Serum PARC/CCL18 and Lung Function
Ninety-eight recruited patients were divided into emphysema group and non-emphysema group according to lung CT results. As Figure 5 shows, PARC/CCL18 levels were higher in the emphysema patients than non-emphysema patients in COPD (184.4 vs 117.0 ng/mL, p=0.048). Consistently, PARC/CCL18 levels were significantly associated with TLC (r=0.46, p=0.001) and RV/TLC (r=0.34, p=0.020). Compared with non-emphysema group, there were more males (57 vs 21, p
