Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with emphysema: evidence of synergy among emphysema and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in smokers.
BACKGROUND Emphysema and fibrosis, typically the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) form of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), can co-exist as combined pulmonary fibrosis emphysema (CPFE). It is unknown whether there is a pathobiologic basis for CPFE beyond the coexistence of fibrosis and emphysema. The aim of this study was to ascertain radiologic differences in severity of fibrosis and emph...
متن کاملAnnual decline of lung function in pulmonary emphysema: influence of radiological distribution.
Fifty-six male patients with pulmonary emphysema and normal serum alpha 1-antitrypsin were followed for a minimum period of three years (range 3-13 yr) to observe the effects of the radiological distribution of emphysema on the annual rate of change of lung function indices. The subjects were placed in three categories--upper zone (UZ), lower zone (LZ), and generalised (G). The influence of smo...
متن کاملComprehensive genomic profiling of the lung transcriptome in emphysema and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis using RNA-Seq
Methods 87 LGRC lung tissue samples were sequenced on the Illumina GAIIx, generating 75 nt paired-end reads and approximately 30-40 million reads per sample. Using gapped aligner Tophat, an average of 85% of reads aligned to hg19. Gene expression was quantified using Cufflinks and Ensembl59 known gene annotation (n = 24,249 genes). All lung tissue samples used in this study, as well as addition...
متن کاملThe effects of pneumoperitoneum on lung function in pulmonary emphysema.
The treatment of chronic hypertrophic emphysema by pneumoperitoneum has received much favourable comment in recent medical literature. In several reports on small series of cases it is claimed that this manceuvre will increase vital capacity (Brackenridge and Jones, 1953; Furman and Callaway, 1950; Gaensler and Carter, 1950; Zak and Southwell, 1953),maximum breathing capacity (Gaensler and Cart...
متن کاملREPORT OF FOUR CASES OF FAMILIAL IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS
A 25 year old male and his 46 year old aunt presented with shortness of breath and a dramatic response to steroids. The other two patients are sisters with more advanced disease. One of these responded partially to steroids, while the other died within 4 months of treatment. The genetic basis and pathogenesis are discussed.
