Efficacy and Safety of Two Glucocorticoid Regimens in the Treatment of Sarcoidosis
For pulmonary sarcoidosis, the initial dose recommended by the joint statement of the American Thoracic Society (ATS), European Respiratory Society (ERS), and The World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Disorders (WASOG) is 20-40 mg per day.5 The exact dose and duration of treatment for sarcoidosis are unknown.4 We hypothesize that a higher dose of 40 mg per day as compared to a 20 mg/day dose of prednisone will be more effective in preventing post-treatment relapse by effective initial suppression of the granulomatous inflammation and reduction of the disease load. In this study, we compare the efficacy and safety of...

Efficacy of Weekly Rifapentine and Isoniazid for Tuberculosis Prevention
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most important infectious disease in the world. Preventive treatment plays an important role in successful control of TB. For preventive therapy, the three-month (12-dose) regimen of weekly rifapentine and isoniazid (3RPT/INH) are now recommended by WHO for its non-inferiority, safety and convenience compared with 6~9 months regimen of daily isoniazid monotherapy or 3~4 months daily rifampicin monotherapy. And the treatment completion rate is higher compared with daily regimen. However, relevant study is lacking in China where the TB burden is high with the incidence rate of 70/100, 000. And the provision of...

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 1-10, then...

Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Cohort
EGPA (Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, previously Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare vasculitis, characterised by asthma, rhinosinusitis and eosinophilia. There has previously been confusion around diagnostic criteria, with multiple sets of classification criteria being used inappropriately for diagnosis. The ERS formed a taskforce to produce specific diagnostic criteria, and these divided the Churg-Strauss Syndrome cohort into two groups - vasculitic EGPA and tissular Hypereosinophilic Asthma with Systemic Manifestations (HASM). It is not known if the groups separated by the diagnostic criteria are also separated in clinical...

Epigenetic Regulation of Altered T-cell Immunity in Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a multi-system granulomatous disorder that is triggered and influenced by gene-environment interactions. Although sarcoidosis predominantly affects the lungs in most cases, the clinical disease course is highly variable and any organ can be affected leading to end organ damage despite currently available therapeutics that unfortunately also have numerous and potentially devastating side effects. The environmental triggers of sarcoidosis are unknown but several occupational, environmental and infectious agents have been associated with sarcoidosis in susceptible hosts. Exposure to these triggers result in inflammation,...
