A recent report from Capital Medical University discusses the correlation between inflammatory biomarkers and lung function in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study found that IL-18 levels were significantly correlated with pulmonary ventilation function, pulmonary diffusion capacity, and the improvement rate of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1). This suggests that IL-18 may play an important role in the development of COPD and can be used as a monitoring indicator for evaluating the disease in its stable phase. The research provides valuable insights into the understanding and management of COPD. [Extracted from the article] |
