Role of endothelin-1 in lung disease [PDF]

, 2001
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a 21 amino acid peptide with diverse biological activity that has been implicated in numerous diseases. ET-1 is a potent mitogen regulator of smooth muscle tone, and inflammatory mediator that may play a key role in diseases of the

PRMT5 Mediates Sepsis‐Associated Lung Injury by Modulating JAK1 Arginine Methylation: A Mechanism Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lung injury is a common complication in critical sepsis. PRMT5 is implicated in endothelial inflammation and lung diseases, but its role in sepsis‐associated lung injury remains unclear. This study collected clinical sepsis samples and detected the mRNA expression of PRMT5.

Measuring the effect of airway pressure on pulmonary arterial diameter in the intact rat lung [PDF]

, 2003
To study the relationship between transpulomnary pressure (Ptp), intravascular pressure (Pv), and the pulmonary arterial tree structure, morphometric measurements of pulmonary arterial trees were made in intact lungs from Sprague-Dawley rats.

Evidence‐based guideline for clinical practice in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of recurrent wheezing in infants and toddlers in China

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wheezing is a common respiratory symptom in infants and toddlers, and recurrent wheezing is a significant respiratory disorder affecting this age group. Given the multifactorial etiology of recurrent wheezing, clinical practice lacks standardized diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. Recent years have witnessed substantial progress in clinical

Bronchoabsorption; a novel bronchoscopic technique to improve biomarker sampling of the airway [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Current techniques used to obtain lung samples have significant limitations and do not provide reproducible biomarkers of inflammation. We have developed a novel technique that allows multiple sampling methods from the same area (or multiple ...
