BACKGROUND: There are regional differences in the effect of green space on mortality of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We conduct an ecological study, using the administrative divisions of Chongqing townships in China as the basic unit, to investigate the association between COPD mortality and green space based on data of 313,013 COPD deaths in Chongqing from 2012 to 2020. Green space is defined by Fractional vegetation cover (FVC), which is further calculated based on the normalised vegetation index (NDVI) from satellite remote sensing imagery maps...

INTRODUCTION: Air trapping is one of the main determinants of dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). An increase in air trapping leads to a change in the normal diaphragmatic configuration with associated functional impairment. Said deterioration improves with bronchodilator therapy. Chest ultrasound (CU) has been used to assess changes in diaphragmatic motility after short-acting bronchodilator therapy, but there are no previous studies on these changes after long-acting bronchodilator treatment...

The IL-36 cytokines are a recently described subset of the IL-1 family of cytokines, and have been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. Given the common aetiological links between COPD and lung cancer development, as well as the involvement of other IL-1 family members in lung tumorigenesis, the aim of this work was to investigate the role of IL-36 cytokines in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. In this study we demonstrate that expression of IL-36 cytokines and receptor mRNA and protein are significantly increased in lung cancer tissue compared to adjacent non-tumour tissue...

OBJECTIVE: The impact of COVID-19 infection still continues all over the world and is an important cause of mortality. The mortality rate due to infection varies between 1-5%. The mortality rate is higher in those with cardiovascular risk factors, especially in cases with hypertension. Some studies have shown that blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and albumin levels are associated with worse prognosis in patients with COVID-19. In our study, we aimed to investigate whether the BUN/albumin (BAR) ratio has an effect on in-hospital mortality in hypertensive COVID-19 patients...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common debilitating disorder that is the third most common cause of death globally. Chronic lower airway infection by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) in adults with COPD increases airway inflammation, causes increased symptoms, and accelerates progressive loss of lung function. Little is known about the mechanisms by which NTHi survives in COPD airways. To explore this question, the present study analyzes, in detail, 14 prospectively collected, serial isolates of a strain that persisted for 543 days in a patient with COPD, including analysis of four gap-free complete genomes...

Human airway smooth muscle (HASM) is the primary target of ßAR agonists used to control airway hypercontractility in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ßAR agonists induce the production of cAMP by adenylyl cyclases (ACs), activate PKA and cause bronchodilation. Several other G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) expressed in human airway smooth muscle cells transduce extracellular signals through cAMP but these receptors elicit different cellular responses. Some G-protein coupled receptors couple to distinct adenylyl cyclases isoforms with different localization, partly explaining this compartmentation, but little is known about the downstream networks that result...

Cigarette smoke exposure is a well-recognized causative factor for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the molecular mechanisms responsible for this effect need to be further investigated. An expanding number of studies suggest that m6A modification is involved in the progression of various diseases. Nevertheless, evidence on the regulatory function of m6A modification in human bronchial epithelial cells exposed to cigarette smoke is scarce. In this study, we investigated for the first time the effect of cigarette smoke exposure on contributing to high Mettl3 expression in HBE cells in vitro, an essential m6A writer...

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients experience a progressive limitation of their functionality accompanying their clinical evolution. Concretely, severe COPD patients usually require the figure of a caregiver. Caregiver burden have been yet explored in other similar chronic diseases. The objective is to propose a cut-off point in different functional impairment aspects, to predict the presence of caregiver burden. METHODS: Severe COPD patients were divided into two groups according to the caregiver burden, measured with the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI)...

INTRODUCTION: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) seropositivity has been recently linked to severity and progression of asthma, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To date, no longitudinal study has addressed the relation of CMV serology to levels and decline of lung function in the general adult population. METHODS: We evaluated 403 participants from the Tucson Epidemiological Study of Airway Obstructive Disease (TESAOD) who at enrollment were aged 28-55 years and completed lung function tests...

BACKGROUND: Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) have unclear impacts on emphysema measurement using computed tomography (CT)-derived 15th percentile lung density (PD15). The aim of this study was to assess the influence of AECOPD on PD15 lung density in α1 -antitrypsin deficiency. METHODS: In a post hoc analysi s of the RAPID (Randomised Trial of Augmentation Therapy in α1 -Proteinase Inhibitor Deficiency) trial, raw marginal residuals of PD15 (measured - predicted) were determined by fitting a regression line to individual patient CT data...

BACKGROUND: While clinical decision rules have been developed to evaluate exacerbations and decisions on hospitalisation and discharge in emergency departments (EDs) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), these rules are not widely used in EDs. In this study, we compare the predictive efficacy of the Ottawa Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Risk Scale (OCRS) and the Dyspnea, Eosinopenia, Consolidation, Acidemia, and Atrial Fibrillation (DECAF) score in estimating the short-term poor outcome of patients in our ED with exacerbations of COPD...

Large-scale epidemiological studies suggest that veterans may have poorer physical health than nonveterans, but this has been largely unexamined in post-9/11 veterans despite research indicating their high levels of disability and healthcare utilization. Additionally, little investigation has been conducted on sex-based differences and interactions by veteran status. Notably, few studies have explored veteran physical health in relation to national health guidelines. Self-reported, weighted data were analyzed on post-9/11 U...

BACKGROUND: Maximal mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) is an earlier predictor of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development than forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1 ). Changes of lung structure in patients with MMEF impairment only is still not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the structural features of patients with decreased MMEF by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and develop a predictive model for predicting patients with reduced MMEF in normal lung function population...

Assessing changes in functional exercise capacity is highly relevant in the treatment of people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), as lung function is often static. In Denmark, most people with COPD are followed in general practice where traditional functional tests, like six-minute walk test, require too much time and space. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a quick functional exercise capacity test that can be performed in a limited setting, such as general practice. This study aimed to identify a quick test to measure functional exercise capacity in people with COPD and identify which factors could affect the implementation of such a test in general practice...
