    Airflow obstruction in the lungs stems from chronic inflammation in small airways, leading to lung damage and potential pulmonary vascular issues. This study investigated 150 patients with lung coin lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Airflow obstruction is a common respiratory issue.
    • Coin lesions in the lung often require surgical intervention.
    • Understanding the underlying mechanisms of airflow obstruction is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the structural and functional basis of airflow obstruction in patients with lung coin lesions.
    • To explore the relationship between airway inflammation, lung destruction, and pulmonary vascular changes.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of pulmonary function tests in 150 patients before lung resection.
    • Morphometric analysis of lung or lobe structure.
    • Correlation of inflammatory processes with airway obstruction and lung surface destruction.

    Main Results:

    • Progressive chronic inflammatory reactions in respiratory and membranous bronchioles were identified as the basis for obstructive airways disease.
    • Airway obstruction was associated with lung surface destruction.
    • Early pulmonary vascular problems were linked to progressive airway obstruction, potentially increasing pulmonary artery pressure during exercise.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic inflammation in small airways drives progressive airflow obstruction and lung damage.
    • Airway obstruction may contribute to pulmonary hypertension, particularly during physical exertion.
    • Early identification and management of airway inflammation are vital in patients with coin lesions.
