A formula for predicting emphysema extent in combined idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema

Respiratory Research
Background No single pulmonary function test captures the functional effect of emphysema in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Without experienced radiologists, other methods are needed to determine emphysema extent. Here, we report the development and

Emphysema

, 2020
Emphysema (Greek word meaning to inflate/to blow) is an increase in the size of airspace distal to the terminal bronchiolus, that is, hyperinflation of the alveoli due to the destruction of the gas-exchanging structures: alveolar walls, alveolar ducts, and respiratory bronchioles with coalescence of airspaces into the abnormal, much larger airspaces ...

Expression of SARS‐CoV‐2 entry‐associated proteins in COPD airways: an immunohistochemical study

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is of special concern to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), given their susceptibility to exacerbations caused by respiratory tract infections. As the susceptibility of acquiring a SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in COPD remains unclear, this study explored the airway expression of SARS‐CoV‐2 ...

Role of Dual-Specificity Phosphatase 1 in Glucocorticoid-Driven Anti-inflammatory Responses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Glucocorticoids (GCs) potently inhibit pro-inflammatory responses and are widely used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as allergies, autoimmune disorders, and asthma. Dual-specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), also known as mitogen-activated
