Open AccessEfficacy and safety of heparin for sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (HepSIC): study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) occurs in 30–50% of septic patients and contributes to high mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, there are few proven interventions for coagulation ...

Open AccessNanoparticles exhibiting virus-mimic surface topology for enhanced oral delivery
The oral delivery of nano-drug delivery systems (Nano-DDS) remains a challenge. Taking inspirations from viruses, here we construct core–shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NPs, ~80 nm) with virus-like nano...

Open AccessArnold–Chiari malformation type I and the posterior dislocation of the odontoid process aggravate prolonged weaning in a patient with severe viral pneumonia: a case report
Prolonged and difficult weaning is associated with higher rates of complications and mortality. Therefore, it is important to identify the associated factors.

Open AccessUnfractionated heparin ameliorates pulmonary microvascular endothelial barrier dysfunction via microtubule stabilization in acute lung injury
Endothelial barrier dysfunction is central to the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated acute lung injury (ALI). Microtubule (MT) dynamics in vascular endothelium are crucial for the regulation of endothelial barr...

Open AccessDiet/lifestyle and risk of diabetes and glycemic traits: a Mendelian randomization study
Observational studies have demonstrated diet/lifestyle play roles in development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM); however, it remains unclear whether these relationships are causal.

Heparin Rescues Sepsis-Associated Acute Lung Injury and Lethality Through the Suppression of Inflammatory Responses
Heparin, a potent blood anticoagulant, is known to possess anti-inflammatory activity. In this work, we investigated whether heparin can ameliorate acute lung injury and lethal response in lipopolysaccharide (...

Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Attenuates Lung Injury Induced by Intestinal Ischemia/Reperfusion in Mice: Role of Inducible Nitric-Oxide Synthase
Multiple organ failure, including acute lung injury (ALI), is a common complication of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries and contributes to its high mortality rate. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) i...
