https://www.selleckchem.com/products/th-302.html Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) is a special subtype of interstitial lung disease that has received worldwide attention. Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) and surfactant protein-A (SP-A) can be used as an important biomarker of interstitial lung disease, but its exact relationship with IPAF is poorly understood.A total of 65 IPAF patients were included in the study and were followed up for 52 weeks. The KL-6 and SP-A were evaluated by chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay. The above indicators were tested at 2 time points, baseline (the first admission of patients) and 52 weeks. We also collected the indicators of antinuclear antibodies and rheumatoid factor. Based on high-resolution computed tomography evaluations, patients were divided into aggravation, stable, and improvement group. At same time, 30 age-matched normal people as normal control were recruited, the same information was collected. Correlations among the groups were compared and analyzed.The KL-6 and SP-A level in IPAF patie23.8% and 20.6%, both P  less then  .05). There was a significant correlation between KL-6 and FVC % predicted and DLCO (both P  less then  .05), SP-A showed negatively correlated with DLCO, but not significantly correlated with FVC % predicted (P  less then  .05 and .47).This study demonstrated that KL-6 and SP-A can reflect disease progression, and both 2 play a key role at reflection of lung epithelial cell injury and fibrosis degree in IPAF. Currently, minute structures, such as cervical nerve roots, can be viewed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences; however, studies comparing multiple sequences in the same set of patients are rare. The aim of the study is to compare the diagnostic values of three 3.0-T MRI sequences used in the imaging of cervical nerve roots.This study included 2 phases. In the first phase (n = 45 patients), the most optimal MRI sequence was determined. In the second phase, this M
