Defective exercise-related expiratory muscle recruitment in patients with PHOX2B mutations: A clue to neural determinants of the congenital central hypoventilation syndrome Pulmonology (IF 11.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-25 P. Laveneziana, Q. Fossé, M. Bret, M. Patout, B. Dudoignon, C. Llontop, C. Morélot-Panzini, F. Cayetanot, L. Bodineau, C. Straus, T. Similowski
The human congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is caused by mutations in the PHOX2B (paired-like homeobox 2B) gene. Genetically engineered PHOX2B rodents exhibit defective development of the brainstem retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN), a carbon dioxide sensitive structure that critically controls expiratory muscle recruitment. This has been linked to a blunted exercise ventilatory response

Real-time and non-invasive acute lung rejection diagnosis using confocal LASER Endomicroscopy in lung transplant recipients: Results from the CELTICS study Pulmonology (IF 11.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-24 T. Villeneuve, C. Hermant, A. Le Borgne, M. Murris, G. Plat, V. Héluain, M. Colombat, M. Courtade-Saïdi, S. Evrard, S. Collot, M. Salaün, N. Guibert
Traditionally, the diagnosis of acute rejection (AR) relies on invasive transbronchial biopsies (TBBs) to obtain histopathological samples. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) as a complementary and non-invasive tool for ACR screening, comparing its results with those obtained from TBBs. Between January 2015 and April 2022, we conducted a retrospective

The role of MicroRNAs as early biomarkers of asbestos-related lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis Pulmonology (IF 11.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-24 D. Mukhopadhyay, P. Cocco, S. Orrù, R. Cherchi, S. De Matteis
Asbestos is still the leading cause of occupational cancer mortality worldwide. Asbestos-related lung cancer (LC) and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) prognosis is still poor especially at advanced stage, so early diagnosis biomarkers are needed. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed as potential early diagnostic biomarkers of asbestos-related LC and MPM. To evaluate the role of miRNAs as diagnostic

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease with diverse clinical features that can present a fibrotic phenotype similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in genetically predisposed individuals. While several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with IPF, the genetic factors contributing to fibrotic HP (fHP) remain poorly understood. This study investigated

Comparison of cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy for the diagnosis of mediastinal lesions: A randomised clinical trial Pulmonology (IF 11.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-05 T.-L. Cheng, Z.-S. Huang, J. Zhang, J. Wang, J. Zhao, K. Kontogianni, W.-L. Fu, N. Wu, W.M. Kuebler, F.J. Herth, Y. Fan
Introduction Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the standard approach for lung cancer staging. However, its diagnostic utility for other mediastinal diseases might be hampered by the limited tissue retrieved. Recent evidence suggests the novel sampling strategies of forceps biopsy and cryobiopsy as auxiliary techniques to EBUS-TBNA, considering their capacity
