Comparison of High-Flow Nasal Cannula with Conventional Oxygen Therapy in Patients with Hypercapnic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) compared with conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in patients with hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO), respiratory rate (RR), treatment failure, exacerbation rates, adverse events and comfort evaluation.

Patients And Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were retrieved from inception to September 30, 2022. Eligible trials were randomized controlled trials and crossover studies comparing HFNC and COT in hypercapnic COPD patients.

Associative analysis of multi-omics data indicates that acetylation modification is widely involved in cigarette smoke-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

We aimed to study the molecular mechanisms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) caused by cigarette smoke more comprehensively and systematically through different perspectives and aspects and to explore the role of protein acetylation modification in COPD. We established the COPD model by exposing C57BL/6J mice to cigarette smoke for 24 weeks, then analyzed the transcriptomics, proteomics, and acetylomics data of mouse lung tissue by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and associated these omics data through unique algorithms. This study demonstrated that the differentially expressed proteins and acetylation modification in the lung tissue of COPD mice were co-enriched in pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and fatty acid degradation.
