    The intramuscular administration of polymerized type I collagen (PTIC) for adult symptomatic COVID-19 outpatients downregulated hyperinflammation and improved symptoms. We inferred that LAIR1 is a potential receptor for PTIC. Thus, a binding assay and surface plasmon resonance binding assay were performed to estimate the affinity of the interaction between LAIR1 and PTIC. M1 macrophages derived from THP-1 cells were cultured with 2–10% PTIC for 24 h. Lysates from PTIC-treated THP-1 cells, macrophage-like cells (MLCs), M1, M1 + IFN-γ, and M1 + LPS were analyzed by Western blot for NF-κB (p65), p38, STAT1, and pSTAT1 (tyrosine701). Serum cytokine levels and monocyte LAIR1 expressions (Mo1 and Mo2) were analyzed by luminometry and flow cytometry in symptomatic COVID-19 outpatients on PTIC treatment. PTIC-bound LAIR1 had a similar affinity to collagen in M1 macrophages. It downregulated pSTAT1 in IFN-γ-induced M1. COVID-19 patients under PTIC treatment showed a significant decrease in Mo1 percentages and cytokines (IP-10/MIF/eotaxin/IL-8/IL-1RA/M-CSF) associated with STAT1 and an increase in the Mo2 subset. The inflammatory mediators and Mo1 downregulation were related to better oxygen saturation and decreased dyspnea, chest pain, cough, and chronic fatigue syndrome in the acute and long-term phase of infection. PTIC is an agonist of LAIR1 and downregulates STAT-1 phosphorylation. PTIC could be relevant for treating STAT1-mediated inflammatory diseases, including COVID-19 and long COVID. ©The authors ©MDPI.

    Background/aims: The evidence suggests that a shorter esophageal length (EL) in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients is associated with the presence of hiatal hernia (HH). However, there are no reports of this association in patients with achalasia. The aim is to (1) determine the prevalence of hiatal hernia in achalasia patients, (2) compare achalasia EL with GERD patients and healthy volunteers (HV), (3) measure achalasia manometric esophageal length to height (MELH) ratio, and (4) determine if there are differences in symptoms between patients with and without hiatal hernia. Methods: This retrospective and cross-sectional study consist of 87 pre-surgical achalasia patients, 22 GERD patients, and 30 HV. High-resolution manometry (HRM), barium swallow, and upper endoscopy were performed to diagnose HH. The EL and MELH ratio were measured by HRM. Symptoms were assessed with Eckardt, Eating Assessment Tool, and GERD-health-related quality of life questionnaires.
