One forth whole-world population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Mtb), but 90% of them are asymptotic latent infection without any symptoms but
positive result in IFN-γ release assay. There is lack of ideal strategy to
distinguish active tuberculosis (TB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
Some scientist had focused on a set of cytokines as biomarkers besides

Relationship between the expression of ARHGAP25 and RhoA in non-small cell lung cancer and vasculogenic mimicrySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 1-14 - 2022

Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is a recently identified pattern of blood supply to
tumor tissue. It has long been considered a functional element in the metastasis
and prognosis of malignant tumors. Both Rho GTPase-activating protein 25
(ARHGAP25) and Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) are effective predictors of
tumor metastasis. In this study, we examined the expression levels of ARHGAP25
and RhoA an... hiện toàn bộ

Burkholderia cepacia complex is a group of opportunistic pathogens in cystic
fibrosis (CF) patients believed to be associated with poor prognosis and
patient-to-patient transmissibility. Little is known about clinical outcomes

The accuracy of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy compared to fluoroscopy in navigation of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in patients with interstitial lung diseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2024

Safely implementing transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) in patients with
interstitial lung disease (ILD) requires accurate navigation. Traditional
fluoroscopy falls short in reducing the risk of post-procedure pneumothorax. The
potential of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) as a more precise
navigation method warrants further exploration. A prospective cohort study was
conducted on I... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background The tracheobronchomalacia is a life-threatening complication
of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) without known effective, optimal treatment. The
severe expiratory collapse of the trachea and bronchi is one of causes of the
high rate of deaths in the course of airway impairment in MPSII patients. Case
presentation Due to the adynamic tracheobronchomalacia despite of enzymatic

Cockroach exposure and perceived stress interact to predict clinical outcomes in childhood asthmaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1-8 - 2021

Nonpharmacologic interventions for asthma management rely on identification and
mitigation of important asthma triggers. Cockroach exposure is strongly
associated with asthma morbidity. It is also associated with stress, another
risk factor for asthma. Despite high prevalence of both in vulnerable
populations, the impact of joint exposure has not been examined. Participants
included 173 children w... hiện toàn bộ
Patterns of inflammation and the use of reversibility testing in smokers with airway complaintsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-7 - 2006

Although both smoking and respiratory complaints are very common, tools to
improve diagnostic accuracy are scarce in primary care. This study aimed to
reveal what inflammatory patterns prevail in clinically established diagnosis
groups, and what factors are associated with eosinophilia. Induced sputum and
blood plasma of 59 primary care patients with COPD (n = 17), asthma (n = 11),

The long-term exercise tolerance changes in patients with nontuberculous
mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) are of great interest because of its
chronic course. This study aimed to characterize the associations between
changes over time in six-minute walking test (6MWT) parameters and clinical
parameters in patients with NTM-PD. Overall, 188 patients with NTM-PD, visiting
outpatient clinics ... hiện toàn bộ
