Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between nutritional status and prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore the effect of body mass index (BMI) and weight loss on the prognosis of IPF patients. METHODS We accumulated studies on IPF, BMI, and weight loss from databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of science, Scopus, Ovid and Cochrane Library up to 4 August 2023. Using Cox proportional hazard regression model for subgroup analysis, hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for BMI in relation to mortality, acute exacerbation (AE), and hospitalization in IPF patients were calculated, and HR, odds ratio (OR), and 95% CI for weight loss corresponding to IPF patient mortality were assessed. Sensitivity analysis was peformed by eliminating every study one by one, and publication bias was judged by Egger's test and trim-and-fill method. RESULTS A total of 34 eligible studies involving 18,343 IPF patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results by univariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline BMI was a predictive factor for IPF mortality (HR = 0.93, 95%CI = [0.91, 0.94]). Furthermore, the results by the multivariable regression model indicated that baseline BMI was an independent risk factor for predicting IPF mortality (HR = 0.94, 95%CI = [0.91, 0.98]). Weight loss was identified as a risk factor for IPF mortality (HR = 2.74, 95% CI = [2.12, 3.54]; OR = 4.51, 95% CI = [1.72, 11.82]) and there was no predictive value of BMI for acute exacerbation (HR = 1.00, 95% CI= [0.93, 1.07]) or hospitalization (HR = 0.95, 95% CI = [0.89, 1.02]). CONCLUSION Low baseline BMI and weight loss in the course of IPF may indicate a high risk of mortality in patients with IPF, so it is meaningful to monitor and manage the nutritional status of IPF patients, and early intervention should be conducted for low BMI and weight loss.

The impact of airborne particulate matter-based pollution on the cellular and molecular mechanisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 954:176413. [PMID: 39322084 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.176413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2024] [Revised: 08/26/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024]
Abstract
Inhalation of particulate matter (PM), one of the many components of air pollution, is associated with the development and exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is one of the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity, with a paucity of therapeutic options and a significant contributor to global health expenditure. This review aims to provide a mechanistic understanding of the cellular and molecular pathways that lead to the development of COPD following chronic PM exposure. Our review describes how the inhalation of PM can lead to lung parenchymal destruction and cellular senescence due to chronic pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress. Following inhalation of PM, significant increases in a range of pro-inflammatory cytokines, mediated by the nuclear factor kappa B pathway are reported. This review also highlights how the inhalation of PM can lead to deleterious chronic oxidative stress persisting in the lung post-exposure. Furthermore, our work summarises how PM inhalation can lead to airway remodelling, with increases in pro-fibrotic cytokines and collagen deposition, typical of COPD. This paper also accentuates the interconnection and possible synergism between the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to COPD. Our work emphasises the serious health consequences of PM exposure on respiratory health. Elucidation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms can provide insight into possible therapeutic options. Finally, this review should serve as a stark reminder of the need for genuine action on air pollution to decrease the associated health burden on our growing global population.
