    Abstract Object Malnutrition negatively affects patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to explore the potential association between malnutrition, as defined by the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and all-cause mortality in patients with COPD using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Method The data of 579 adults with COPD during NHANES 2013–2018 were analysed. Each patient was assigned to one of the two groups according to GNRI values: normal nutritional status (GNRI>98) and malnutrition status (GNRI≤98). Survival curves and Cox regressions were applied to evaluate the association between nutritional status and mortality.Results Overall, the mean age was 63.4±0.5 years, and 53.9% of the patients were women. The prevalence of malnutrition was 6.6%, and the Kaplan-Meier curves for all-cause mortality according to nutritional status showed that malnutrition was associated with a higher incidence of all-cause mortality. The Cox regression analysis found that in the unadjusted model, the HR was 2.30 (95% CI 1.24 to 4.27, p=0.01). In the fully adjusted model, the adjusted HR was 2.47 (95% CI 1.36 to 4.5, p=0.003). Furthermore, subgroup analysis revealed that the risk of death due to malnutrition increased more than threefold in the low education and cancer subgroups.Conclusion A low GNRI was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients with COPD.

    Abstract Background: Assessment of lung function is essential for the early screening chronic airway diseases (CADs). Nevertheless, it is still not widely used for early diagnosing CADs in epidemiological or primary care settings. Thus, we used data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to discuss the relationship between the serum uric acid/serum creatinine (SUA/SCr) ratio and lung function in general adults to gain the role of SUA/SCr in early assessment of lung function abnormalities.
    Methods: From 2007 to 2012 NHANES, a total of 9569 people were included in our study. Using the regression model, XGBoost algorithm model, generalised linear model and two-piecewise linear regression model, the link between the SUA/SCr ratio and lung function was investigated.
    Results: After correcting for confounding variables, the data revealed that forced vital capacity (FVC) declined by 47.630 and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) decreased by 36.956 for each additional unit of SUA/SCr ratio. However, there was no association between SUA/SCr and FEV1/FVC. In the XGBoost model of FVC, the top five most important were glycohaemoglobin, total bilirubin, SUA/SCr, total cholesterol and aspartate aminotransferase, whereas in FEV1, were glycohaemoglobin, total bilirubin, total cholesterol, SUA/SCr and serum calcium. In addition, we determined the linear and inverse association between SUA/SCr ratio and FVC or FEV1 by constructing a smooth curve.
    Conclusions: In the general American population, the SUA/SCr ratio is inversely linked with FVC and FEV1, but not with FEV1/FVC, according to our research. Future studies should investigate the impact of SUA/SCr on lung function and identify possible mechanisms of action.

    Abstract BackgroundCryobiopsy has emerged as a novel alternative to conventional forceps biopsy for the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), lung tumors, and peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). This study aims to compare cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy for the diagnosis of these lung pathologies with respect to efficacy and safety by performing a meta-analysis of updated evidence.MethodsA number of databases, such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, OVID, CNKI, and Wanfang database, were searched for eligible studies. Randomized and non-randomized comparative studies investigating the efficacy and safety of cryobiopsy vs. forceps biopsy for lung pathologies were included. Pooled results were calculated as an odds ratio (OR) or standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% CI.ResultsA total of 39 studies, such as 9 RCTs with 3,586 biopsies (1,759 cryobiopsies and 1,827 flexible forceps biopsies) were analyzed. Cryobiopsy was associated with a significant increase in the diagnostic rates of ILDs (OR, 4.29; 95% CI, 1.85–9.93; p < 0.01), lung tumors (OR, 3.58; 95% CI, 2.60–4.93; p < 0.01), and PPLs (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.23–2.34; p < 0.01). Cryobiopsy yielded significantly larger specimens compared with flexible forceps biopsy (SMD, 3.06; 95% CI, 2.37–3.74; p < 0.01). The cryobiopsy group had a significantly higher (moderate to severe) bleeding risk than the forceps group (OR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.48–3.19; p < 0.01). No significant difference was observed in the incidence of pneumothorax between the groups (OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.44–1.85; p = 0.78).ConclusionOur results demonstrate that cryobiopsy is a safe and efficacious alternative to conventional forceps biopsy.

