Impact of Burkholderia dolosa on lung function and survival in cystic fibrosis.

abstract：RATIONALE:HIV-1-induced interstitial pneumonitis (IP) is a serious complication of HIV-1 infection, characterized by inflammation and cellular infiltration in lungs, often leading to respiratory failure and death. The barrier function of the pulmonary endothelium is caused in part by tight junction (TJ) proteins, such ...
