Chinese medicine Phragmites communis (Lu Gen) for acute respiratory tract infections: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Conclusion: Low- or very low-certainty evidence suggests that P. communis preparations may improve the cure rate of ARTIs, shorten the fever clearance time in febrile patients, and improve the pulmonary function of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or chronic bronchitis. However, these findings are inconclusive and need to be confirmed in rigorously designed trials.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO, identifier CRD42021239936 (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Combined association of urinary volatile organic compounds with chronic bronchitis and emphysema among adults in NHANES 2011-2014: The mediating role of inflammation
This study demonstrated that exposure to VOCs was associated with CB and emphysema independently and combinedly, which might be partly speculated that VOCs were linked to activated inflammations. Our findings shed novel light on VOCs related respiratory illness, and provide a new basis for the contribution of certain VOCs to the risk of CB and emphysema, which has potential public health implications.PMID:38438022 | DOI:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141485 (Source: Chemosphere)

Describing differences among populations of thoracic tumors patients under and over 80 years: Data analysis from the SLCG thoracic tumor registry
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), lung cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide in both sexes (accounting for 11.4 % of all cancers) and the first in terms of mortality (18 % of cancer deaths). The top five causes of death in high-income countries are heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, pneumonia, and asthma/bronchitis. Due to its high mortality rate, lung cancer is considered a significant public health co ncern. (Source: Lung Cancer)

Effects of occupational exposure to dust, gas, vapor and fumes on chronic bronchitis and lung function
CONCLUSIONS: VGDF exposure is associated with chronic bronchitis, respiratory symptoms and decreased lung function, suggesting that VGDF contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of COPD.PMID:38410603 | PMC:PMC10894404 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-646 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
