Are tc17 cells associated with cigarette smoke-induced lung inflammation and emphysema?
Long-term cigarette smoke exposure induced Tc17 cell expansion both locally and distally, which was associated with emphysema and deoxyribonucleic acid damage. As an important source of IL-17A, this T cell subset may be a potential target for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease therapy.
The present data suggest that the Rose questionnaire as a diagnostic tool for angina is not predictive of subsequent clinical events among treated hypertensive patients.
