Dexmedetomidine Blocks the ERK Pathway by Inhibiting MAP3K8 to Achieve a Protective Effect in Lung Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lung ischemia/reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a primary contributor to morbidity and mortality following lung transplantation. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) protects the lungs from I/R injury, but the underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. This paper examined the protective effect of DEX in LIRI and elucidated the potential regulation involved. LIRI was

Effects of fluticasone propionate inhalation on levels of arachidonic acid metabolites in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Mediators of Inflammation, 2001
Background: In smoking COPD patients the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid contains high numbers of inflammatory cells. These cells might produce arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites, which contribute to inflammation and an increased bronchomotor tone.

Oral Administration of Trichosanthes Kirilowii Fruit Extract Ameliorates Airway Inflammation and Suppresses Th2 Cell Activities in Ovalbumin‐Sensitized Mice

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trichosanthes kirilowii is a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine. Its fruits, seeds, and roots can all be used medicinally. The fruit of T. kirilowii has a moistening effect on the lung for arresting cough. However, there is no scientific research to prove that the fruit of T. kirilowii can improve asthma. Herein, we evaluated whether T.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Alveolar Extracellular Vesicles May Protect Some Patients With Chronic Aspiration From Pneumonia

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A subset of patients with chronic aspiration appear to be relatively protected against pneumonias. This prospective observational study examines the alveolar fluid of patients with chronic aspiration with and without pneumonia. We found relatively little difference in classical cytokine levels but a difference in both the level and protein composition ...
