Factors affecting treatment outcome in patients with idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia: a nationwide cohort study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) is one of the oxysterols, which are oxidized derivatives of cholesterol, and has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. In lung, the possible involvement of 25-HC in airway diseases has been revealed. In the present study, we...
