[Correlation between dyslipidemia and rheumatoid arthritis associated interstitial lung disease].

Objective: To study the correlation between dyslipidemia and rheumatoid arthritis associa-ted interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) by retrospective analysis of the clinical data.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who were hospitalized in the Department of Rheumatism and Immunology of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from January 2015 to July 2020 and fulfilled the criteria of the 2010 Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria established by American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism collaborative initiative, were collected and analyzed.

LncRNA TUG1 promotes pulmonary fibrosis progression via up-regulating CDC27 and activating PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease with an unclear pathogenesis. This study aimed to elucidate the function and potential mechanisms of TUG1 in IPF progression. Cell viability and migration were detected by CCK-8 and transwell assays.
