RESUMEN
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and ultimately fatal chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by a progressive decline in lung function, and current treatment options are limited. cAMP is one of the most important second messengers and plays a key role in relaxing airway smooth muscle cells and reducing inflammation. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is a superfamily of enzymes, and PDE4 enzymes dominate 11 PDE superfamily enzymes, available in four isoforms-PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C and PDE4D, which selectively decompose cAMP, while PDE4 inhibitors increase cAMP levels by preventing cAMP from breaking down, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, anti-remodeling effects and providing an attractive drug target for the treatment of IPF. This review summarizes knowledge about the association of pulmonary fibrosis with PKE4, as well as emerging preclinical studies and clinical trials regarding PDE4 inhibitors.

RESUMEN
IPF is a chronic progressive interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology and poor prognosis, and despite receive treatment, most patients consideration are likely to progress or worsen. Integrins are heterodimer cell surface proteins that are promising therapeutic targets for intervention in pulmonary fibrosis. Alphav integrins are central to the development of fibrosis because they activate latent TGF-β, a known pro-fibrosis cytokine. The alphav subunit may form heterodimers with the β1, β3, β5, β6, or β8 subunits, one or more of which are essential for the development of pulmonary fibrosis, but their relative importance is unclear. This review summarizes the knowledge of the association of pulmonary fibrosis with alpha-val-integrins, as well as emerging preclinical studies and clinical trials of alpha-fibrosis inhibitors.
RESUMEN
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive disease with unknown etiology, which is characterized by scarring of lung parenchyma, leading to reduced quality of life and premature death. At present, some studies have confirmed that hypothyroidism (HT) may play a role in the development of fibrosis. Many animal experiments have proved that thyroid hormone (TH) can inhibit pulmonary fibrosis by regulating glucose metabolism, improving mitochondrial function and inhibiting inflammation. This paper summarizes the correlation between TH and IPF, and deeply understands the relationship between TH and IPF, in order to have new treatment strategies for IPF in the future.
RESUMEN
Objective To understand the level of compassion satisfaction of medical oncology nurses and to explore the mediating effect of resilience in the relationship between empathy ability and compassion satisfaction of medical oncology nurses, and to investigate the moderating effect of social support in this mediating role. Methods A total of 291 medical oncology nurses from 7 general hospitals in Dalian were measured with self-made general questionnaire, professional quality of life scale, Chinese version of Jefferson empathy scale, perceived social support scale and Ego-Resiliency Scale. Results The scores of compassion satisfaction of medical oncology nurses was (34.79 ± 5.87).Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between empathy, resilience, social support and compassion satisfaction (r=0.222- 0.402, P<0.01). Resilience partially mediated the relationship between empathy ability and compassion satisfaction, the value of mediating effect was 23.1% of the total effect. The effect of resilience and compassion satisfaction among medical oncology nurses was also moderated by social support, that is, social support regulates the latter half of the process of empathy, resilience and compassion satisfaction. The higher the level of social support, the stronger the mediating effect of empathy through resilience on compassion satisfaction. Conclusions The level of compassion satisfaction of medical oncology nurses in Dalian is low and needs to be improved. The are close relationships among empathy ability, resilience, social support and compassion satisfaction. It is a moderated mediating effect model. It is suggested that managers should pay attention to the role of psychological resilience and provide high-level social support to improve the level of compassion satisfaction of medical oncology nurses.

Objective To validate the discriminatory capacity of the new ankylosing spondylitis disease activity scores (ASDAS) in Chinese ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, and assess its clinical value. Method One hundred and twenty-nine patients with AS was included in the study, in which 87 were par-ticipat clinical trials with Etanercept (n=87) and 42 were participants of clinical trails with. The disease activity and treatment effecticacy were assessed by ASDAS, BASDAI and patient global assessment. Discriminatory ability of all the measures was analyzed as standardized mean difference (SMD) and (-score. Pearson's correlation, two indepen -dent samples t test and simple linear regression model were used for statistical analysis. Result The four ASDAS scores correlated well with patient global assessment (r=0.56～0.74), ESR (r=0.50～0.80) and CRP (r=0.50～0.69) both at baseline and the changes form baseline to 6 weeks after treatment. The four ASDAS outperformed BASDAI, patient global assessment, ESR and CRP in differentiating patients with different levels of disease activity and patients with different levels of change. There was little difference in performance between the four ASDAS versions. Conclusion The four ASDAS are highly discriminatory in evaluating the disease activity and the efficacy of drugs in Chinese AS patients, showing a significant value in clinical practice.
