Efficacy of Bailing Capsule on Pulmonary Fibrosis After COVID-19
Pulmonary fibrosis is a sequela of severe infection COVID-19.The prevalence of PCFP ranged from 2% to 45%,and the pathogenesis of PCFP has not been clearly elucidated.The ingredient of Bailing capsule is Cs-C-Q80,it has obvious protective effect on lung. Studies have shown that Bailing capsule may improve the clinical symptoms of PCPF patients through anti-fibrosis, oxidation and anti-inflammatory effects in multiple pathways. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bailing capsule in treating PCFP after COVID-19 infection.

Efficiency Study for Acute Radiation-induced and Chemotherapy-induced Pulmonary Fibrosis With Bevasizumab
Due to the radiosensitivity of the lung, radiation-induced and chemotherapy-induced pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis are frequent happened following cancer therapy. It not only compromise cancer treatment, but also influence patient's life qualities and even death. there are no specific treatment modalities for this treatment-induced complication. Bevasizumab (Avastin), a VEGF inhibitor, can attenuate serum high expression VEGF and pulmonary permeability, maybe effective in the control acute pulmonary fibrosis. Patients will be randomized to receive Bevasizumab (7mg/kg iv) on day one and 21, followed by Dexamethasone (10mg iv d...

End-expiratory Trans-pulmonary Pressure Guided PEEP Titration in Patients With Pulmonary Fibrosis and UIP Pattern Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation
Patients with pulmonary fibrosis and associated usual interstitial pneumonia that require mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure experience poor clinical outcomes. This may be influenced by the unfavorable interaction between the fibrotic lung and the stress and strain stimuli generated during controlled ventilation. Although there is no consensus on how to ventilate these patients, much of the recommendations followed in clinical practice are taken from the experience on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Among these, measuring the esophageal pressures and adjusting positive-end expiatory pressure to make ...

Evaluation of Lung T1-MRI in Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Patients
In this observational study, the investigators evaluate the sensitivity of T1-MRI to identify lung perfusion changes in pediatric patients with CF (age = 6-11) before and after initiating FDA-approved Trikafta therapy. The investigators compare these Lung T1 MRI assessments (% Normal lung perfusion) to currently best-available assessments of lung function in CF patients (i.e., MBW (LCI( and Spirometry (FEV1 % Predicted).

Evaluation of the Value of 18F-Fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO) Positron Emission Tomography Hypoxia Imaging in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, chronic, lethal disease of unknown etiology and with a variable course. There is currently no test in routine care that can assess both the anatomical and functional damage of the disease at an early stage. This is the first human study in IPF to evaluate the value of a non-invasive tracer, 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO), targeting hypoxia in IPF patients. This is a Phase I, proof-of-concept, single-center, open-label, parallel group study. It will include 2 groups: - 1 group of 10 IPF patients - 1 group of 10 healthy volunteers matched to IPF patients for age...

Evolution of Lung 18FDG Uptake in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Receiving Pirfenidone
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare and fatal lung disease characterized by unpredictable changes with variable kinetics of progression. Changes in pulmonary function (FVC, DLCO) assessed at the time of diagnosis, or decline in pulmonary function within 12 months after diagnosis, are the best predictors of survival, but poorly predicted disease activity and evolution. 18FDG positron emission tomography (18FDG PETscan) provides the ability to quantify cell metabolism in vivo and non-invasively using a labeled non-metabolizable substrate. Several parameters can be measured in an automated and reproducible way, such as the...

Exhaled Breath Analysis Using eNose Technology as a Biomarker for Diagnosis and Disease Progression in Fibrotic ILD
The ILDnose study a multinational, multicenter, prospective, longitudinal study in outpatients with pulmonary fibrosis. The aim is to assess the accuracy of eNose technology as diagnostic tool for diagnosis and differentiation between the most prevalent fibrotic interstitial lung diseases. The value of eNose as biomarker for disease progression and response to treatment is also assessed. Besides, validity of several questionnaires for pulmonary fibrosis is investigated.
