Comparison of methimazole and propylthiouracil in patients with hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease.

TL;DR: MMI 15 mg/d is suitable for mild and moderate GD, whereas MMI 30 mg/D is advisable for severe cases, and PTU is not recommended for initial use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cumulative incidence of and predictive factors for lung cancer in IPF.

TL;DR: The present study was conducted to elucidate the cumulative incidence and risk factors for lung cancer in IPF patients by retrospective longitudinal cohort analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased serum kynurenine/tryptophan ratio correlates with disease progression in lung cancer.

TL;DR: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity was increased in lung cancer patients, and higher IDO activity was associated with more advanced stages, suggesting that increasedIDO activity is involved in disease progression of lung cancer, possibly through its immunosuppressive effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia associated with collagen vascular diseases

TL;DR: In this paper, the cumulative incidence of acute exacerbation (AE) in CVD-associated interstitial pneumonia (CVD-IP) and its clinical characteristics were investigated. And the authors found that age was an independent significant factor predicting AE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antiinflammatory Roles of Peroxisome Proliferator–activated Receptor γ in Human Alveolar Macrophages

TL;DR: Data indicate that PPARgamma expressed by AMs play an antiinflammatory role through inhibiting cytokine production and increasing their CD36 expression together with the enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils, which is an essential process for the resolution of inflammation.
