Objective: To investigate the 1-year survival in cardiac surgical patients with lung disease, including previously undiagnosed cases.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary hospital.
Participants: Patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Interventions: None.
Measurements And Main Results: Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed in 454 patients before surgery. Abnormal respiratory patterns were defined as follows: obstructive (forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity <0.70), restrictive (forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity ≥0.70 and forced vital capacity <80% of predicted), and mixed. Overall 1-year mortality was 3.3%. Among 31 patients with documented chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), mortality was 9.6%, hazard ratio (HR) 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-12.80, p = 0.04. Of 423 patients without history of COPD, 57 obstructive, 46 restrictive, and 4 mixed abnormal patterns were identified. Of a total of 72 with obstructive lung disease confirmed by PFT (ie, 15 of COPD patients and 57 newly identified cases), 6.9% died, HR 2.75, 95% CI 0.98-8.07, p = 0.06. When combined with cases of COPD where a respiratory abnormality was confirmed (26 patients), newly diagnosed obstructive lung disease (57 patients) was significantly associated with 1-year mortality, HR 4.13, 95% CI 1.50-11.42, p = 0.006. The adjustment for EuroSCORE II did not change the results.
Conclusions: Combination of confirmed preexisting lung disease and newly diagnosed cases provides a clear link to mid-term mortality.

Airway pressures generated by high flow nasal cannula in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: a computational study.
Respir Res

Introduction And Objectives: High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is an increasingly popular mode of non-invasive respiratory support for the treatment of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). Previous experimental studies in healthy subjects have established that HFNC generates flow-dependent positive airway pressures, but no data is available on the levels of mean airway pressure (mP) or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) generated by HFNC therapy in AHRF patients. We aimed to estimate the airway pressures generated by HFNC at different flow rates in patients with AHRF, whose functional lung volume may be significantly reduced compared to healthy subjects due to alveolar consolidation and/or collapse.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease, influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the human genome may influence the risk of developing COPD and the response to treatment. We assessed the effects of gene polymorphism of inflammatory and immune-active factors and gene-environment interaction on risk of COPD in middle-aged and older Chinese individuals.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic and progressive lung disease. Disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) may be involved in the pathogenesis of COPD. From the perspective of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM), clarifying the role of disulfidptosis in the development of COPD could provide a opportunity for primary prediction, targeted prevention, and personalized treatment of the disease.

Background: Pathobiology of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with changes among respiratory epithelium structure and function. Increased levels of PM from urban particulate matter (UPM) are correlated with enlarged rate of asthma and COPD morbidity as well as acute disease exacerbation. It has been suggested that pre-existing pulmonary obstructive diseases predispose epithelium for different biological response than in healthy airways.

Background: Pulmonary bronchial leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumour of the lung originating from the mesenchymal tissue. The retroperitoneal region is the most common site of leiomyosarcoma. It exhibits a high degree of malignancy and a poor prognosis, thereby highlighting the significance of early diagnosis of this disease.
