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 interferon- gamma ...... hiện toàn bộ

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
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

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 after B. vietnamiensis chronic colonization/infection. A 33 yo male patient had diagnosis of CF by 7 yo, after recurrent pneumonia during infancy...... hiện toàn bộ
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), chronic bronchi...... hiện toàn bộ

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