    Abstract BackgroundPleural cryobiopsy is a novel technique for the diagnosis of pleural pathologies. However, the safety and feasibility of this modality compared to standard forceps for pleural biopsy has not been fully elucidated. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to establish the efficacy and safety of cryobiopsy for evaluation of undiagnosed pleural effusion.MethodsFor this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of science databases up to December 16, 2021 to identify relevant articles. We included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, retrospectives studies and case series that compared pleural cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy. A qualitative assessment was performed using the QUADAS-2 tool.ResultsOf the 365 articles identified by our search, 15 studies were eligible for inclusion. The specimen sizes obtained with cryobiopsy were significantly larger compared with forceps biopsy (Standard mean difference 1.16; 95 % CI: 0.51–1.82; P < 0.01). Furthermore, the cryobiopsy tissue specimens were deeper (OR 2.68; 95 % CI: 1.39–5.16; P < 0.01) and qualitatively better with less crush artifacts (OR 0.06; 95 % CI: 0.01–0.26; P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in diagnostic yield (OR 1.32; 95 % CI: 0.79–2.21; P = 0.29) and mild to moderate bleeding events (OR 1.21; 95 % CI: 0.64–2.29; P = 0.57) between pleural cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy. No publication bias was observed among these studies.ConclusionsCompared to flexible forceps biopsy pleural cryobiopsy obtained larger and deeper tissue specimens with less crush artifacts but does not show superiority for diagnostic yield. Further studies are still needed to verify these findings.

    Abstract BackgroundBronchoscopy is the main method for the diagnosis of tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB). However, it is not well-used in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), leading to misdiagnosis. The aim of this study is to verify the value and feasibility of bronchoscopy for an early diagnosis and treatment of TBTB.Materials and MethodsA prospective observational study was performed in patients with active PTB. The ratios of TBTB and tracheobronchial stenosis were analyzed with propensity score matching (PSM) for baseline characteristics, and a Cox regression model was further employed to adjust for residual confounding factors.ResultsA total of 656 patients with active PTB were enrolled in the study that included 307 patients in the active group and 349 patients in the non-active group. The ratio of TBTB was significantly higher in the active group than that in the non-active group [hazard ratio (HR), 2.31; 95% CI, 1.70–3.14; p < 0.001]. With PSM, the proportion of tracheobronchial stenosis in the non-active group was significantly higher than that in the active group (HR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.15–2.95; p = 0.011). Moreover, the number of patients with moderate to severe stenosis were significantly higher than that in the active group (HR, 4.13; 95% CI, 2.25–7.63; p < 0.001). Similar results were obtained with multivariate analysis. With 12 months of treatment, both therapeutic effective rate (84.7 vs. 68.2%; p = 0.009) and improvement rate of non-fibrotic tracheobronchial stenosis (79.1 vs. 47.4%; p = 0.022) were higher in the active group than that in the non-active group.ConclusionActive and regular bronchoscopy is conducive to early diagnosis of TBTB, combined with prompt anti-tuberculosis therapy, greatly reducing the occurrence of tracheobronchial stenosis and improving prognosis.

    Abstract BackgroundSelf-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) is a palliative therapy for patients with malignant central airway obstruction (CAO) or tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Despite this, many patients experience death shortly after SEMS placement.AimsWe aimed to investigate the effect of SEMS on the palliative treatment between malignant CAO and malignant TEF patients and investigate the associated prognostic factors of the 3-month survival.MethodsWe performed a single-center, retrospective study of malignant CAO or TEF patients receiving SEMS placement. Clinical data were collected using the standardized data abstraction forms. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. A two-sided P-value <0.05 was statistically significant.Results106 malignant patients (82 CAO and 24 TEF) receiving SEMS placement were included. The body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin levels, and albumin levels in the malignant TEF group were lower than in the malignant CAO group (all P < 0.05). The procalcitonin levels, C-reactive protein levels, and the proportion of inflammatory lesions were higher in the malignant TEF group than in the malignant CAO group (all P < 0.05). The proportion of symptomatic improvement after the SEMS placement was 97.6% in the malignant CAO group, whereas 50.0% in the malignant TEF group, with a significant difference (P = 0.000). Three months after SEMS placement, the survival rate at was 67.0%, significantly lower in the malignant TEF group than in the malignant CAO group (45.8% vs. 73.2%, P = 0.013). Multivariate analysis revealed that BMI [odds ratio (OR) = 1.841, 95% certificated interval (CI) (1.155-2.935), P = 0.010] and neutrophil percentage [OR = 0.936, 95% CI (0.883–0.993), P = 0.027] were the independent risk factors for patients who survived three months after SEMS placement.ConclusionsWe observed symptom improvement in malignant CAO and TEF patients after SEMS placement. The survival rate in malignant TEF patients after SEMS placement was low, probably due to aspiration pneumonitis and malnutrition. ...

    Abstract BackgroundTracheobronchial stenosis, particularly central airway stenosis, which frequently results in severe complications such as lung damage, occurs in patients with tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB).ObjectivesTo analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with central airway stenosis due to tuberculosis (CASTB).MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on the clinical features, radiological features, bronchoscopic features and treatment of 157 patients who were diagnosed with CASTB in two tertiary hospitals in Chongqing, China, from May 2020 to May 2022.ResultsCASTB mostly occurs in young patients and females. Patients with CASTB exhibited different symptoms repeatedly during the disease, especially varying degrees of dyspnea, prompting many patients to undergo bronchoscopic intervention and even surgery. Patients with cicatricial strictures constituted the highest proportion of the TBTB subtype with CASTB and 35.7% of the patients with CASTB were found to have tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) under bronchoscopy. CASTB and TBM mainly involved the left main bronchus. Patients with lower levels of education had higher rates of TBM. Patients with TBM manifested shortness of breath more frequently than patients without TBM. Patients with TBTB who had undergone bronchoscopic interventions have a higher rate of TBM.ConclusionsDespite mostly adequate anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, patients with TBTB can present with CASTB involving severe scarring stenosis, bronchial occlusion, tracheobronchomalacia and even destroyed lung.

