  • Background: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) is a well-designed survey to collect national data, which many researchers have used for their studies. In KNHANES, although portable spirometry was used, its reliability has not been verified. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 58 participants from four Korean institutions. The participants were classified into normal pattern, obstructive pattern, and restrictive pattern groups according to their previous spirometry results. Lung function was estimated by conventional spirometry and portable spirometry, and the results were compared. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficients of forced vital capacity (FVC) (coefficient, 9.993; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.988-0.996), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (coefficient, 0.997; 95% CI, 0.995-0.998), FEV1/FVC ratio (coefficient, 0.995; 95% CI, 0.992-0.997), and forced expiratory flow at 25-75% (FEF25-75%; coefficient, 0.991; 95% CI, 0.984-0.994) were excellent (all p<0.001). In the subgroup analysis, the results of the three parameters were similar in all groups. In the overall and subgroup analyses, Pearson's correlation of all the parameters was also excellent in the total (coefficient, 0.986-0.994; p<0.001) and subgroup analyses (coefficient, 0.915-0.995; p<0.001). In the paired t-test, FVC, FEV1/FVC, and FEF25-75% estimated by the two instruments were statistically different. However, FEV1 was not significantly different. Conclusion: Lung function estimated by portable spirometry was well-correlated with that estimated by conventional spirometry. Although the values had minimal differences between them, we suggest that the spirometry results from the KNHANES are reliable.

  • 교착성 세기관지염은 매우 드문 소기도질환의 하나로서 변리학적으로 증식성 세기관지염과 더불어 폐쇄성 세기관지염의 양축의 하나를 점하고 있다. BOOP로 대표되는 증식성 세 기관지염은 임상경과가 비교적 빠르고 방사선학적으로도 간질성 또는 폐포성 음영 을 동반하는 비정형 폐렴과 유사한 발현을 보이므로 실제의 빈도가 적지 않다는 점은 제외하더라도 비교적 쉽게 의심하고 진단에 이를 수 있는 질환인 반면, 교착성 세기관지염은 그 빈도 자체가 매우 드물 뿐더러 방사선 소견이 거의 정상이고 폐기능검사 소견도 폐쇄성 양상을 보이므로 임상적으로 대개는 만성폐쇄성폐질환으로 간과되기 쉬운 질환으로써 그 진단이 쉽지 않다. 치료적인 면에서도 증식성 세기관지염이 부신피질호르몬제에 대해 극적인 반응을 보이는 반면 교착성 세기관지염은 세기관지벽 전체가 섬유성 반흔으로 대치되어 비가역성 기도폐쇄가 초래하는 병리학적 특성이 시사하는 바와 같이 치료에 대한 반응이 매우 미약한 치명적 질환이다. 그 원인으로서는 증식성 및 교착성 세기관지염 모두에서 독성 물질에 의한 흡입성 폐손상, 약제성, 감염성, 교원질환 관련성, 장기 이식 후등 선행 요인이 있는 경우와 원발 요인이 없는 경우를 특발성이라 한다. 같은 선행 요인에 의해 두가지 다른 질환군이 초래된다는 사실에서 이들이 같은 질환의 한 spectrum상에 있다는 설명도 있고, 여러 원인에 대해 같은 조직 소견이 관찰된다는 점에서 질환 특이적 병리 소견이라기보다는 비특이적 조직 반응의 하나라는 설명도 있지만 이에 대해서는 추후 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 저자 등은 비 Hodgkin 림프종을 진단 받은 동일한 시점에서 비교적 빠르게 진행하는 만성기도폐쇄 양상을 나타내고, 만성폐쇄성폐질환에 대한 위험 인자가 없고 흉부 방사선 소견상 정상소견을 나타내는 47세 여자 환자에서 개흉폐생검을 실시하여 교착성 세기관지염을 진단하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 상기한 선행 요인이 확인되지 않아 특발성이라 판단되며, 악성 종양, 특히 림프종과의 관련성 여부에 대해서는 현재로서는 확언하기 어렵고 향후 연구가 필요한 사항이라 생각된다.

  • Background: For generations, cigarette smoking has presented an important public health concern. This study aimed to compare the health-promoting behavior, exercise capacity, physical activity level, health literacy, and knowledge level of smoking-related diseases between smokers and non-smokers. Methods: The study included 71 smokers (mean age, 32.69±8.55 years) and 72 non-smokers (mean age, 31.88±9.94 years) between the ages of 20 and 60 years. Assessments included a 6-minute walking test (6MWT), Godin Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II), Cardiovascular Risk Factors Knowledge Level Scale (CARRF-KL), Asthma/COPD Awareness Questionnaire, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref questionnaire (WHOQoL-Bref [TR]), and Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ). Results: The results from the study show that the number of coronary artery disease risk factors measured significantly higher among the smoker group members when compared to that of the non-smoker group members (p=0.001). Smokers had significantly lower %6MWT distance than non-smokers (84.83±4.72 and 93.45±7.16, respectively; p<0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the smokers and non-smokers in terms of physical activity, CARRF-KL, HLQ, WHOQoL-Bref, and HPLP-II subscales or total scores (p>0.05). Additionally, while only forty-one smokers (57.7%) were active, 48 of the non-smoker group was active (66.7%). Conclusion: Smokers suffer greater negative effects to their exercise capacity in comparison to non-smokers. Although smokers and non-smokers have similar levels of health literacy and similar levels of knowledge about cardiovascular disease risk factors and obstructive lung diseases, health professionals could continue to further increase individuals' awareness of smoking-related risk factors and continue to emphasize the importance of physical activity and exercise for protecting cardiopulmonary health.

