Can HRCT be used as a marker of airway remodelling in children with difficult asthma? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Whole airway wall thickening on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is reported to parallel thickening of the bronchial epithelial reticular basement membrane (RBM) in adult asthmatics. A similar relationship in children with difficult

Urinary CC16 after challenge with dry air hyperpnoea and mannitol in recreational summer athletes [PDF]
Airway epithelial injury is regarded as a key contributing factor to the pathogenesis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in athletes. The concentration of the pneumoprotein club cell (Clara cell) CC16 in urine has been found to be a non ...

The Endogenous Th17 Response in NO
Severe, glucocorticoid-resistant asthma comprises 5-7% of patients with asthma. IL-17 is a biomarker of severe asthma, and the adoptive transfer of Th17 cells in mice is sufficient to induce glucocorticoid-resistant allergic airway disease.

BackgroundThe dysbiosis of respiratory microbiota plays an important role in asthma development. However, there is limited information on the changes in the respiratory microbiota and how these affect the host during the progression from acute allergic ...

Effect of corticosteroids and long-acting ß2- agonists in a human cell culture based "in vitro" model of airway inflammation and tissue remodeling [PDF]
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterized by chronic airway inflammation and remodeling. In non-pathological conditions tissue homeostasis is maintained by the balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and ...

Analysis of Differentially Expressed MicroRNAs in OVA-induced Airway Remodeling Model Mice
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can participate in airway remodeling by regulating immune molecule expression. Here, we aimed to identify the differential miRNAs involved in airway remodeling. Airway remodeling was induced by ovalbumin in female BALB/C mice.

Clinical relevance of airway remodelling in airway diseases [PDF]
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterised by airflow obstruction, airway remodelling (measurable structural change) and inflammation. The present review will examine the relationship between airway remodelling in these two conditions with respect to symptoms, abnormal lung function, airway hyperresponsiveness and decline

Aldose reductase inhibition prevents allergic airway remodeling through PI3K/AKT/GSK3β pathway in mice. [PDF]
Long-term and unresolved airway inflammation and airway remodeling, characteristic features of chronic asthma, if not treated could lead to permanent structural changes in the airways.

Role of Abl in airway hyperresponsiveness and airway remodeling [PDF]
Asthma is a chronic disease that is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness and airway remodeling. The underlying mechanisms that mediate the pathological processes are not fully understood. Abl is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase that has a role in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction and smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro. The
