Icala Lokuqala Ukusebenzisa Amandla Angashisa Amanzi E-Bronchitis Engapheli

I-Gala Therapeutics, Inc., umthuthukisi wemishini yezokwelapha yokwelapha isifo samaphaphu, namuhla umemezele izinqubo zokuqala zokuhweba emhlabeni wonke usebenzisa uhlelo lwe-RheOx® Bronchial Rheoplasty yokwelapha izimpawu ze-bronchitis engapheli. Amacala okuqala e-Bronchial Rheoplasty enziwa nguProfesa Stefano Gasparini, esibhedlela sasePolytechnic University of Marche, kanye noDkt. Lina Zuccatosta, uMqondisi wePulmonary Diseases Unit, University Hospital Ancona e-Ancona, e-Italy. UDkt. Michela Bezzi, uMqondisi we-Interventional Pulmonology, i-University Hospital Brescia e-Brescia, e-Italy, naye welapha iziguli ezimweni zokuhweba ngesonto lokuqala.         

I-RheOx iwuhlelo olusha oluletha amandla e-non-thermal pulsed electric field (PEF) emigwaqweni yomoya yamaphaphu ukuze kuncishiswe amaseli akhiqiza amafinyila. Iwumshini wokuqala wezokwelapha otholakalayo ukudayiswa eYurophu ukwelapha izimpawu ze-bronchitis engapheli.

“Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwengu-30 ngabona iziguli ezine-bronchitis engapheli zihlushwa ukukhwehlela njalo, ukukhiqizwa kwamafinyila ngokweqile, nokulinganiselwa kwezinga lempilo yazo, kodwa besingenaso isixazululo sokuzisiza,” kuchaza uProf. Gasparini, naye owathi. uyiPhini likaSihlalo, i-World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology. “Uhlelo lwe-RheOx luyintuthuko enkulu ekulawulweni kweziguli ezine-bronchitis engapheli. Kuyinqubo enembile, ehlasela kancane engikholwa ukuthi izoshintsha ukwelashwa kwe-bronchitis engapheli. Ngijabule ngokuba ngowokuqala emhlabeni ukunikeza iziguli i-bronchial rheoplasty ukuze zithuthukise izinga lempilo yazo.”

I-bronchitis engapheli, i-phenotype ye-COPD, ithinta cishe i-3-16% yabantu emhlabeni jikelele.1 Iziguli zithola ukuvuvukala isikhathi eside kanye namafinyila amaningi emigwaqweni yomoya yamaphaphu, okubangela ukukhwehlela okukhulu, ukuphefumula, ubuhlungu besifuba kanye nokuphefumula.2 I-bronchitis engapheli. ingakhula ngemva kokuchayeka entuthwini kagwayi, i-vaping, amakhemikhali asemoyeni, nezinye izinto ezingcolisayo nezinto ezicasulayo. Ukwelashwa kwamanje kuqondiswe ku-bronchodilation nokunciphisa ukuvuvukala, ngaphandle kokubhekana nembangela yokukhiqizwa ngokweqile kwe-mucus.

"Sijabule ukwethula uhlelo lwe-RheOx eYurophu lweziguli eziphethwe yi-bronchitis engapheli, futhi sesivele sibona isidingo esinamandla esivela emphakathini wezokwelapha," kusho uJonathan Waldstreicher, MD, oyi-CEO ye-Gala Therapeutics. "Sizoqhubeka nokwethula ukwelashwa kwezinye izikhungo zokuphefumula zase-Europe ezisezingeni eliphezulu ezinyangeni ezizayo ngenkathi kanyekanye senza ucwaningo olubalulekile lomhlaba wonke lwe-RheSolve ukuze sisekele ukugunyazwa kwe-FDA."
