Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Cigarette smoking and ambient air pollution are common risk factors for COPD and lung cancer. However, the underlying mechanism between COPD prevalence and lung cancer is remained elusive.

The model rats developed COPD-like phenotypes, manifested as lung functions declin...
