Microbial‐Metabolite Signatures Are Associated With Glucocorticoid Responsiveness in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) exhibit heterogeneous responses to oral glucocorticoids (GCs), but the biological basis of this variability remains unclear. Objective To identify gut microbiome‒plasma metabolomic signatures associated with GC responsiveness in CRSwNP patients and to compare their ...

Research progress on the role of airway epithelial-mesenchymal transition in airway remodeling in asthma

open access: yesGuangxi Yike Daxue xuebao
Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation, reversible airflow limitation and airway remodeling. Airway remodeling is the key pathological basis for the progression of mild asthma to severe and refractory ...

Functional Specialization of Respiratory and Olfactory Mucus Revealed by Proteomic Profiling

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mucus overlies the nasal mucosa in the respiratory and olfactory regions, which perform distinct physiological functions. However, proteomic differences between respiratory mucosa (RM) and olfactory cleft (OC) mucus remain unclear.

Radiological Approach to Asthma and COPD-The Role of Computed Tomography

open access: yesAllergology International, 2009
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are among the most prevalent lung diseases. In both asthma and COPD, airway inflammation leads to airway remodeling. Parenchyma of the lung is also influenced by disease conditions.

Mepacrine treatment attenuates allergic airway remodeling segregated from airway inflammation in mice

open access: yes, 2011

Poly(I:C)‐Activated Nasal Fibroblasts Promote Eosinophil Recruitment in CRSwNP

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by persistent mucosal inflammation and eosinophilic infiltration. Although epithelial and immune cells have been widely studied, the role of nasal fibroblasts in innate immune activation and eosinophil recruitment remains unclear.

Olfactory Function in Cystic Fibrosis: Outcome Measures, Olfactory Dysfunction Prevalence and the Impact of Management—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is an increasingly recognized but under‐investigated comorbidity of cystic fibrosis (CF). Its prevalence, assessment methods, and response to CF‐directed treatment, including highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT) remains incompletely characterized.

Low-Dose Azithromycin Attenuates OVA-Induced Airway Remodeling and Inflammation via Down-Regulating TGF-βl Expression in RAT

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inflammation, 2013
Asthma is characteristic with chronic airway inflammation and remodeling. Azithromycin (AZM), the 15-member macrolide, is known to present an anti-inflammatory effect and is increasingly being used in the treatment of chronic inflammatory pulmonary ...

Assessing the Mucosal Inflammatory Endotype of Obesity in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory syndrome of the paranasal sinuses that is defined phenotypically as either with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). More recently, inflammatory markers have been used to cluster patients into putative endotypes that are presumed to have a common ...
