Journal ArticleDOI

Microsatellite polymorphism in the heme oxygenase-1 gene promoter is associated with susceptibility to emphysema.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the large size of a (GT)n repeat in the HO-1 gene promoter may reduceHO-1 inducibility by reactive oxygen species in cigarette smoke, thereby resulting in the development of CPE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anticoagulant Therapy for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of anticoagulant therapy on the survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) was evaluated in five hospitals located in the Miyagi prefecture in Japan, including a university hospital, a Red Cross hospital, two public general hospitals and a municipal hospital.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insufficient autophagy in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

TL;DR: It is found that autophagy inhibition is sufficient to induce acceleration of epithelial cell senescence and myofibroblast differentiation in lung fibroblasts and is a promising clue for understanding the pathogenesis of IPF.
