control subjects (EQ-5D VAS, 80.78; EQ-5D, 0.946). (EQ -5D VAS, P=0.08; EQ-5D score, P=0.96). Interestingly, the percentage of subjects reporting any problems on the anxiety/depression dimension, was higher for pNTM patients (18.8%) than control subjects (11%) (P=0.05). In multivariable analysis, only FEV1 were significantly associated with EQ-5D VAS and utility scores (EQ -5D VAS, P<0.01; EQ-5D score, P<0.001). Conclusions: Results suggest the EQ-5D do not yield consistent utility values in pNTM patients due to ceiling effect of EQ-5D and mild disease activity. EQ-5D is closely associated with lung function and not explained by sex, age, cavity lesion, BMI, past TB history, radiographic severity or comorbidity.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Dysregulated serum fatty acids are associated with a lipotoxic placental environment, which contributes to increased pregnancy complications via altered trophoblast invasion. However, the role of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in trophoblastic autophagy has yet to be explored. Here, we demonstrated that prolonged exposure of saturated fatty acids interferes with the invasiveness of human extravillous trophoblasts. Saturated fatty acids (but not unsaturated fatty acids) inhibited the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes, resulting in the formation of intracellular protein aggregates. Furthermore, when the trophoblast cells were exposed to saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids counteracted the effects of saturated fatty acids by increasing degradation of autophagic vacuoles. Saturated fatty acids reduced the levels of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 and MMP-9, while unsaturated fatty acids maintained their levels. In conclusion, saturated fatty acids induced decreased trophoblast invasion, of which autophagy dysfunction plays a major role.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> SFAs induce insoluble protein aggregation in trophoblasts. </LI> <LI> SFAs impair autophagosome-lysosome fusion in trophoblasts. </LI> <LI> UFAs attenuate SFA-induced protein aggregate formation. </LI> <LI> UFAs restore the invasive capabilities of trophoblasts. </LI> </UL> </P>

Background: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a technique developed to allow mediastinal staging of lung cancer and also to evaluate intrathoracic lymphadenopathy. In a tuberculosis-endemic area, tuberculosis should be considered as an etiology of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of the routine culture for tuberculosis from specimens of EBUS-TBNA. Methods: We prospectively performed routine culture for tuberculosis from aspiration or core biopsy specimens got from 86 patients who had undergone EBUS-TBNA due to mediastinal lymphadenopathy between March 2010 and March 2011. Results: A total of 135 lymph node aspiration and 118 core biopsy specimens were included in this analysis. We confirmed the malignancy in 62 (72.9%), tuberculosis in 7 (8.1%), sarcoidosis in 7 (8.1%), asperogillosis in 2 (2.3%) and pneumoconiosis in 2 (2.3%) patients. One lung cancer patient had pulmonary tuberculosis coincidentally and 5 patients had unknown lymphadenopathy. The number of positive culture for Mycobacterium tuberculsosis by EBUS-TBNA is 2 (1.5%) from 135 lymph node aspiration specimens and 2 (1.7%) from 118 core biopsy specimens. Out of eight patients confirmed with tuberculosis, only one patient had positive mycobacterial culture of aspiration specimen from EBUS-TBNA without histopathologic diagnosis. Conclusion: These results propose that routine culture for tuberculosis from EBUS-TBNA may not provide additional information for the diagnosis of coincident tuberculous lymphadenitis. However, if there is any possibility of tuberculous lymphadenopathy or pulmonary tuberculosis, it should be considered to perform EBUS-TBNA in patients who have negative sputum AFB smears or no sputum production.

Background: CA 19-9 is a useful marker for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer including pancreatic cancer. However, there are several previous studies about CA 19-9 elevation in benign lung diseases like emphysema, fibrosis and bronchiectasis. This study investigated the clinical signifi cance of serum CA 19-9 elevation in pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (PNTM) disease, compared with pulmonary TB. Method: Serum CA 19-9 in patients with PNTM (n=59) and pulmonary TB (n=36) were measured. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the factors related to CA 19-9 elevation in PNTM disease. The sequential changes in serum CA 19-9 before and after treatment were compared between pulmonary TB and PNTM disease. Results: The median CA 19-9 level was higher in patients with PNTM disease than pulmonary TB (PNTM: 13.80, TB: 5.85, P<0.001). However, after adjusting for age, sex, radiologic severity and previous TB history, the CA 19-9 levels between two groupswere not different (PNTM: 28.35, TB: 12.68, P =0.471). Among 59 patients with PNTM disease, serum CA 19-9 levels were elevated in 11(18.6%). M.abscessus species (OR 10.37, 95% CI: 1.96, 54.93; P=0.006) and extensive pulmonary lesions more than three lobes (OR 6.37, 95% CI: 1.02, 39.60, P=0.047) were signifi cantly associated with an elevated CA 19-9 levels. While the CA 19-9 levels showed a tendency to decrease during successful treatment of PNTM disease, but not in pulmonary TB. Conclusions: Serum CA 19-9 level was increased in substantial proportions of the patients with PNTM disease and it may be useful in the monitoring of therapeutic responses of PNTM disease.

Purpose: This study aims to measure the improvement of balanced ability and rapid response of 30 healthy adults by performing dynamic stretching, static stretching, and sargent jump. Methods: The sample 30 peoples without any musculoskeletal disease who volunteered to be the subject of the study. We measured all subjects on following metrics to evaluate the function and stability under the normal condition, with dynamic stretching (DS) group, static stretching (SS) group: vertical jump height and reaching distance Anterior, Posteromedial, Posterolateral and NO (Normal eye open), NC (Normal eye close), PO (Pillow with eye open), and PC (Pillow with close eye) were evaluated. All measures were analyzed using independent t-test and One-way repeated Anova. Results: There was a significant increase in SJH (Sargent jump) in both groups (p<0.05). In Y-balance test, there was a significant increase in both groups except for the ANT (Anterior) direction, and there was a significant increase only in the SS group in the ANT (Anterior) direction (p< 0.05). There was no significant difference between the DS group and the SS group (p >0.05). There was no significant improvement in ST (Stability Index) and WDI (Weight Distribution Index) in both groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Both DS and SS showed significant improvement in SJH and Y-balance tests, which are dynamic functions, but had no significant effect on static balance ability.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness that is characterized by systemic inflammation usually involving medium-sized arteries and multiple organs during the acute febrile phase, leading to associated clinical findings. The diagnosis is based on the principal clinical findings including fever, extremity changes, rash, conjunctivitis, oral changes, and cervical lymphadenopathy. However, KD diagnosis is sometimes overlooked or delayed because other systemic organ manifestations may predominate in acute phase of KD. As a cardiovascular manifestation, an acute pericarditis usually shows a small pericardial effusion, but large pericardial effusion showing clinical signs of cardiac tamponade is very rare. Here, we described a case of incomplete KD presenting with impending cardiac tamponade, and recurrent fever and pleural effusion. (J Rheum Dis 2020;27:68-72)
