Lung Tissue Multi-Layer Network Analysis Uncovers the Molecular Heterogeneity of COPD
CONCLUSIONS: A novel multi-layer network analysis is able to identify clinically relevant COPD patient communities. Patients with similarly low FEV1 and emphysema can have molecularly distinct small airways and immune response patterns, indicating that different endotypes can lead to similar clinical presentation.PMID:38626356 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202303-0500OC (Source: American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine)

Revisiting airway epithelial dysfunction and mechanisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Role of mitochondrial damage
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1152/ajplung.00362.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic exposure to environmental hazards causes airway epithelial dysfunction, primarily impaired physical barriers, immune dysfunction, and repair or regeneration. Impairment of airway epithelial function subsequently leads to exaggerated airway inflammation and remodeling, the main features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mitochondrial damage has been identified as one of the mechanisms of airway abnormalities in COPD, which is closely related to airway inflammation and airflow limitation. In ...

Alleviatory Role of < em > Panax Notoginseng < /em > Saponins in Modulating Inflammation and Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: mechanisms and Implications
This study delves into the therapeutic potential and mechanistic underpinnings of Panax notoginseng Saponins (PNS) in alleviating inflammation and pulmonary vascular remodeling in a COPD rat model. Symmap and ETCM databases provided Panax notoginseng-related target genes, and the CTD and DisGeNET databases provided COPD-related genes. Intersection genes were subjected to protein-protein interaction analysis and pathway enrichment to identify downstream pathways. A COPD rat model was established, with groups receiving varying doses of PNS and a Roxithromycin control. The pathological changes in lung tissue and vasculature w...

Telephone Support for Copd Patients During COVID-19
Open Respir Arch. 2020 Jul-Sep;2(3):179-185. doi: 10.1016/j.opresp.2020.05.009. Epub 2020 Aug 17.ABSTRACTThe state of alarm declared by the Spanish government as the main measure for preventing contagion has involved a change in the clinical management of chronic patients. Although new communication technologies offer us many ways to establish direct but remote contact, the peculiarities of the COPD patient often mean that their healthcare is reduced to telephone calls. The challenge of caring for COPD patients is made even more complex when it has to be delivered over the phone. The interview must be conducted without exa...
