Background Generally, structural destruction of lung parenchyma, such as pulmonary emphysema, is considered to be related to the low diagnostic yields and high complication rates of lung biopsies of peripheral lung lesions.

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) has been increasingly recognized over the past 10−15 years as a clinical entity characterized by rather severe imaging and gas exchange abnormalities, but often only mild impairment in spirometric ...

A Low Peripheral Blood CD4/CD8 Ratio Is Associated with Pulmonary Emphysema in HIV. [PDF]
The prevalence of emphysema is higher among HIV-infected (HIV+) individuals compared to HIV-uninfected persons. While greater tobacco use contributes, HIV-related effects on immunity likely confer additional risk.

Introduction Pulmonary emphysema is a major component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Emphysema progression attributed not only to alveolar structure loss and pulmonary regeneration impairment, but also to excessive inflammatory response,

Deaccelerated Myogenesis and Autophagy in Genetically Induced Pulmonary Emphysema. [PDF]
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-pulmonary emphysema often develop locomotor muscle dysfunction, which entails reduced muscle mass and force-generation capacity and is associated with worse outcomes including higher mortality ...

Reversal of emphysema by restoration of pulmonary endothelial cells
We tested the role of endothelial dysfunction in the development of COPD/emphysema. We found that restoration of lung endothelial cells and blockade of endothelial-derived leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein perturbs the pathogenesis of COPD/emphysema.

CT Assessment of Subtypes of Pulmonary Emphysema in Mongolian Miners
Objectives: To determine the incidence of subtypes of pulmonary emphysema identified by LDCT imaging and the relationship between emphysema subtypes with smoking and pulmonary function in miners.
