Potential Utility of Combined Presepsin and LDH Tracking for Predicting Therapeutic Efficacy of Steroid Pulse Therapy in Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Lung Diseases: A Pilot Study Open
Background/Objectives: The usefulness of presepsin, which is released from macrophages, in acute exacerbation of interstitial lung diseases (AE-ILDs) is unknown. We aimed to investigate the utility of monitoring presepsin with other AE-ILD…

A possibility of pulmonary intravascular coagulopathy in acute exacerbation of interstitial lung diseases: a retrospective cohort study Open
Background Acute exacerbation (AE) of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a life-threatening condition that can cause idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-IPF. One of the causes of the poor prognostic outcomes of AE-ILD is believed t…

Inhibitory effect of calcium channel blockers on the deterioration of lung function in adult-onset asthma Open
Even with the recent developments in asthma therapy, severe asthma (SA) remains difficult to treat and leads to considerable morbidity and mortality. Chronic oral corticosteroid use increases adverse effects. Biologics were recently introd…

Cigarette smoke-induced impairment of autophagy in macrophages increases galectin-8 and inflammation Open
Cigarette smoke impairs autophagy, an intracellular protein degradation system, but the consequences of this defect have not been fully elucidated, especially in macrophages. Dysfunctional alveolar macrophages play an important role in chr…
