C-reactive protein in outpatients with acute exacerbation of COPD: its relationship with microbial etiology and severity C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement has proven valuable for detecting exacerbations, but its usefulness in predicting etiology remains controversial. Like... G Miguel,P Xavier,C Sil...
It is well known that oxidant-antioxidant imbalance plays a key role in the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).To examine the role of altered levels of oxidant-antioxidants in disease severity of COPD and correlate it with the degree of airflow obstruction.We assessed ...
PPMs can cause inflammation and have a significant correlation with the exacerbation frequency and severity of COPD [6,7,8]. Moreover, respiratory viral infection, especially rhinovirus, is one of the causes of acute exacerbations of COPD. In rhinovirus infections, subsequent bacterial infection is...
Low levels of serum CC16 were associated with decline in FEV1 in COPD subjects (ECLIPSE and Lung Health study) [13,14,15,16]. Although no significant correlations could be found between serum CC16 levels and COPD severity stratified by FEV1 values [15], CC16 expression in the airway was...
evaluation(rs=0.564,P0.05);there was no correlation between serum hs-CRP and PCT(P0.05).Conclusion:Hs-CRP and PCT are significantly increased in patients with AECOPD,and has a certain relationship with the severity of the disease,which may be an indicator of clinical evaluation of AECOPD ...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent airflow limitation, the severity of which is assessed using forced expiratory v... Pierre-Régis Burgel,Jean-Louis Paillasseur,N Roche - 《Biomed Res Int》 被引量: 43发表: 2015年 Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 blood l...
Levels increase in induced sputum of COPD patients as the number of exacerbations increases.11 The proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 may play an important role in the progression of COPD severity,12 and increased serum levels of IL-6 during COPD exacerbations have been described.13 However, ...
Objective: To investigate the function of interleukin-33 (IL-33) in the asthmatic airway remodeling and the relationship between IL-33 and asthma severity... Z Guo,J Wu,J Zhao,... - 《Journal of Asthma Research》 被引量: 66发表: 2014年 Alternative splicing of interleukin-33 and type 2...
Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is used to evaluate the severity of inflammation in the airways. The aim of this study was to evaluate patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for the presence of upper respiratory tract involvement by questioning patients regarding nasal symptoms and by mea...
