New Spirometry Indices for Detecting Mild Airflow Obstruction. [PDF]

, 2018
The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relies on demonstration of airflow obstruction. Traditional spirometric indices miss a number of subjects with respiratory symptoms or structural lung disease on imaging.

Genetic polymorphism in matrix metalloproteinase-9 and transforming growth factor-β1 and susceptibility to combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema in a Chinese population

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017
In this study, we aimed to explore the association of genetic polymorphism in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and the susceptibility to combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE).

Protective effect of Galectin-9 in murine model of lung emphysema: Involvement of neutrophil migration and MMP-9 production. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by irreversible airflow obstruction and pulmonary emphysema. Persistent inflammation and remodeling of the lungs and airways result in reduced lung function and a lower quality of life ...

A diffuse lung emphysema, severe pulmonary hypertension and lack of airflow limitation

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2017
Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease is characterized by remodeling of pulmonary arteries, capillaries and venules. We report a case of diffuse lung emphysema and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease with the characteristic of having no airflow limitation.

An increased risk of pulmonary hypertension in patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema: a meta-analysis

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background and aim Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). Whether the incidence of PH is increased in CPFE compared with pure pulmonary fibrosis or emphysema remains unclear.
