Impact of emphysema heterogeneity on pulmonary function. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
To investigate the association between emphysema heterogeneity in spatial distribution, pulmonary function and disease severity.We ascertained a dataset of anonymized Computed Tomography (CT) examinations acquired on 565 participants in a COPD study ...

A General High‐Throughput Mucus Microrheology Platform for Quantitative and Scalable Mucus Phenotyping

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐throughput Differential Dynamic Microscopy measures frequency‐resolved mechanical fingerprints from 3 to 10 μL$\umu{\rm L}$ mucus samples using only a few minutes of operator attention per sample. This automated analysis enables scalable mucus phenotyping for translational research by distinguishing mechanical heterogeneity among donors, disease ...

Chronic Pulmonary Emphysema

open access: yesPostgraduate Medicine, 1956
Patients with chronic pulmonary emphysema were analyzed on clinical and morphological standpoints. Pulmonary function tests and selective alveolobronchography were used for this study. Significant differences in two types of clinical features of chronic pulmonary emphysema were demonstrated on one aspect, and remarkable overlapping of alveolar and ...

Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: Pulmonary Function Testing and a Pathophysiology Perspective

open access: yesMedicina, 2019
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 ...

ACAT1‐Mediated SP1‐K694 Lactylation Promotes M1 Macrophage Polarization via TREM1 Transcription in COPD

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon cigarette smoke exposure(CSE), LDHA expression is increased in lung macrophages, promoting the conversion of pyruvate to lactate and elevating the lactylation level of SP1 at the K694 site. This, in turn, enhances SP1 enrichment at the TREM1 promoter, increases TREM1 expression, promoted M1 macrophage polarization, and triggers the secretion of ...

Effects of pirbuterol and sodium nitroprusside on pulmonary haemodynamics in hypoxic cor pulmonale [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
The acute haemodynamic effects of oral pirbuterol (a beta-agonist) were contrasted with those of sodium nitroprusside, a vasodilator, in six patients with hypoxic chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Carboxymethyl Chitosan Modified Oxymatrine Liposomes for the Alleviation of Emphysema in Mice via Pulmonary Administration

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Pulmonary emphysema is a fatal lung disease caused by the progressive thinning, enlargement and destruction of alveoli that is closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress.

Targeting Kynurenine Synthesis Attenuated Cigarette Smoke‐Induced COPD‐Like Lung Injury Driven by TALDO1‐Mediated Metabolic Reprogramming

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cigarette smoke induces airway epithelial TALDO1 upregulation and L‐kynurenine accumulation, driving mitochondrial injury with elevated mtROS, reduced Δψm, ATP, and OCR. This links to lung inflammation, alveolar destruction, and lung function damage, all attenuated by Epacadostat or Taldo1 reduction.
