Background
We sought to address whether CF macrophages have a primary functional defect as a consequence of CFTR loss and thus contribute to the onset of infection and inflammation observed in CF lung disease.Methods
Monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) were prepared from newborn CF and non-CF pigs. CFTR mRNA expression was quantified by rtPCR and anion channel function was determined using whole cell patch clamp analysis. IL8 and TNFα release from MDMs in response to lipopolysaccharide stimulation was measured by ELISA.Results
CFTR was expressed in MDMs by Q-rtPCR at a lower level than in epithelial cells. MDMs exhibited functional CFTR current at the cell membrane and this current was absent in CF MDMs. CF MDMs demonstrated an exaggerated response to lipopolysaccharide stimulation.Conclusions
In the absence of CFTR function, macrophages from newborn CF pigs exhibit an increased inflammatory response to a lipopolysaccharide challenge. This may contribute to the onset and progression of CF lung disease. 相似文献2.

Background
Early antimicrobial chemotherapy can prevent or at least delay chronic cystic fibrosis (CF) airways infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Methods
During a 10-year study period P. aeruginosa was detected for the first time in 54 CF patients regularly seen at the CF centre Hannover. Amplicon sequencing of 34 loci of the P. aeruginosa core genome was performed in baseline and post-treatment isolates of the 15 CF patients who had remained P. aeruginosa – positive after the first round of antipseudomonal chemotherapy.Results
Deep sequencing uncovered coexisting alternative nucleotides at in total 33 of 55,284 examined genome positions including six non-synonymous polymorphisms in the lasR gene, a key regulator of quorum sensing. After early treatment 42 of 50 novel nucleotide substitutions had emerged in exopolysaccharide biosynthesis, efflux pump and porin genes.Conclusions
Early treatment selects pathoadaptive mutations in P. aeruginosa that are typical for chronic infections of CF lungs. 相似文献3.

Background
Airway surfactant is impaired in cystic fibrosis (CF) and associated with declines in pulmonary function. We hypothesized that surfactant dysfunction in CF is due to an excess of cholesterol with an interaction with oxidation.Methods
Surfactant was extracted from bronchial lavage fluid from children with CF and surface tension, and lipid content, inflammatory cells and microbial flora were determined. Dysfunctional surfactant samples were re-tested with a lipid-sequestering agent, methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD).Results
CF surfactant samples were unable to sustain a normal low surface tension. MβCD restored surfactant function in a majority of samples.Mechanistic studies showed that the dysfunction was due to a combination of elevated cholesterol and an interaction with oxidized phospholipids and their pro-inflammatory hydrolysis products.Conclusion
We confirm that CF patients have impaired airway surfactant function which could be restored with MβCD. These findings have implications for improving lung function and mitigating inflammation in patients with CF. 相似文献4.

Background
Adequate nutrition is essential for growth in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). The new CF Foundation Clinical Practice Guidelines bring attention to monitoring macronutrient intake as well as total energy.Methods
Dietary intake of 75 preschool children with CF and pancreatic insufficiency was examined and compared to the Clinical Practice Guidelines. Regression analyses examined relationships between macronutrient intake and growth.Results
Approximately 45% of children met the 110% minimum recommended dietary allowance (RDA) recommendation. Children consumed 35.3% (6.1) of total daily energy intake from fat, 12.7% (1.7) from protein, and 52.0% (6.1) from carbohydrates. Percent energy from protein was associated with height growth.Conclusions
Many preschoolers with CF are not meeting nutrition benchmarks for total energy and fat. To optimize nutrition early, dietary monitoring with frequent individualized feedback is needed. Optimizing intake of macronutrients that promote growth, especially fat and protein, should be a primary clinical target. 相似文献6.

Background
Beliefs about medication have been associated with adherence in other diseases but there are no existing disease-specific medication beliefs questionnaires for CF. This mixed-methods validated the Cystic Fibrosis Medication Belief Questionnaire (CF-MBQ), based on social cognitive theory.Methods
Based on previous research, items were developed for five domains: motivation, self-efficacy, perceived importance, and decisional balance to take or miss medications. Cognitive interviews were conducted with 15 adult patients with CF to refine item development. 128 patients with CF completed an online survey and objective medication adherence was measured using pharmacy refill data.Results
The five subscales demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with adequate-to-good internal consistency scores. More importantly, each domain demonstrated construct validity with adherence.Conclusions
These theoretically-derived measures may be important for clinical purposes to provide guidance on appropriate interventions to improve adherence and for research to provide enhanced understanding on patient determinants of medication adherence. 相似文献7.

