Blood transcriptomic predicts progression of pulmonary fibrosis and associates natural killer cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Rationale: Disease activity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remains highly variable, poorly understood, and difficult to predict. Objective: To identify a predictor using short-term longitudinal changes in gene-expression that forecasts future ...

Validation of gene editing efficiency with CRISPR-Cas9 system directly in rat zygotes using electroporation mediated delivery and embryo culture

open access: yesMethodsX, 2021
Successful use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for gene manipulation relies on identifying effective and efficient guide RNA sequences (gRNAs). When the goal is to create transgenic animal/rodent models by knocking-in desired sequences using homology-directed ...

Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesChest, 1986
The study of animal models of IPF has demonstrated that there is a stereotyped response of the respiratory airspace walls to a wide variety of injuries. Inflammatory and immune effector cells play a major and complex role in the fibrosing process. They may contribute to the injury of the lung beyond the original insult.

Differential Item Functioning on the Patient Health Questionnaire 8 by Disease Subtype, Language, Sex, and Age Among People With Systemic Sclerosis: A Scleroderma Patient‐Centered Intervention Network Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Somatic items used in depression assessments can potentially overlap with symptoms related to physical illness, including systemic sclerosis (SSc). No studies have looked at whether somatic depression items may be influenced by diffuse versus limited SSc disease subtypes, which are associated with varying degrees of symptom presentation.

Downregulation of HMGCS2 mediated AECIIs lipid metabolic alteration promotes pulmonary fibrosis by activating fibroblasts

open access: yesRespiratory Research
Background Abnormal lipid metabolism has recently been reported as a crucial signature of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the origin and biological function of the lipid and possible mechanisms of increased lipid content in the pathogenesis

How personality influences health outcomes and quality of life in adult patients with cystic fibrosis

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background The present study evaluates personality traits in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and correlates these results with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and other clinical parameters indicative of disease severity.
