Association of Nutritional Intake with Physical Activity and Handgrip Strength in Individuals with Airflow Limitation
I Re Heo, Tae Hoon Kim, Jong Hwan Jeong, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2025;88(1):120-129.   Published online October 11, 2024
Background: We investigated whether nutritional intake is associated with physical activity (PA) and handgrip strength (HGS) in individuals with airflow limitation. Methods: This study analyzed data from the 2014 and 2016 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We assessed total protein intake (g/day), caloric intake (kcal/day), and other nutritional intakes, using a 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire. HGS was measured three...

Regenerative Capacity of Alveolar Type 2 Cells Is Proportionally Reduced Following Disease Progression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis-Derived Organoid Cultures
Hyeon Kyu Choi, Gaeul Bang, Ju Hye Shin, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2025;88(1):130-137.   Published online September 27, 2024
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive lung disease that culminates in respiratory failure and death due to irreversible scarring of the distal lung. While initially considered a chronic inflammatory disorder, the aberrant function of the alveolar epithelium is now acknowledged as playing a central role in the pathophysiology of IPF. This study aimed to investigate the regenerative...

KEAP1-NRF2 Pathway as a Novel Therapeutic Target for EGFR-Mutant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Jae-Sun Choi, Hye-Min Kang, Kiyong Na, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2025;88(1):138-149.   Published online September 23, 2024
Background: Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1)–nuclear factor erythroid- 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway is a major regulator protecting cells from oxidative and metabolic stress. Studies have revealed that this pathway is involved in mediating resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy and immunotherapy; however, its implications in oncogene-addicted tumors are largely unknown. This study aimed to elucidate whether this pathway could be a...

Diagnostic Accuracy of BD MAX MDR-TB Assay Performed on Bronchoscopy Specimens in Patients with Suspected Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Sung Jun Ko, Kui Hyun Yoon
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2025;88(1):150-158.   Published online September 23, 2024
Background: Several novel molecular platforms using nucleic acid amplification tests have been developed for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and rapid detection of isoniazid and rifampin resistance. Among them, the BD MAX MDR-TB assay (BD MAX) has shown high sensitivity and specificity; however, its diagnostic accuracy performed on bronchoscopy specimens has not been reported. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical...

Clinical Profiles of Multidrug-Resistant and Rifampicin-Monoresistant Tuberculosis in Korea, 2018–2021: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study
Jinsoo Min, Yousang Ko, Hyung Woo Kim, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2025;88(1):159-169.   Published online September 23, 2024
Background: This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of multidrug-resistant/ rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) in the Republic of Korea. Methods: Data of notified people with tuberculosis between July 2018 and December 2021 were retrieved from the Korea Tuberculosis Cohort database. MDR/RR-TB was further categorized according to isoniazid susceptibility as follows: multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), rifampicin-monoresistant tuberculosis (RMR-TB), and RR-TB if susceptibility to...

High-Dose Rifampicin for 3 Months after Culture Conversion for Drug-Susceptible Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Nakwon Kwak, Joong-Yub Kim, Hyung-Jun Kim, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2025;88(1):170-180.   Published online September 27, 2024
Background: This study aimed to determine whether a shorter high-dose rifampicin regimen is non-inferior to the standard 6-month tuberculosis regimen. Methods: This multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial enrolled participants with respiratory specimen positivity by Xpert MTB/RIF assay or Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture without rifampicin-resistance. Participants were randomized at 1:1 to the investigational or control group. The investigational group received high-dose rifampicin (30...

Dry Medical Thoracoscopy with Artificial Pneumothorax Induction Using Veress Needle
Nai-Chien Huan, Sze Shyang Kho, Larry Ellee Nyanti, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2025;88(1):181-189.   Published online November 14, 2024
Background: In the absence of significant pleural effusion, conventional medical thoracoscopy (MT) is often not feasible due to the risk of lung injury. Dry MT mitigates these risks by inducing artificial pneumothorax through needle insufflation or blunt dissection. Although the Veress needle is commonly used by surgeons to create pneumoperitoneum before laparoscopic surgeries, its application in dry MT has not...
