Elevation of sputum matrix metalloproteinase-9 persists up to 6 months after smoking cessation: a research study
BACKGROUND: Smoking cessation is the best possible way to prevent the progression of smoking related airway diseases. However, the effect and time scale of smoking cessation on airway inflammation/remodelling are largely unknown. This prospective study evaluated the effects of smoking cessation on i...