    Abstract In the clinic, it is difficult to distinguish the malignancy and aggressiveness of solid pulmonary nodules (PNs). Incorrect assessments may lead to delayed diagnosis and an increased risk of complications. We developed and validated a deep learning-based model for the prediction of malignancy as well as local or distant metastasis in solid PNs based on CT images of primary lesions during initial diagnosis. In this study, we reviewed the data from multiple patients with solid PNs at our institution from 1 January 2019 to 30 April 2022. The patients were divided into three groups: benign, Ia-stage lung cancer, and T1-stage lung cancer with metastasis. Each cohort was further split into training and testing groups. The deep learning system predicted the malignancy and metastasis status of solid PNs based on CT images, and then we compared the malignancy prediction results among four different levels of clinicians. Experiments confirmed that human–computer collaboration can further enhance diagnostic accuracy. We made a held-out testing set of 134 cases, with 689 cases in total. Our convolutional neural network model reached an area under the ROC (AUC) of 80.37% for malignancy prediction and an AUC of 86.44% for metastasis prediction. In observer studies involving four clinicians, the proposed deep learning method outperformed a junior respiratory clinician and a 5-year respiratory clinician by considerable margins; it was on par with a senior respiratory clinician and was only slightly inferior to a senior radiologist. Our human–computer collaboration experiment showed that by simply adding binary human diagnosis into model prediction probabilities, model AUC scores improved to 81.80–88.70% when combined with three out of four clinicians. In summary, the deep learning method can accurately diagnose the malignancy of solid PNs, improve its performance when collaborating with human experts, predict local or distant metastasis in patients with T1-stage lung cancer, and facilitate the application of precision medicine.

    Abstract Abstract Background Anoctamin 5 (ANO5) is a membrane protein belonging to the TMEM16/Anoctamin family and its deficiency leads to the development of limb girdle muscular dystrophy R12 (LGMDR12). However, little has been known about the interactome of ANO5 and its cellular functions. Results In this study, we exploited a proximal labeling approach to identify the interacting proteins of ANO5 in C2C12 myoblasts stably expressing ANO5 tagged with BioID2. Mass spectrometry identified 41 unique proteins including BVES and POPDC3 specifically from ANO5-BioID2 samples, but not from BioID2 fused with ANO6 or MG53. The interaction between ANO5 and BVES was further confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and the N-terminus of ANO5 mediated the interaction with the C-terminus of BVES. ANO5 and BVES were co-localized in muscle cells and enriched at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Genome editing-mediated ANO5 or BVES disruption significantly suppressed C2C12 myoblast differentiation with little impact on proliferation. Conclusions Taken together, these data suggest that BVES is a novel interacting protein of ANO5, involved in regulation of muscle differentiation.

    Abstract The authors described a universal amperometric DNA biosensor for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of the specific IS6110 DNA sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Surprisingly, when tufted carbon nanotubes (CNTs) doped with polyaniline (PAN), a unique flower-like structure with large surface area, abundant active groups and efficient redox activity was obtained. Accordingly, CNTs-PAN nanohybrid was designed both as novel redox nanoprobe and nanocarrier to decorate signal probe, forming tracer label for the generation and amplification of electrochemical signal. In addition, functionalized fullerene (C60) nanoparticles were employed as sensor platform to accelerate electron transfer and increase the loading of capture probe (CP). Moreover, enzyme-assisted target recycling amplification including three-way DNA junction could resolve the restriction of target sequences and make this method universal for other analytes. In the presence of target DNA, the assistant probe (AP), together with target DNA, could hybridize with CP and open its hairpin structure to form the Y-shaped junction and recognition sequence for nicking endonuclease. Once the CP was cleaved, the released AP and target DNA could hybridize with another CP to trigger the next cycle of cleavage, resulting in a large number of cleaved CP. After hybridization between cleaved CP and tracer label, a significantly enhanced electrochemical signal of CNTs-PAN could be easily read out. Based on the multiple signal amplification strategy, a wide detection linear range from 1 fM to 10nM was obtained for target DNA of MTB. More importantly, the universal DNA biosensor also showed high specificity and sensitivity for MTB detection in clinical samples, which may provide a pragmatic tool for MTB testing and hold a great potential for other analytes.
