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.

Glucocorticoid‐Induced TNFR‐Related Ligand as a Biomarker for Diagnosis and Severity of Asthma in Children

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates elevated GITRL expression in HDM‐exposed dendritic cells (in vitro), murine asthma models, and pediatric asthma patients, and reveals a direct association between GITRL levels and disease severity in children. ABSTRACT Currently, there are no reliable pediatric biomarkers for assessing the severity of asthma. Therefore, the study
