Cytokines and Bronchial Hyperreactivity
1990Cytokines and interleukins are a potent group of molecules that is primarily involved in maintaining homeostasis. These molecules regulate the growth and function of many cells of the immune system including eosinophils, mast cells/basophils and others.

Bronchial hyperreactivity, the abnormal reaction of the airways on non-allergic stimuli, is a feature of patients with chronic nonspecific lung disease. Several underlying mechanisms such as the neurogenic pathways, inflammatory cells and mediators, increased vascular leakage, epithelial damage and pathological changes in airway smooth muscle seem to ...

Prevention of bronchial hyperreactivity in children
Lung, 1990Hyperresponsiveness of the bronchi is defined as an excessive reaction of bronchial mucosa to irritants that do no harm to a healthy mucosa. Measures to prevent bronchial hyperreactivity in children with asthma and other diseases remain rather ineffective at present. Though progress has been made in some areas.

Respiratory infections and bronchial hyperreactivity
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1988Airway hyperirritability or hyperresponsiveness i a principal characteristic of asthma. The relationship of respiratory infections to either the development or enhancement of airway hyperreactivity poses an important clinical problem and may also provide insight into the pathogenesis of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and, possibly, asthma.

[Bronchial asthma and bronchial hyperreactivity].
Monatsschrift Kinderheilkunde : Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Kinderheilkunde, 1990Bronchial hyperreactivity to allergens and non-allergic stimuli is a feature of most patients with asthma as measured by the response to inhalants as pharmacological agents and physical stimuli. In contrast to adults there is an obvious relation of asthmatic episodes to allergen exposure in childhood.

Bronchoalveolar Lavage Findings and Bronchial Hyperreactivity
Respiration, 2009Different technical aspects concerning bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) are still controversial: optimal instillation volume for airway sampling, processing of lavage cells and measurement of solutes are all matter of debate. Data from BAL must then be interpreted cautiously.

Bronchial hyperreactivity in children with Marfan syndrome
Pediatric Pulmonology, 1991AbstractMarfan syndrome is known to have pulmonary manifestations such as pneumothorax. There have been few previous studies of pulmonary function tests and none of bronchial hyperreactivity. Therefore, pulmonary function tests were performed in 11 children with Marfan syndrome and 11 normal children.

Bronchial hyperreactivity revisited.
Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology : official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, 1995The purpose of this article is to review bronchial reactivity: how it is detected, what are the clinical and pathologic correlates and what treatment modulates it. Is it a good diagnostic test for a disease such as asthma? Is it a reasonable parameter to follow in assessing disease severity and response to treatment?Recent studies on human subjects in ...

[Bronchial hyperreactivity in infancy].
Anales espanoles de pediatria, 1993Airway responsiveness may be defined as the case with which airways narrow upon exposure to physical and chemical stimuli and drugs. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness reflects an excessive bronchoconstricting response to these stimuli. Although in part it may be genetically mediated, a number of environmental factors (allergens, viruses and contaminants ...

Bronchial Hyperreactivity and Eosinophil Granule Proteins
1993Five lines of evidence support the hypothesis that the eosinophil, possibly through its granule proteins, mediates bronchial hyperreactivity. First, bronchial hyperreactivity and blood eosinophilia are associated in patients with asthma. Second, bronchial hyperreactivity is associated with the number of eosinophils and the levels of eosinophil granule ...
