Current concepts on oxidative/carbonyl stress, inflammation and epigenetics in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem, and current therapy for COPD is poorly effective and the mainstays of pharmacotherapy are bronchodilators.

Gas Bubbles from Biodegradable Magnesium Implants Convey Mechanical Cues and Promote Immune Cell Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bubbles in soft tissue are the unavoidable consequence of magnesium implant degradation in patients, yet their biological significance remains unclear. Using advanced imaging and spatial transcriptomics, this study reveals a pronounced inflammatory and mechanical response near bubbles, contrasting with pro‐regenerative events closer to the implant ...

Autocrine insulin-like growth factor 2 signaling as a potential target in the associated development of pulmonary emphysema and cancer in smokers

open access: yesInflammation and Regeneration
Background Tobacco smoking causes pulmonary inflammation, resulting in emphysema, an independent risk factor for lung cancer. Induction of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) in response to lung injury by tobacco carcinogens, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3 ...

PD-L1, FGFR1, PIK3CA, PTEN, and p16 expression in pulmonary emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with resected lung squamous cell carcinoma

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background Emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are well known independent risk factors for lung cancer. However, the developmental mechanisms between emphysema/COPD and lung cancer remain unknown.

Lung Volume Reduction Coil Treatment vs Usual Care in Patients With Severe Emphysema: The REVOLENS Randomized Clinical Trial.

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2016
IMPORTANCE Therapeutic options for severe emphysema are limited. Lung volume reduction using nitinol coils is a bronchoscopic intervention inducing regional parenchymal volume reduction and restoring lung recoil.

Diagnosis of necrotic and non‐necrotic small bowel strangulation: The importance of intestinal congestion

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
CT of 141 patients with small bowel strangulation (SBS) was reviewed. Mesenteric edema and abnormal bowel wall thickening are prevalent in both non‐necrotic and necrotic SBS, indicating the primary pathology of SBS. While bowel hypo‐enhancement was detected in 76% of patients with necrotic SBS, it appeared in only 51% of those with non‐necrotic SBS ...

Relationship between diffusion capacity and small airway abnormality in COPDGene. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Impaired single breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) is associated with emphysema. Small airways disease (SAD) may be a precursor lesion to emphysema, but the relationship between SAD and DLCO is undescribed. We hypothesized that in mild COPD,

Basophils trigger emphysema development in a murine model of COPD through IL-4–mediated generation of MMP-12–producing macrophages

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has generally been considered a non-Th2-type lung disease, in contrast to allergic asthma. We identified unexpected roles for basophils, Th2 cytokine IL-4, and interstitial macrophages in triggering ...

Peripheral Biomarker Signatures in Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with RA, yet effective risk stratification for RA‐ILD is lacking. We sought to characterize unique peripheral blood biomarker signatures in RA that could improve RA‐ILD discrimination beyond clinical and genetic ...
