Urinary CC16 after challenge with dry air hyperpnoea and mannitol in recreational summer athletes [PDF]

, 2013
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 ...

Assessment of functional tests on determining resistance of respiratory tract in patients with bronchial asthma, COPD and their combination.

Medičnì Perspektivi, 2017
The mechanical properties of the respiratory tract (including airway resistance) is an important indicator of pulmonary function, and definition of resistance is used to diagnose and monitor obstructive lung diseases. This study was performed in order to

Estimating Airway Resistance from Forced Expiration in Spirometry

Applied Sciences, 2019
Spirometry is the gold standard to detect airflow limitation, but it does not measure airway resistance, which is one of the physiological factors behind airflow limitation. In this study, we describe the dynamics of forced expiration in spirometry using

Human airway xenograft models of epithelial cell regeneration [PDF]

, 2000
Regeneration and restoration of the airway epithelium after mechanical, viral or bacterial injury have a determinant role in the evolution of numerous respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, asthma and cystic fibrosis.

D-4F, an apoA-1 mimetic, decreases airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and oxidative stress in a murine model of asthma[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
Asthma is characterized by oxidative stress and inflammation of the airways. Although proinflammatory lipids are involved in asthma, therapies targeting them remain lacking. Ac-DW F KA F YDKVAEK F KEA F NH2 (4F) is an apolipoprotein (apo)A-I mimetic that

α-Bisabolol alleviates diesel exhaust particle-induced lung injury and mitochondrial dysfunction by regulating inflammatory, oxidative stress, and apoptotic biomarkers through the c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionExposure to particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) is associated with adverse respiratory outcomes, including alterations to lung morphology and function.

Quantification of collagen and proteoglycan deposition in a murine model of airway remodelling [PDF]

, 2005
Background: Sub- epithelial extracellular matrix deposition is a feature of asthmatic airway remodelling associated with severity of disease, decline in lung function and airway hyperresponsiveness.

Metformin reduces airway glucose permeability and hyperglycaemia-induced Staphylococcus aureus load independently of effects on blood glucose [PDF]

, 2013
Background Diabetes is a risk factor for respiratory infection, and hyperglycaemia is associated with increased glucose in airway surface liquid and risk of Staphylococcus aureus infection.

The Role of Impulse Oscillometry in Evaluating Disease Severity and Predicting the Airway Reversibility in Patients With Bronchiectasis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundImpulse oscillometry (IOS) can be used to evaluate airway impedance in patients with obstructive airway diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated that IOS parameters differ between patients with bronchiectasis and healthy controls.
