| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In our COPD prospective observational clinical study, we recruited 82 COPD subjects. Preliminary analysis showed that humoral immunity influence the frequency of COPD exacerbations. The observation period will complete at the end of June 2016, and we will finalize the data and analyze the final data. At the same time, we established the model mouse of the pulmonary emphysema by giving a small amount of proteolytic enzyme in the respiratory tract. We tried to prevent emphysema development by adding elastic fiber synthetic related protein in the lung, however, we could not find strong evidence that our method could prevent emphysema in the whole lung. However, the pathology showed that some destroyed lung field were repaired by new lung cells. We will continue to study this repair process and try to establish new regenerative method in COPD treatment.
