Article Abstract

Prior studies have reported pulmonary function tests (PFT) before and after related and unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, limited data exist on the evaluation of lung function after haploidentical stem cell transplantation (HAPLO) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY). We retrospectively reported the evaluation of PFTs at screening before HAPLO in 80 patients at 100 days and 1 year of follow-up. The proportion of surviving patients with available PFTs at 100 days and 1 year were 86% and 68%, respectively. During the follow-up period, four patients met the criteria for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome and two for interstitial lung disease. Overall survival was 73% (95% CI 62-82%) at 2 years. We observed a significant reduction in diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) corrected for the most recent hemoglobin concentration (DLCOc) at 100 days after HAPLO. However, an overall substantial stable pulmonary function was observed at 1 year.

Neuroinflammatory Consequences of Rhinovirus Infection in Human Epithelial and Neuronal Models.

Introduction: Rhinovirus (RV) is the leading cause of exacerbations of lung disease. A sensory neuronal model, derived from human dental pulp stem cells and differentiated into peripheral neuronal equivalents (PNEs), was used to examine RV's effects on airway sensory nerves. We investigated whether RV can directly infect and alter PNEs or whether it exerts effects indirectly via the release of mediators from infected epithelial cells.

Assessment of Small Airways Function in Eosinophilic Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry.

Introduction: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is an important phenotype of pulmonary function in clinical and public health practice. It is possible for some patients to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at an early stage. At present there is little research on the association of PRISm with type 2 (T2) inflammation biomarkers.

Background: Pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs) are specialized airway epithelial cells with dual sensory and secretory functions. They release bioactive mediators --including neuropeptides such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), and neurotransmitters such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) --that regulate airway smooth-muscle tone, mucus production, and immune responses. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), these PNEC-derived mediators contribute to airway inflammation, remodeling, and smooth-muscle dysfunction.

Background: Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a pathological condition characterized by aggravated oxidative-inflammatory tissue damage that occurs upon blood flow restoration after ischemia. LIRI can lead to severe complications, including primary graft dysfunction in lung transplants and multi-organ failure. However, current treatments remain limited.
