SF Journal of Pulmonology and Respiration Care

ABOUT JOURNAL

SF Journal of Pulmonology and Respiration Care focuses on research and clinical advances in respiratory medicine, pulmonary diseases, and comprehensive respiratory care. The journal provides a forum for pulmonologists, respiratory physicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals investigating disorders that affect the lungs, airways, and respiratory system.

The journal covers areas including obstructive and restrictive lung diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung diseases, respiratory infections, pulmonary hypertension, sleep-related breathing disorders, critical care, respiratory failure, bronchoscopic procedures, pulmonary function testing, respiratory physiology, and advances in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to pulmonary disease.

The journal welcomes all types of scholarly manuscripts relevant to pulmonology and respiratory care, including original research, review articles, systematic reviews, clinical studies, case reports, case series, diagnostic studies, methodological contributions, brief reports, and other scientifically valuable work. The journal seeks to support evidence-based respiratory practice and improvements in pulmonary health and patient outcomes.

Editorial

Tobacco Use Accelerates Biological and Functional Lung Aging

Rouatbi S^*

Keywords Lung aging; Tobacco; FEV1; FENO; DLCO Editorial The lung has two main functions. The first is respiratory function dependent on ventilatory mechanics and gas exchange, which is well correlated with the possibilities of using oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (the respiratory quotient) [1]. The second is non-respiratory functions represented by metabolic, immunological, and endocrine ones. Pulmonary aging will result in reduced efficiency of all these functions [1,2].

Lung Aging Related to Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Biogenesis in COPD Patients

Amani S^*, Ines S, Bernard G and Sonia R

Aims: To identify the physiological and pathological (COPD) non-respiratory lung aging by determining gene expression changes in the airways of genes encoding antioxidants and of mitochondrial biogenesis' markers. Methods: Three groups were recruited: group I (7 healthy-young-controls, mean age=36.8 years), group II (10 healthy-elderly, mean age=68.7 years) and group III (10 elderly-COPD, mean age=68.7

Clinical and Imaging Characteristics of Imported and Domestic COVID-19 Cases: A Report from a Shanghai Screening Hospital

Peng L^#, Zhou YZ^#, Miao YF, Li XN, Xue F and Zhou C^*

Background: Since the first case of unexplained pneumonia has been reported in December 2019, Wuhan, Hubei, China, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been well controlled in China. But the increasingly serious overseas epidemic situation has led to an increasing number of imported cases abroad. Objective: To investigate whether there are differences in clinical and imaging manifestations
