Surfactant abnormalities in infants with severe viral bronchiolitis. [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Disease in Childhood, 1996
To determine whether abnormalities of pulmonary surfactant occur in infants with acute viral bronchiolitis, surfactant indices were measured in lung lavage fluid from 12 infants with severe bronchiolitis and eight infants without lung disease. Compared with controls, the bronchiolitis group showed deficiency of surfactant protein A (1.02 v 14.4 ...

Guideline for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of respiratory syncytial virus infection in children in China

open access: yesPediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most common respiratory pathogens in children under 5 years of age worldwide and it seriously threatens children's health. In recent years, great progress has been made in the field of RSV‐related diseases.

Implications of Tobacco Use on Pathogen‐Driven Diseases: A Public Health and Policy Perspective

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tobacco epidemic remains one of the most significant global public health challenges, responsible for over 8 million deaths annually, with a substantial portion occurring among non‐smokers exposed to second‐hand smoke. While cigarette smoking remains the most prevalent form of tobacco use worldwide, the rise of electronic nicotine delivery

Genetic Susceptibility to Acute Viral Bronchiolitis

open access: yesThe Journal of Infectious Diseases
Abstract Background Acute viral bronchiolitis is a major cause of infant hospitalizations worldwide. Childhood bronchiolitis is considered a risk factor for asthma, suggesting shared genetic factors and biological pathways. Genetic risk loci may provide new insights into disease pathogenesis.

Antenatal Corticosteroid Administration and Childhood Respiratory Morbidity: A Regression Discontinuity Study

open access: yesBJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine if routine administration of antenatal corticosteroids affects the risk of infant lower respiratory tract infection and/or childhood asthma. Design Linked population‐based cohort analysed using a regression discontinuity design, which better controls for confounding than standard observational studies.

Virus‐Induced Cellular Senescence Causes Pulmonary Sequelae Post‐Influenza Infection

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
Genetic or pharmacological depletion of senescent cells during influenza A virus infection led to complete recovery of the airway epithelium, indicating a marked acceleration of the epithelial repair process. Targeting senescent cells may represent a new preventive therapeutic option to reduce post‐influenza chronic lung damage.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells protect from viral bronchiolitis and asthma through semaphorin 4a–mediated T reg expansion

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 2018
Respiratory syncytial virus–bronchiolitis is a major independent risk factor for subsequent asthma, but the causal mechanisms remain obscure. We identified that transient plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) depletion during primary Pneumovirus infection ...
