Norihiro Yamada,Mutsuo Yamaya,Shoji Okinaga,Katsutoshi Nakayama,Kiyohisa Sekizawa,Shigeki Shibahara,Hidetada Sasaki +6 more
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

Hiroshi Kubo,Katsutoshi Nakayama,Masaru Yanai,Tomoko Suzuki,Mutsuo Yamaya,Mika Watanabe,Hidetada Sasaki +6 more
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
Differentiated structure and function of cultures from human tracheal epithelium
TL;DR: The conditions which allow cultured human tracheal epithelial cells to retain the ion transport properties and ultrastructure of the original tissue are described and an air interface (AIR) gave better electrical properties than immersion feeding (IMM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Carbon Monoxide in Exhaled Air of Asthmatic Patients
TL;DR: The present study shows an elevation of exhaled CO in asthmatic patients that decreases with corticosteroid therapy, and increases in the exhaled carbon monoxide levels therefore may reflect inflammation in theAsthmatic lung.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interventions to Prevent Pneumonia Among Older Adults
TL;DR: This review is to consider promising pharmacologic treatments as methods of preventing pneumonia in older adults and to review other proven strategies, e.g., infection control and cerebrovascular disease prevention that will lessen the incidence of pneumonia.
