Hyperresponsiveness to inhaled but not intravenous methacholine during acute respiratory syncytial virus infection in mice

Respiratory Research, 2005
Background To characterise the acute physiological and inflammatory changes induced by low-dose RSV infection in mice. Methods BALB/c mice were infected as adults (8 wk) or weanlings (3 wk) with 1 × 105 pfu of RSV A2 or vehicle (intranasal, 30 μl ...

An optimized perfusate for enhanced rat ex vivo lung perfusion and lung transplant models

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We explored a low‐cost and efficient perfusate composition for use in rat ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) and lung transplant models. This perfusate demonstrates better biocompatibility, likely due to a reduction in immune responses associated with high doses of xenogenic proteins, resulting in less lung injury posttransplantation.

The Use of Rhinomanometry in Mouth Breathing: A Systematic Review of the Literature

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology
Introduction Mouth breathing generates imbalances in the musculature, in craniofacial morphofunctionality, and in the stomatognathic system. Therefore, it is essential to make a diagnosis of mouth breathing through the quantitative assessment ...

Reflex influence of carotid baroreceptor inactivation on respiratory resistance in humans

European Journal of Medical Research, 2009
Our previous study demonstrated that selective carotid baroreceptors activation decreases airway resistance. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of carotid baroreceptor inactivation on the reflex change of respiratory resistance ...

Relationship Between Airway Resistance indices and Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Young Adults

, 2009
Relationship Between Airway Resistance indices and Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Young Adults The present study aims at assessing the relationship between airway resistance indexes (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC) and maximal oxygen uptake (Vo2max) in young adults ...

Animal models of lung cancer: Phenotypic comparison of different animal models of lung cancer and their application in the study of mechanisms

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Grafts used to construct lung cancer animal models come from various sources, primarily cell lines, patient‐derived tumor tissues, and circulating tumor cells. Based on the sources of grafts and research objectives, lung cancer animal models can be categorized into several types: chemical‐induced models, orthotopic transplantation models, heterotopic ...

A Statistical Model to Predict Protection Against Infant Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease Through Maternal Immunization

Vaccines
Background/Objectives: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of severe respiratory disease in infants worldwide. Maternal immunization to protect younger infants is supported by evidence that virus-neutralizing antibodies, which are ...