Background
Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC, Scnn1) hyperactivity in the lung leads to airway surface dehydration and mucus accumulation in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and in mice with CF-like lung disease.Methods
We identified several potent ENaC specific antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and tested them by inhalation in mouse models of CF-like lung disease.Results
The inhaled ASOs distributed into lung airway epithelial cells and decreased ENaC expression by inducing RNase H1-dependent degradation of the targeted Scnn1a mRNA. Aerosol delivered ENaC ASO down-regulated mucus marker expression and ameliorated goblet cell metaplasia, inflammation, and airway hyper-responsiveness. Lack of systemic activity of ASOs delivered via the aerosol route ensures the safety of this approach.Conclusions
Our results demonstrate that antisense inhibition of ENaC in airway epithelial cells could be an effective and safe approach for the prevention and reversal of lung symptoms in CF and potentially other inflammatory diseases of the lung. 相似文献8.

Background
We assessed the effect of posture on ventilation distribution and the impact on associations with structural lung disease.Methods
Multiple breath washout (MBW) was performed in seated and supine postures in 25 healthy children and 21 children with CF. Children with CF also underwent a chest CT scan. Functional residual capacity (FRC), lung clearance index (LCI) and moment ratios were calculated from the MBW test. CT scans were evaluated for CF-related structural lung disease.Results
FRC was lower in the supine than in the seated posture, whereas LCI was higher in the supine than in the seated posture. In children with CF, associations between LCI and the extent of structural lung disease were stronger when performed in the supine posture.Conclusions
Body posture influences lung volumes and ventilation distribution in both healthy children and children with CF. MBW testing in the supine posture strengthened associations with structural lung damage. 相似文献9.

Background
Comparability of multiple breath washout (MBW) systems has been little explored. We assessed agreement in lung clearance index (LCI) from two similar, commercial nitrogen MBW setups in patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and controls.Methods
The EasyOne Pro (NDD) and Exhalyzer D (EM) were randomly applied in 85 adults (34 with CF) and 97 children (47 with CF and normal forced expiratory volume in one second). We assessed differences between setups in LCI, lung volumes and breathing pattern and diagnostic performance for detecting abnormal lung function.Results
Compared to NDD, EM measured higher LCI, functional residual capacity and cumulative expired volume while respiratory rate was lower. Mean difference (limits of agreement) in LCI was 1.30 (? 2.34 to 4.94). In CF, prevalence of abnormal LCI was greater in children and similar in adults using EM compared to NDD.Conclusions
Agreement of MBW outcomes between setups is poor and explained by nitrogen measurement techniques and breathing pattern. 相似文献10.
Background
Cystic fibrosis (CF, mucoviscidosis) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which is a chloride and bicarbonate channel necessary for fluid secretion and extracellular alkalization. For a long time, research concentrated on abnormal Cl- and Na+ transport, but neglected bicarbonate as a crucial factor in CF.Methods
The present short review reports early findings as well as recent insights into the role of CFTR for bicarbonate transport and its defects in CF.Results
The available data indicate impaired bicarbonate transport not only in pancreas, intestine, airways, and reproductive organs, but also in salivary glands, sweat duct and renal tubular epithelial cells. Defective bicarbonate transport is closely related to the impaired mucus properties and mucus blocking in secretory organs of CF patients, causing the life threatening lung disease.Conclusions
Apart from the devastating lung disease, abrogated bicarbonate transport also leads to many other organ dysfunctions, which are outlined in the present review. 相似文献11.

Background
An increasing body of research investigating the use of probiotics to improve health outcomes in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) prompted the need to systematically assess and summarise the relevant literature.Methods
An electronic search of five databases and three trial databases was conducted. Studies describing the administration of probiotics to patients with CF older than 2 years, with a comparator group on respiratory, gastrointestinal and nutritional outcomes were included.Results
Three pre–post studies and six randomised controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Overall studies showed a positive effect of probiotics on reducing the number of pulmonary exacerbations and decreasing gastrointestinal inflammation. There was limited effect of probiotics on other outcomes and inadequate evidence for the effects of specific probiotic species and strains.Conclusion
The findings suggest that probiotics may improve respiratory and gastrointestinal outcomes in a stable CF clinic population with no reported evidence of harm. There is inadequate evidence at this time to recommend a specific species, strain or dose of probiotic as likely to be of significant benefit. 相似文献12.

Background
Therapeutic progress in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has resulted in improved prognosis over the past decades. We aim to reevaluate prognostic factors of CF and provide a prognostic score to predict the risk of death or lung transplantation (LT) within a 3-year period in adult patients.Methods
We developed a logistic model using data from the French CF Registry and combined the coefficients into a prognostic score. The discriminative abilities of the model and the prognostic score were assessed by c-statistic. The prognostic score was validated using a 10-fold cross-validation.Results
The risk of death or LT within 3 years was related to eight characteristics. The development and the validation provided excellent results for the prognostic score; the c-statistic was 0.91 and 0.90 respectively.Conclusion
The score developed to predict 3-year death or LT in adults with CF might be useful for clinicians to identify patients requiring specialized evaluation for LT. 相似文献13.

