Mechanism of TCM Intervention in Protease-Antiprotease Imbalance in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Review
Keywords:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Protease-antiprotease imbalance, Pathogenesis, Clinical trial, Basic experiment, TCM, Research progressAbstract
The pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) involves inflammation, oxidative stress, and protease-antiprotease imbalance. Among these, the protease-antiprotease imbalance is one of the main mechanisms of COPD. Increased protease can damage lung tissue by participating in inflammation, degrading the extracellular matrix, and remodeling the airways. In recent years, a large number of clinical trials and basic studies have been carried out with protease-antiprotease imbalance as a breakthrough point, accumulating fruitful results.
