Pulmonary Imaging Biomarkers of Gas Trapping and Emphysema in COPD: (3)He MR Imaging and CT Parametric Response Maps.

Radiology, 2016
PURPOSE To directly compare magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT) parametric response map (PRM) measurements of gas trapping and emphysema in ex-smokers both with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD ...

Dose‐dependent association of systemic comorbidities with periodontitis severity: A large population cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To examine whether the associations between periodontitis and multiple systemic conditions increase with increasing severity of periodontitis using a multi‐center electronic health record (EHR) repository. Methods A cross‐sectional analysis was conducted using EHR data from 9 dental schools in the United States.

Pulmonary Vascular Volume by Quantitative CT in Dyspneic Smokers with Minor Emphysema

COPD, 2023
Reduced lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at rest and increased ventilation (⩒E)-carbon dioxide output (⩒CO2) during exercise are frequent findings in dyspneic smokers with largely preserved FEV1.

Relationship between plasma matrix metalloproteinase levels, pulmonary function, bronchodilator response, and emphysema severity

International Journal of COPD, 2016
Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by chronic inflammation in the airway and lung. A protease–antiprotease imbalance has been suggested as a possible pathogenic mechanism for COPD.

Oxymatrine Inhibits Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition to Alleviate Airway Remodeling in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Suppressing the TGF‐β1/Smad Pathway

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of oxymatrine (OMT, C15H24N2O2) in a murine model of cigarette smoke (CS)‐induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. A COPD model was established in mice through prolonged exposure to CS, followed by intraperitoneal administration of OMT (50 mg/kg)

Potential Biomarkers for Disease Stratification and Prognosis Prediction in Pediatric Asthma: LCN2, sST2 and FGF21

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease, where accurate assessment of disease severity and prognosis prediction is crucial for treatment decisions. Currently, there is a lack of precise and effective biomarkers.

Towards Comprehensive Chronic Disease Control: Prevention, Early Detection, and Integrated Management

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic non‐communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory conditions, represent the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This review examines comprehensive strategies across the continuum of care (from primary prevention and early screening to timely diagnosis ...

Deep Learning Reconstruction for 129Xe Diffusion‐Weighted MRI Enables Use of Natural Abundant Xenon and Improved Image Acceleration

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose (i) To assess whether 129Xe apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and diffusive length scale (LmD) metrics are quantitatively preserved with deep learning (DL) accelerated acquisition and reconstruction and (ii) to evaluate the feasibility of 129Xe diffusion weighted imaging with natural‐abundance xenon at increased acceleration factors.

Age‐Dependent Correlation of Pulmonary Function Impairment and Aortic Arch Stiffness in Mice

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
This study examined the relationship between aortic arch stiffness and lung function in aging mice. Multiple linear regression modeling showed moderate to strong correlations between the rise in aortic arch stiffness and changes in lung function as the mice progressively aged.
