    Abstract The 2023 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) revised the definition of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to broadly include a variety of etiologies. A new taxonomy, composed of etiotypes, aims to highlight the heterogeneity in causes and pathogenesis of COPD, allowing more personalized management strategies and emphasizing the need for targeted research to understand and manage COPD better. However, controversy arises with including some diseases under the umbrella term of COPD, as their clinical presentations and treatments differ from classical COPD, which is smoking-related. COPD due to infection (COPD-I) and COPD due to environmental exposure (COPD-P) are classifications within the new taxonomy. Some disease entities in these categories show distinct clinical features and may not benefit from conventional COPD treatments, raising questions about their classification as COPD subtypes. There is also controversy regarding whether bronchiectasis with airflow limitations should be classified as an etiotype of COPD. This article discusses controversial issues associated with the proposed etiotypes for COPD in terms of COPD-I, COPD-P, and bronchiectasis. While the updated COPD definition by GOLD 2023 is a major step towards recognizing the disease's complexity, it also raises questions about the classification of related respiratory conditions. This highlights the need for further research to improve our understanding and approach to COPD management.

    Abstract Although cefepime and piperacillin/tazobactam are commonly prescribed for the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), which one is the superior therapy remains unclear. Using Korean National Health Insurance Service data from January 2018 to December 2018, we compared the clinical outcomes of patients with HAP who were treated with cefepime and those treated with piperacillin/tazobactam. Data from 9955 adult patients with HAP, of whom 1502 (15%) received cefepime and 8453 (85%) received piperacillin/tazobactam, were retrieved for primary analysis. Tube feeding, suctioning, positioning care, and intensive care unit admission were more common among patients who received piperacillin/tazobactam. Treatment outcomes, including rates of in-hospital mortality, pneumonia-related readmission, and all-cause mortality within 6 months after discharge, were comparable between the two groups. In a subgroup analysis of data from patients who required tube feeding, the risk for in-hospital mortality was significantly higher among those who received cefepime (fully adjusted odds ratio, 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.97;

    Abstract Background: Fluoroquinolones are one of the commonly used antibiotics for the initial empiric combination treatment. However, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of fluoroquinolones combination therapy for the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fluoroquinolones as part of the empiric combination therapy for HAP using national health insurance claims data in Korea.
    Methods: We compared the clinical outcomes of patients with HAP who received fluoroquinolones combination and those treated with cefepime or piperacillin/tazobactam monotherapy. The primary outcome was hospital mortality, and the secondary outcome was readmission caused by pneumonia as the primary cause of hospitalization within 7 days after discharge from index hospitalization. The association between the combination with fluoroquinolones and outcomes was evaluated with logistic regression analysis.
    Results: Among the 9,955 patients with HAP administered with cefepime or piperacillin/tazobactam, 4,918 (49%) received fluoroquinolones combination. During hospitalization, 1,059 (11%) patients with HAP died. Compared with the monotherapy group, the fluoroquinolones combination therapy group was associated with a higher mortality risk [adjusted odds ratio (OR), 1.30; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.65]. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the association remained significant in the non-high-risk HAP group (adjusted OR, 1.30; 95% CI: 1.02-1.66). Meanwhile, the mortality risk was similar between the fluoroquinolones combination therapy group and the monotherapy group of patients with high-risk HAP (adjusted OR, 0.99; 95% CI: 0.35-1.16). Among the patients alive and discharged (n=8,896), 152 (1.7%) were readmitted within 7 days after discharge. The fluoroquinolones combination therapy group was more likely to be readmitted because of pneumonia than the monotherapy group in patients with high-risk HAP (adjusted OR, 1.60; 95% CI: 1.04-2.47).
    Conclusions: Fluoroquinolones combined with β-lactams was prescribed in nearly half of patients with low-risk HAP, and it was associated with a higher mortality risk in real-world practice. However, it was not associated with hospital mortality even in patients with high-risk HAP.

    Abstract Background: The advent of the omicron variant and the formulation of diverse therapeutic strategies marked a new epoch in the realm of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Studies have compared the clinical outcomes between COVID-19 and seasonal influenza, but such studies were conducted during the early stages of the pandemic when effective treatment strategies had not yet been developed, which limits the generalizability of the findings. Therefore, an updated evaluation of the comparative analysis of clinical outcomes between COVID-19 and seasonal influenza is requisite.
    Methods: This study used data from the severe acute respiratory infection surveillance system of South Korea. We extracted data for influenza patients who were infected between 2018 and 2019 and COVID-19 patients who were infected in 2021 (pre-omicron period) and 2022 (omicron period). Comparisons of outcomes were conducted among the pre-omicron, omicron, and influenza cohorts utilizing propensity score matching. The adjusted covariates in the propensity score matching included age, sex, smoking, and comorbidities.
    Results: The study incorporated 1,227 patients in the pre-omicron cohort, 1,948 patients in the omicron cohort, and 920 patients in the influenza cohort. Following propensity score matching, 491 patients were included in each respective group. Clinical presentations exhibited similarities between the pre-omicron and omicron cohorts; however, COVID-19 patients demonstrated a higher prevalence of dyspnea and pulmonary infiltrates compared to their influenza counterparts. Both COVID-19 groups exhibited higher in-hospital mortality and longer hospital length of stay than the influenza group. The omicron group showed no significant improvement in clinical outcomes compared to the pre-omicron group.
    Conclusion: The omicron group did not demonstrate better clinical outcomes than the pre-omicron group, and exhibited significant disease severity compared to the influenza group. Considering the likely persistence of COVID-19 infections, it is imperative to sustain comprehensive studies and ongoing policy support for the virus to enhance the prognosis for individuals affected by COVID-19.

    Abstract Background: The role of interleukin (IL)-33 in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not been well elucidated. The aim of this study is to analyze the association between plasma IL-33 level and acute exacerbation of COPD.
    Methods: Plasma IL-33 was measured in 62 COPD patients during their stable state. Patients were prospectively followed up for 1 year. The expression of IL-33 was measured in lung tissue obtained from 38 patients who underwent surgery.
    Results: The number of exacerbations was significantly higher in the high plasma IL-33 group compared with the low plasma IL-33 group. On Poisson regression analysis, high plasma IL-33 was associated with increased risk of exacerbation (incidence rate ratio = 2.166, P = 0.043). The expression of IL-33 in the lung was higher in COPD patients than in controls. The expression of IL-33 was significantly correlated with smoking pack years (R = 0.45, P < 0.01) and Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (%) (R = - 0.58, P < 0.01).
    Conclusion: The plasma level of IL-33 in patients with COPD was significantly associated with the risk of exacerbation in prospective follow up. The expression of IL-33 in the lung was positively correlated with smoking and negatively correlated with lung function.

    Abstract G-protein-coupled receptor 119 (GPR119) has great potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of type II diabetes. Novel thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives were discovered as GPR119 agonists through a bioisosteric replacement strategy. The sulfonylphenyl thieno[3,2-d] pyrimidine scaffold was introduced, and its derivatives exhibited potent agonistic activity for GPR119 in cell-based assays. The representative derivative 43 displayed excellent pharmacokinetic profiles in rodents and significantly improved glucose tolerance in vivo. In OGTT study, compound 43 reduced significantly blood glucose levels in both mice and rats.