Background
Mycobacterium abscessus infection is associated with declining lung function in cystic fibrosis (CF), but there is little evidence on clinical efficacy to guide treatment.Methods
Retrospective review of 37 CF patients treated for M. abscessus respiratory infection at a single center from 2006 to 2014. Outcomes included change in FEV1 at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 365 days after treatment and clearance of M. abscessus from sputum cultures.Results
Lung function was significantly improved after 30 and 60 days of treatment, but not at later time points. Gains were inversely related to starting lung function. Antibiotic choices did not influence outcomes except for greater clearance with clarithromycin.Conclusions
Treatment of M. abscessus resulted in short term improvement in lung function that is inversely related to pre-treatment FEV1. 相似文献14.

Background
Disseminated fungal infections are a known serious complication in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) following orthotopic lung transplantation. Aspergillus fumigatus and Scedosporium species are among the more common causes of invasive fungal infection in this population. However, it is also important for clinicians to be aware of other emerging fungal species which may require markedly different antifungal therapies.Case summary
We describe the first laboratory-documented case of a fatal disseminated fungal infection caused by Rasamsonia aegroticola in a 21-year-old female CF patient status post-bilateral lung transplantation, which was only identified post-mortem. Molecular analysis revealed the presence of the identical Rasamsonia strains in the patient's respiratory cultures preceding transplantation.Discussion
We propose that the patient's disseminated fungal disease and death occurred as a result of recrudescence of Rasamsonia infection from her native respiratory system in the setting of profound immunosuppression post-operatively. Since Rasamsonia species have been increasingly recovered from the respiratory tract of CF patients, we further review the literature on these fungi and discuss their association with invasive fungal infections in the CF lung transplant host.Conclusion
Our report suggests Rasamsonia species may be important fungal pathogens that may have fatal consequences in immunosuppressed CF patients after solid organ transplantation. 相似文献16.

Background
The diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is by consensus based on the same parameters in all patients, yet the influence of ethnicity has only scarcely been studied. We aimed at elucidating the impact of Asian descent on the diagnosis of CF.Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of the CFTR2 and UK CF databases for clinical phenotype, sweat chloride values and CFTR mutations and compared the diagnostic characteristics of Asian to non-Asian patients with CF.Results
Asian patients with CF do not have a worse clinical phenotype. The repeatedly reported lower FEV1 of Asian patients with CF is attributable to the influence of ethnicity on lung function in general. However, pancreatic sufficiency is more common in Asian patients with CF. The diagnosis of CF in people with Asian ancestry is heterogeneous as mean sweat chloride values are lower (92 ± 26 versus 99 ± 22 mmol/L in controls) and 14% have sweat chloride values below 60 mmol/L (versus 6% in non-Asians). Also, CFTR mutations differ from those in Caucasians: 55% of British Asian patients with CF do not have one mutation included in the routine newborn screening panel.Conclusions
Bringing together the largest cohort of patients with CF and Asian ethnicity, we demonstrate that Asian roots impact on all three CF diagnostic pillars. These findings have implications for clinical practice in the increasingly ethnically diverse Western population. 相似文献18.

Objective
To investigate the short-term adverse events and effectiveness of lumacaftor/ivacaftor combination treatment in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) and severe lung disease in a real life setting.Methods
A multicentre observational study investigated adverse events, treatment discontinuation, FEV1 and body mass index (BMI) one month and three months after lumacaftor/ivacaftor initiation in adults with CF and FEV1 below 40% predicted.Results
Respiratory adverse events (AEs) were reported by 27 of 53 subjects (51%) and 16 (30%) discontinued treatment. The mean absolute change in FEV1 was + 2.06% after one month of treatment (P = 0.086) and + 3.19% after 3 months (P = 0.009). BMI was unchanged.Conclusions
Treatment with lumacaftor/ivacaftor in patients with CF and severe lung disease was discontinued more frequently than reported in clinical trials, due to respiratory AEs. Nevertheless, the patients who continued treatment had an increase in lung function comparable to what was observed in pivotal trials. 相似文献19.

Background
New CFTR modulators are in development that sponsors anticipate will be comparable or superior to approved modulators. Testing these agents for efficacy will require either placebo-controlled or active-comparator trials.Methods
We surveyed US CF physicians and their patients eligible to receive approved modulators or their families for willingness to participate in placebo-controlled modulator trials of varying duration.Results
Interest in placebo-controlled trials of short duration (2–4 weeks) was greatest, with few respondents, particularly among patient respondents, willing to consider 6 month studies. Patients/families with access to approved modulators were consistently less interested in placebo-controlled modulator trials of any duration.Conclusions
Sample size and interpretability advantages of placebo-controlled trials outweigh alternative active-comparator trials, but must consider physician and patient thresholds for forgoing treatment with approved modulators. Enrollment will be most feasible for short-duration trials and those conducted among populations without access to approved modulators. 相似文献20.
