Objective: To investigate the changes of pulmonary functions in children with segmental Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP).
Methods: A total of 55 children with SMPP were recruited into this study. Pulmonary functions were measured at both acute and recovery phases, including FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF, FEF25%, FEF50%, FEF75% and FEF25%-75%.
Results: FVC, FEV1, FEV1 /FVC, PEF, FEF25%, FEF50%, FEF75%, and FEF25%-75% were reduced in all of the 55 cases at the acute phase. FEF25%, FEF50%, FEF75% and FEF25%-75% decreased more significantly. The indexes above mentioned were improved significantly at the recovery phase compared with the acute phase (P<0.05). During the acute phase FVC and FEV1 decreased more significantly in the group with multiple area lesions than in the group with single area lesions (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Both large and small airway functions are damaged in different degrees in children with SMPP during the acute phase. More cases show restrictive ventilatory disorders and the injury of small airway function is more severe. The pulmonary function is markedly improved at the recovery phase, suggesting that the pulmonary function impairments are reversible. The pulmonary function impairments are more severe in children with multiple area lesions.

Assessing the short-term hematological and pulmonary effects of air pollution: a cross-sectional study in a Turkish urban setting.

Department of Family Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Erzincan Binali Yildirim University, Erzincan, 24100, Turkey.
Background: Air pollution has become a significant global public health concern, with evidence linking it to various adverse health outcomes, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. While numerous studies have investigated the effects of these particulate and gaseous pollutants on both healthy individuals and patients, further research is needed to clarify the short-term hematological and pulmonary responses in individuals without underlying health conditions. This study aims to explore the relationship between air quality, hematological parameters, and pulmonary function in a healthy population in Turkey.

Objective: Currently, there has been no gold standard for diagnosing small airway dysfunction (SAdf). This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between small airway parameters derived from spirometry and oscillometry in hospitalized patients, assessing the potential of oscillometry as an alternative diagnostic tool for SAdf. Additionally, this study explored the inconsistencies and influencing factors related to spirometry and oscillometry in diagnosing SAdf, conducting a preliminary assessment of these factors.

Article Synopsis
- Cutis laxa is a group of connective tissue diseases that can be inherited or acquired, leading to loose skin and potential lung complications, though the specifics of pulmonary issues are not well understood.
- A 36-year-old woman with a lifelong diagnosis of cutis laxa showed severe lung impairment and unusual pulmonary function test results, along with abnormal CT scan findings but no typical signs of emphysema.
- Genetic analysis revealed a variant in the elastin gene linked to her pulmonary issues, and over eight years, her lung function continued to decline despite stable CT images, indicating progressive small airway disease.

To analyze the clinical features and risk factors of chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA) in children, so as to provide basis for the prevention and management of the disease. A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze 178 children aged 6-17 years old who were admitted to the Department of Allergy, Capital Institute of Pediatrics Affiliated Children's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 due to chest tightness. The age was 8.

Objective: To investigate the clinical utility of small airway function indices for early identification of GOLD stage 0 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 137 participants at our institution between January 2017 and December 2018, comprising 40 healthy controls, 46 individuals with GOLD stage 0 COPD, and 51 patients with established COPD. Pulmonary function was assessed using the PowerCube spirometry system (GANSHORN, Germany).
