摘要
吸烟是肺气肿的重要危险因素,同时也与多种问质性肺病的发病密切相关。一部分吸烟者肺部影像可以同时存在下肺野纤维化和上肺野肺气肿,目前认为这种临床特征是一种独立的疾病,称作肺纤维化合并肺气肿。这部分患者肺功能表现为肺容积相对正常而弥散能力显著下降.而且肺动脉高压发生率较高。但该病的发病机制不清楚,有效的治疗策略和预后判断有待进一步研究。
Smoking is the principal risk factor for emphysema, and may be also associated with many kinds of interstitial lung diseases. The co-existence of lower lung fibrosis and upper lung emphysema is being increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical entity in some smokers, so called combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema(CPFE). CPFE can be presented by relatively normal lung volume, however, impairment of gas exchange is severe. A high prevalence of pulmonary hypertension is seen in CPFE. The pathogenesis of CPFE is not known, so further studies need to explore effective treatment strategy and prognosis judgement.
