AI Article Synopsis
- This study aims to explore lung function in patients suffering from Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) who also experience Chronic Cough (CC).
- It involved analyzing 109 CRS patients with CC and comparing their lung function metrics to those of normal control subjects, revealing significantly lower lung function in the CRS group.
- The findings suggest that CRS patients with CC need thorough lung function evaluations, and a team approach with various specialists, including pulmonologists, is essential for effective management.
Article Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the lung function in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients with Chronic Cough (CC).
Methods: A total of 1413 CC patients were retrospectively screened and 109 CRS patients with CC were enrolled. Lung function, Lund-Mackay Computed Tomography (CT) score, smoking status, peripheral blood eosinophil count, and immunoglobulin E concentration in serum samples, and Sino-Nasal Outcome Test were examined. Normal control subjects are also recruited.
Results: The Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV), Percent Predicted FEV, and FEV/Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) ratio in the patients were significantly low as compared with the control subjects. The FEV/FVC ratio was negatively correlated with the Lund-Mackay CT scores of the patients with a high CT score.
Conclusions: The CRS patients with CC should be investigated with lung function. In addition, the multidisciplinary evaluation including a pulmonologist is needed to manage the CRS patients with CC.
Level Of Evidence: Level 4.

Clinical remission in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with mepolizumab: A analysis of RELIght study.
Allergy Asthma Proc
January 2025
2nd Respiratory Department, Attikon University Hospital, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Medical School, Athens, Greece.
Remission of asthma can occur as part of the natural history of the disease; however, the use of biologics can result in disease remission in some patients. In this post hoc analysis of the RELIght study, we aimed to evaluate clinical remission in real life among patients treated with mepolizumab, to detect possible differences between "remitters" and "nonremitters," and to evaluate possible predictors of remission. Clinical remission was defined as the absence of asthma exacerbations, discontinuation of oral corticosteroids (OCS), achievement of asthma control (Asthma Control Test [ACT] ≥ 20), and stable or improved lung function.

Background: We sought consensus among practising respiratory physicians on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) using a modified Delphi process.
Methods: Following a literature review, statements on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression of ILD were developed by a panel of physicians with specialist expertise. Practising respiratory physicians were sent a survey asking them to indicate their level of agreement with these statements on a binary scale or 7-point Likert scale (- 3 to 3), or to select answers from a list.
Coenzyme Q10 Alleviates Silicosis Fibrosis Inhibiting Ferroptosis in Mice.
In Vivo
December 2024
College of Biology, Hunan University, Changsha, P.R. China;
Background/aim: Silicosis, the most severe type of occupational pneumoconiosis, leads to diffuse pulmonary fibrosis without specific therapy. Ferroptosis is triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Fe overload-induced lipid peroxidation, which is involved in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. As an important coenzyme in the process of aerobic respiration, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) can enhance mitochondrial function and energy supply and reduce malondialdehyde (MDA) to limit the risk of fibrosis.

CD147 has the potential to serve as a specific target with therapeutic characteristics in several respiratory diseases. Studies have demonstrated that CD147 regulates levels of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) through the process of mitochondrial translocations. However, there is still limited insight in the distinct mechanism of CD147 in asthmatic macrophages.

Mitochondrial quality control is crucial in sepsis-induced acute lung injury (SI-ALI). Our study investigates how the intracellular protein TBC1D15 regulates mitochondrial quality to improve SI-ALI. We found TBC1D15 levels significantly decreased in the whole blood of sepsis patients, monocytes, lung tissue from SI-ALI mice, and the MLE-12 cellular model (mouse lung epithelial cells).
