OBJECTIVES: No study has evaluated the degree of contamination after the total disassembly of continuous positive-airway pressure (CPAP) devices. We assessed the extent of contamination of the CPAP device by disassembling the system and identifying the factors that influence the degree of CPAP contamination, which is applied daily in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS: Chart review of the medical records of patients with OSA who underwent disassembly and cleaning of the CPAP device was performed by two skilled technicians who photographed the levels of contamination of each component and scored them using a visual analog scale...

OBJECTIVES: Air pollution is a growing global concern, and its effect on allergic inflammation has attracted the attention of many researchers. Particulate matter (PM) is a major component of ambient air pollution, and heavy metals are the primary toxic constituents of PM. As previous studies on the impact of air pollutants on allergic inflammation lacked physiological resemblance to actual atmospheric exposure, we built an experimental model to investigate the effects of aerosolized air pollutants on nasal epithelial cells and fibroblasts...

Cochlear hair cells are critical in converting sound into electrical signals that are relayed via the spiral ganglion neurons to the central auditory pathway. Hair cells are vulnerable to damage caused by excessive noise, aging, and ototoxic agents. Non-mammals can regenerate lost hair cells by mitotic regeneration and direct transdifferentiation of surrounding supporting cells. However, in mature mammals, damaged hair cells are not replaced, resulting in permanent hearing loss. Recent studies have uncovered mechanisms by which sensory organs in non-mammals and the neonatal mammalian cochlea regenerate hair cells, and outlined possible mechanisms why this ability declines rapidly with age in mammals...
