Expression of HSP47 in Usual Interstitial Pneumonia and Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia [PDF]
Abstract Background Heat shock protein (HSP) 47, a collagen-specific molecular chaperone, is involved in the processing and/or secretion of procollagens, and its expression is increased in various fibrotic diseases.

Usual interstitial pneumonia coexisted with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, What’s the diagnosis? [PDF]
Abstract The differential diagnosis between idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia(INSIP) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)/usual interstitial pneumonia(UIP)is tough in both clinicians and pathologists. In this study, we analyzed the lesions of right lung removed from a 58-year-old patient by gross and microscopy.

Auscultation of Velcro Crackles is Associated With Usual Interstitial Pneumonia [PDF]
Auscultation of Velcro crackles has been proposed as a key finding in physical lung examination in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), especially in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, no studies have been carried out to assess the association of Velcro crackles with other clinical variables.We evaluated a cohort of 132 patients,

Usual interstitial pneumonia: typical, possible, and “inconsistent” patterns [PDF]
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a severe and progressive chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease, a definitive diagnosis being established by specific combinations of clinical, radiological, and pathological findings. According to current international guidelines, HRCT plays a key role in establishing a diagnosis of usual interstitial ...

Clinical diagnosis of patients subjected to surgical lung biopsy with a probable usual interstitial pneumonia pattern on high-resolution computed tomography [PDF]
Background Usual interstitial pneumonia can present with a probable pattern on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), but the probability of identifying usual interstitial pneumonia by surgical lung biopsy in such cases remains controversial.

Acute exacerbation of pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis with lower lobe usual interstitial pneumonia: An autopsy case. [PDF]
An 87-year-old man presented with dyspnea. Computed tomography revealed progressive subpleural consolidation in the apex, reticular shadows in the lower lobes, and bilateral ground glass opacifications. He died of respiratory failure on day 3.

CT-based lung motion differences in patients with usual interstitial pneumonia and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. [PDF]
We applied quantitative CT image matching to assess the degree of motion in the idiopathic ILD such as usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). Twenty-one normal subjects and 42 idiopathic ILD (31 UIP and 11 NSIP)

Progress of Anticancer Drug-induced Organizing Pneumonia [PDF]
Drug-induced lung injury has received more and more attention. The most common pattern is interstitial lung disease. The diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DIILD) have been explored in many researches.
