[PMID: 39458339 PMCID: PMC11510474 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12102030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2024] [Revised: 09/16/2024] [Accepted: 10/01/2024] [Indexed: 10/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The intricate relationship between chronic lung diseases and viral infections is a significant concern in respiratory medicine. We explore how pre-existing lung conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and interstitial lung diseases, influence susceptibility, severity, and outcomes of viral infections. We also examine how viral infections exacerbate and accelerate the progression of lung disease by disrupting immune responses and triggering inflammatory pathways. By summarizing current evidence, this review highlights the bidirectional nature of these interactions, where underlying lung diseasesincrease vulnerability to viral infections, while these infections, in turn, worsen the clinical course. This review underscores the importance of preventive measures, such as vaccination, early detection, and targeted therapies, to mitigate adverse outcomes in patients with chronic lung conditions. The insights provided aim to inform clinical strategies that can improve patient management and reduce the burden of chronic lung diseases exacerbated by viral infections.

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 2023; 18:2687-2698.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the role of the CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) pathway in the regulation of Th1, Th17, and regulatory T (Treg)-cell responses in an elastin peptide (EP)-induced autoimmune emphysema mouse model. Methods BALB/c mice were transnasally treated with EP on day 0, injected intravenously with anti-CD40 antibody via the tail vein on day 33, and sacrificed on day 40. The severity of emphysema was evaluated by determining the mean linear intercept (MLI) and destructive index (DI) from lung sections. The proportions of myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) and Th1, Th17, and Treg cells in the blood, spleen, and lungs were determined via flow cytometry. The levels of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, interferon (IFN)-γ, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β were detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Ifnγ, IL17a, Rorγt and Foxp3 transcription levels were detected via polymerase chain reaction. Results CD40+ mDCs accumulated in the lungs of EP-stimulated mice. Blocking the CD40-CD40L pathway with an anti-CD40 antibody alleviated Th1 and Th17 responses; increased the proportion of Treg cells; decreased MLI and DI; reduced the levels of cytokines IL-6, IL-17, and IFN-γ as well as the transcription levels of Ifnγ, IL17a, and Rorγt; and upregulated the expression of TGF-β and Foxp3. Conclusion The CD40-CD40L pathway could play a critical role in Th1, Th17 and Treg cell dysregulation in EP-mediated emphysema and could be a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heroin use can cause respiratory complications including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis (BD). OBJECTIVES A general review of the literature presenting the data on the relationships between heroin consumption and bronchial complications, while underlining the difficulties of diagnosis and management. DOCUMENTARY SOURCES Medline, 1980-2022, keywords "asthma" or "bronchospasm" or "COPD" or "bronchiectasis" and "heroin" or "opiate" or "opiates", with limits pertaining to "Title/Abstract". Concerning asthma, 26 studies were included, as were 16 for COPD and 5 for BD. RESULTS Asthma and COPD are more prevalent among heroin addicts, who are less compliant than other patients with their treatment. The authors found a positive association between frequency of asthma exacerbations, admission to intensive care and heroin inhalation. Late diagnosis of COPD worsens the course of the disease; emphysema and BD are poor prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Bronchial diseases in heroin users can be identified by means of respiratory function exploration and chest CT scans. These tests should be performed frequently in view of optimizing their care, which includes their weaning themselves from addictive substances.

The Effectiveness of Supplementation with Key Vitamins, Minerals, Antioxidants and Specific Nutritional Supplements in COPD-A Review. Nutrients 2023; 15:2741. [PMID: 37375645 DOI: 10.3390/nu15122741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Revised: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Currently, an increasing amount of evidence supports the notion that vitamins C, D and E, carotenoids, and omega-3 fatty acids may protect against the progression of chronic respiratory diseases. Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) primarily affects the lung, it is often accompanied by extrapulmonary manifestations such as weight loss and malnutrition, skeletal muscle dysfunction, and an excess of harmful oxidants, which can lead to a decline in quality of life and possible death. Recently, the role of various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in mitigating the effects of environmental pollution and smoking has received significant attention. Therefore, this review evaluates the most relevant and up-to-date evidence on this topic. We conducted a literature review between 15 May 2018 and 15 May 2023, using the electronic database PubMed. Our search keywords included COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, FEV1, supplementation: vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B, omega-3, minerals, antioxidants, specific nutrient supplementations, clinical trials, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We focused on studies that measured the serum levels of vitamins, as these are a more objective measure than patient self-reports. Our findings suggest that the role of appropriate dietary supplements needs to be reconsidered for individuals who are predisposed to or at risk of these conditions.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:1678. [PMID: 36767040 PMCID: PMC9914667 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20031678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Frailty is prevalent in older adults and is related to a worsening functionality, quality of life, and health outcomes. Though there is an increasing interest in this field, the relationship between frailty and worsening COPD outcomes remains unknown. A narrative review of the literature with studies published between 2018 and 2022 was carried out to address three questions: the prevalence of frailty and other geriatric syndromes in COPD patients, the link between frailty and worsening health outcomes in COPD patients, and the non-pharmacological interventions performed in order to reverse frailty in these patients. A total of 25 articles were selected. Frailty prevalence ranged from 6% and 85.9%, depending on the COPD severity and the frailty measurement tool used. Frailty in COPD patients was related to a high prevalence of geriatric syndromes and to a high incidence of adverse events such as exacerbations, admissions, readmissions, and mortality. One study showed improvements in functionality after physical intervention. In conclusion, the prevalence of frailty is associated with a high incidence of geriatric syndromes and adverse events in COPD patients. The use of frailty screenings and a comprehensive geriatric assessment of COPD patients is advisable in order to detect associated problems and to establish individualized approaches for better outcomes.
