Their professional holiday - Day pulmonologist   Representatives noted that narrow, but very important specialty in medicine.

This Tuesday, May 17 Congratulations on your professional holiday taken pulmonologists the country on the eve of Spanish scientists who have carried out a number of important discoveries.

The baton for the study of genes of cancer cells after British scientists who discovered the breast cancer genes , Picked up the research team led by Ricardo Bastos, researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Research (IDIBAPS), Barcelona (Spain). A team of researchers studied the effects of tobacco smoke lungs   smoker and got some interesting results. It turns out that light smoker are subject to change at the genetic level in the same way as a patient with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The study examined samples of lung tissue of smokers, lung cancer patients, and patients undergoing surgery for lung transplantation. Based on these studies, the scientists concluded that the functioning lung tissue affects a particular type of protein . The protein   It stands in severe lung diseases and smoking for a long time. Which ultimately leads to changes in the structure of the tissue and in the vascular system of the lungs.

Scientists continue to develop its theory and soon, as the authors claim, they will be able to move far ahead in the treatment of diseases such as the lungs cancer . bronchial asthma   and other severe chronic diseases of the respiratory system.

Studies confirm once again that primary cause of cancers of the lung - is smoking. Light smoker with the experience of their genetic structure similar to the light of a cancer patient.
