Yiqigubiao pill treatment regulates Sirtuin 5 expression and mitochondrial function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous group of pathophysiological bases of airway inflammation and its anti-inflammatory response. Aberrant mitochondrial signaling and mitochondrial dysfunction underlie the pathomechanisms leading to COPD. This study aims to investigate the effects of the Yiqigubiao (YQGB) pill, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), on Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) and mitochondrial function in patients with COPD.

Association between genetic polymorphisms of miRNAs (miR-8079 and miR-5007) and susceptibility of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Chinese people.

The purpose of our study is to determine the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of miRNAs (miR-8079 and miR-5007) and the susceptibility to COPD in Chinese population.

Methods: We conducted a 'case-control' study involving 315 COPD patients and 314 healthy individuals.