  • Spirometry is a physiological test for assessing the functional aspect of the lungs using an objective indicator to measure the maximum amount of air that a patient can inhale and exhale. Acceptable spirometry testing needs to be conducted three times by an acceptable and reproducible method for determining forced vital capacity (FVC). Until the results of three tests meet the criteria of reproducibility, the test should be repeated up to eight times. Interpretation of spirometry should be clear, concise, and informative. Additionally, spirometry should guarantee optimal quality prior to the interpreting spirometry results. Our guideline adopts a fixed normal predictive value instead of the lower limit of normal as the reference value because fixed value is more convenient and also accepts FVC instead of vital capacity (VC) because measurement of VC using a spirometer is impossible. The bronchodilator test is a method for measuring the changes in lung capacity after inhaling a short-acting ${\beta}-agonist$ that dilates the airway. When an obstructive ventilatory defect is observed, this test helps to diagnose and evaluate asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by measuring reversibility with the use of an inhaled bronchodilator. A positive response to a bronchodilator is generally defined as an increase of ${\geq}12%$ and ${\geq}200mL$ as an absolute value compared with a baseline in either forced expiratory volume at 1 second or FVC.

  • 기관지성형술은 폐기능이 저하되어 폐절제술이 불가능한 폐암 환자들에서 폐기능을 보존하면서 근치술을 시행할 수 있으므로 선택된 환자에서 널리 사용왔으며 동시에 폐쇄성 기관지 질환을 갖는 양성 환자들에서도 해부학적 교정을 통한 정상 호흡기능을 회복할 수 있는 수술로서 자리잡고 있다. 저자들은 1990년 4훨부터 1996년 4월가지 13명의 기관지 협착이나 폐쇄를 가진 환자들에서 2가지 방법의 기관지 성형술을 이용해서 치료하였다. 13명의 환자들은 남자 8명, 여자 5명이었고 평균연령은 43세로 19세부터 64세까지였다. 2가지의 기관지성형술은 자가늑연골편과 심낭편으로 제작한 첨포를 이용하는 기관지 확장성형술과 기관지 구역절제후 단단문합술로써 5명의 기관지 협착 환자에서는 확장 성형술을 적용하였으며 이들의 선행질환으로는 3례는 염증성 기관지확장증이었고 2례에서는 기관지 결핵이 동반된 기관지확장증이 있었다. 기관지 구역절제후 단단문합술은 8례의 기관폐쇄 환자에서 시행되었는데 선행질환으로는 기관지결핵이 6례, 외상 및 이물질에 의한 경우가 각각 1례씩 있었다. 수술과 연관된 사망은 없었으며, 합병증으로는 문합부의 재협착 례, 청포의 불안정으로 인한 장기간의 무기폐가 각각 1례씩 발생하였다. 결론적으로 기관성형술은 기관지 폐쇄나 혈착에 기인한 무기폐 환자에서 허탈된 폐의 생리적 기능을 정상으로 회복시키기 위해 시행될 수 있는 유용한술기이다.

  • Background: Many chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients receiving monotherapy continue to experience symptoms, exacerbations and poor quality of life. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of direct switch from once-daily tiotropium (TIO) 18 ㎍ to indacaterol/glycopyrronium (IND/GLY) 110/50 ㎍ once daily in COPD patients in Korea. Methods: This was a randomized, open-label, parallel group, 12-week trial in mild-to-moderate COPD patients who received TIO 18 ㎍ once daily for ≥12 weeks prior to study initiation. Patients aged ≥40 years, with predicted post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥50%, post-bronchodilator FEV1/forced vital capacity <0.7 and smoking history of ≥10 pack-years were included. Eligible patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either IND/GLY or TIO. The primary objective was to demonstrate superiority of IND/GLY over TIO in pre-dose trough FEV1 at week 12. Secondary endpoints included transition dyspnea index (TDI) focal score, COPD assessment test (CAT) total score, and rescue medication use following the 12-week treatment, and safety assessment. Results: Of the 442 patients screened, 379 were randomized and 347 completed the study. IND/GLY demonstrated superiority in pre-dose trough FEV1 versus TIO at week 12 (least squares mean treatment difference [Δ], 50 mL; p=0.013). Also, numerical improvements were observed with IND/GLY in the TDI focal score (Δ, 0.31), CAT total score (Δ, -0.81), and rescue medication use (Δ, -0.09 puffs/day). Both treatments were well tolerated by patients. Conclusion: A direct switch from TIO to IND/GLY provided improvements in lung function and other patient-reported outcomes with an acceptable safety profile in patients with mild-to-moderate airflow limitation.

  • Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have demonstrated their potential as biomarkers for lung cancer diagnosis. In recent years, miRNAs have been found in body fluids such as serum, plasma, urine and saliva. Circulating miRNAs are highly stable and resistant to RNase activity along with, extreme pH and temperatures in serum and plasma. In this study, we investigated serum miRNA profiles that can be used as a diagnostic biomarker of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: We compared the expression profile of miRNAs in the plasma of patients diagnosed with lung cancer using an miRNA microarray. The data from this assay were validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Results: Six miRNAs were overexpressed and three miRNAs were underexpressed in both tissue and serum from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients. Sixteen miRNAs were overexpressed and twenty two miRNAs were underexpressed in both tissue and serum from adenocarcinoma (AC) patients. Of the four miRNAs chosen for qRT-PCR analysis, the expression of miR-23a was consistent with microarray results from AC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were done and revealed that the level of serum miR-23a was a potential marker for discriminating AC patients from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Conclusion: Although a small number of patients were examined, the results from our study suggest that serum miR-23a can be used in the diagnosis of AC.
