The physiology of singing and implications for ‘Singing for Lung Health’ as a therapy for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

ABSTRACT: Singing is an increasingly popular activity for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Research to date suggests that ‘Singing for Lung Health’ may improve various health measures, including health-related quality-of-life. Singing and breathing are closely linked processes affecting one another. In this narrative review, we explore the physiological rationale for ‘Singing for Lung Health’ as an intervention, focusing on the abnormalities of pulmonary mechanics seen in COPD and how these might be impacted by singing. The potential beneficial physiological mechanisms outlined here require further in-depth evaluation.

Lung Regeneration Therapy for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a critical condition with high morbidity and mortality. Although several medications are available, there are no definite treatments. However, recent advances in the understanding of stem and progenitor cells in the lung, and molecular changes during re-alveolization after pneumonectomy, have made it possible to envisage the regeneration of damaged lungs. With this background, numerous studies of stem cells and various stimulatory molecules have been undertaken, to try and regenerate destroyed lungs in animal models of COPD. Both the cell and drug therapies show promising results. However, in contrast to the successes in laboratories, no clinical trials have exhibited satisfactory efficacy, although they were generally safe and tolerable. In this article, we review the previous experimental and clinical trials, and summarize the recent advances in lung regeneration therapy for COPD. Furthermore, we discuss the current limitations and future perspectives of this emerging field.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Clinical Implications for Patients With Lung Cancer

Project description:BACKGROUND:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common smoking-related illness. COPD often is underemphasized as a comorbidity except when considering issues surrounding surgical treatment options. OBJECTIVES:This article aims to provide nurses with an overview of the pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment implications of COPD. METHODS:Definitions, differentials, and treatment considerations are provided, and clinical implications and resources are described. FINDINGS:The added burden of dyspnea, fatigue, and psychological distress related to COPD may affect the overall outcome and quality of life (QOL) of patients with lung cancer. Attention to the prevention, assessment, and treatment of lung cancer and COPD and related symptomatology will help maximize patients' QOL.

Autologous transplantation of P63+ lung progenitor cells for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease therapy

Project description:Adult lung resident stem/progenitor cells, including P63+ progenitor cells, have demonstrated the capacity for regeneration of lung epithelium in precinical models. Here we report a clinical trial of intra-pulmonary P63+ progenitor cell transplantation which included 28 participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (stage II~IV). For control group, standard of care (SOC) for COPD treatment was given. For intervention group, in addition to SOC, autologous P63+ progenitor cells were isolated from the airway basal layer via bronchoscopic brushing, cultured for 3~5 weeks, and then transplanted into the lungs via bronchoscopy with 0.7-5.2x10^6 cells per kilogram bodyweight. Eventually 20 patients were evaluated (intervention group n=17; control group n=3). No grade 3~5 adverse events (AE) or serious adverse events occurred in any group. Bronchoscopy-associated AEs were recorded only in intervention groups, while the other AEs were recorded in both groups without showing significant difference. Participants in intervention group displayed significant improvement in diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (change from baseline, 24 weeks: +18.2%), showing significant difference comparing to control group (change from baseline, 24 weeks: -17.4%)(p-value=0.008). Furthermore, more participants in intervention group showed > 30 m increase in walking distance within 6 minutes, demonstrating significant difference comparing to control group (p-value=0.036). Transcriptomic analysis of cells isolated from responding and non-responding individuals in the intervention group showed that higher expression of P63 and Nkx homeobox-1 was associated with better efficacy. In conclusion, transplantation of cultured P63+ lung progenitor cells was safe and represented a potential treatment strategy for COPD.

Pulmonary microRNA changes alter angiogenesis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer

Project description:This experiment was carried out to see if there were any miRNA expression differences in pulmonary endothelial cells between patients with and without COPD. COPD is an inflammatory condition and although much work has previously been performed to investigate the inflammatory cells in COPD there has not been as much research looking at the endothelium through which inflammatory cells must pass through to reach the lung tissue. In this experiment pulmonary endothelial cells were extracted from whole lung tissue removed at the time of cardiothoracic surgery. This was performed for patients with and without COPD. RNA was extracted using the Qiagen microRNeasy kits prior to transferring to the University of Birmingham Biosciences department who performed RNA labelling and ran the microarrays. Once the microarrays were performed quality was checked using ArrayQualityMetrics and the COPD group was compared to the non-COPD group using SAM. The experiment was then repeated using another patient group. MiRNAs of interest were validated with qPCR initially before moving on to functional work.

Targeted therapy in eosinophilic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and preventable airway disease causing significant worldwide mortality and morbidity. Lifetime exposure to tobacco smoking and environmental particles are the two major risk factors. Over recent decades, COPD has become a growing public health problem with an increase in incidence. COPD is defined by airflow limitation due to airway inflammation and small airway remodelling coupled to parenchymal lung destruction. Most patients exhibit neutrophil-predominant airway inflammation combined with an increase in macrophages and CD8+ T-cells. Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory airway disease. The most studied subtype is type 2 (T2) high eosinophilic asthma, for which there are an increasing number of biologic agents developed. However, both asthma and COPD are complex and share common pathophysiological mechanisms. They are known as overlapping syndromes as approximately 40% of patients with COPD present an eosinophilic airway inflammation. Several studies suggest a putative role of eosinophilia in lung function decline and COPD exacerbation. Recently, pharmacological agents targeting eosinophilic traits in uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma, especially monoclonal antibodies directed against interleukins (IL-5, IL-4, IL-13) or their receptors, have shown promising results. This review examines data on the rationale for such biological agents and assesses efficacy in T2-endotype COPD patients.

Stem cell therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Project description:AbstractChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), characterized by persistent and not fully reversible airflow restrictions, is currently one of the most widespread chronic lung diseases in the world. The most common symptoms of COPD are cough, expectoration, and exertional dyspnea. Although various strategies have been developed during the last few decades, current medical treatment for COPD only focuses on the relief of symptoms, and the reversal of lung function deterioration and improvement in patient's quality of life are very limited. Consequently, development of novel effective therapeutic strategies for COPD is urgently needed. Stem cells were known to differentiate into a variety of cell types and used to regenerate lung parenchyma and airway structures. Stem cell therapy is a promising therapeutic strategy that has the potential to restore the lung function and improve the quality of life in patients with COPD. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the clinical research on the treatment of COPD with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and aims to update the understanding of the role of MSCs in COPD treatment, which may be helpful for developing effective therapeutic strategies in clinical settings.
