Left ventricular (LV) filling impairment is present in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airflow obstruction is related to reduced LV end-diastolic volume, stroke volume, and cardiac output. The ratio of peak early diastolic filling velocity of the mitral inflow to peak early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus (E/e'), an echocardiographic parameter, can be applied as a surrogate marker of LV filling pressures. Forty-seven individuals with suspected COPD underwent pulmonary function tests and echocardiography. The ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1s to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) and the E/e' ratio were determined. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the FEV1/FVC ratio (β=0.01; 95% confidence interval, 0.001-0.019; p=0.036) independently predicted the log transformed E/e' ratio. An increase of FEV1/FVC ratio (in percentage) by 1 unit was associated with an increase of the E/e' ratio multiplied by 1.01. Airflow obstruction inversely predicts LV filling pressure in suspected COPD cases.

Tuberculosis (TB) significantly increases the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), positioning TB-associated COPD (TB-COPD) as a distinct category within the spectrum of respiratory diseases prevalent, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This condition results from the body's immune response to TB, leading to prolonged inflammation and consequent persistent lung damage. Diagnostic approaches, particularly post-bronchodilator spirometry, are vital for identifying airflow obstruction and confirming TB-COPD.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a challenging respiratory condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation and progressive lung function decline. The identification of robust biomarkers is crucial for early diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and guiding therapeutic strategies.
Methods: In this study, we employed a comprehensive bioinformatics approach utilizing multiple Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets to identify potential COPD biomarkers.
Background: Although small airway disease has been recognized as a major contributor to obstructive respiratory diseases, the association between occupational endotoxin exposure and small airway disease, as characterized by CT scans, requires further investigation.
Research Question: What is the association between occupational endotoxin exposure and small airway disease, and which CT imaging biomarkers effectively detect pre-clinical airway dysfunction?
Study Design And Methods: This study includes 404 subjects from the Shanghai Textile Worker Cohort. We collected longitudinal inspiratory/expiratory CT scans, spirometry data, and endotoxin levels in 2011 and 2016.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive airflow obstruction and destruction of lung tissue, primarily attributed to tobacco smoking. However, other factors like biomass-burning smoke (BS) exposure are also implicated. COPD has been described as an accelerated aging disease, and telomere length is a biomarker of aging.

Purpose: Pulmonary MRI faces challenges due to low proton density, rapid transverse magnetization decay, and cardiac and respiratory motion. The fermat-looped orthogonally encoded trajectories (FLORET) sequence addresses these issues with high sampling efficiency, strong signal, and motion robustness, but has not yet been applied to phase-resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI-a contrast-free method for assessing pulmonary ventilation during free breathing. This study aims to develop a reconstruction pipeline for FLORET UTE, enhancing spatial resolution for three-dimensional (3D) PREFUL ventilation analysis.
