The Attitudes of Pulmonologists Regarding Smoking Behavior of Their Patients with Advanced COPD: A Qualitative Research.

abstract：:Etiological evidence demonstrates that there is a significant association between cigarette smoking and chronic airway inflammatory disease. Abnormal expression of placental growth factor (PlGF) has been reported in COPD, and its downstream signaling molecules have been reported to contribute to the pathogenesis of ai...
