Mucin over-production is one of the hallmarks of chronic airway diseases such as chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis. NF-κB activation in airway …

Background and objective: Previous studies have indicated a high incidence of lung cancer
in IPF, and some have identified its risk factors. However, those studies were retrospective …

BACKGROUND: Acute exacerbation (AE) is currently established as a distinct condition
with acute deterioration of respiratory status in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Recently, …

Using multi‐anvil high‐pressure devices and synchrotron radiation, X‐ray in situ observations
of HfO 2 under high pressure and high temperature have been performed to investigate its …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the difference in clinical features and prognosis of patients with
interstitial lung disease (ILD) comparing polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM). METHODS…

Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common manifestation of polymyositis (PM),
dermatomyositis (DM), and clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM); however, little is …

The aim of the present study was to clarify the clinical characteristics and prognosis of
patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with amyopathic dermatomyositis (ILD-ADM)…

Objectives Myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) are associated with clinical phenotypes
in polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM). No study has investigated the clinical features …

Objectives To investigate the risk factors and prognosis associated with acute exacerbation (AE)
in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). …

A major pathological feature of chronic airway diseases is the elevated expression of gel-forming
mucins. NF-κB activation in airway epithelial cells has been shown to play a …
