Animal models of benign airway stenosis: Advances in construction techniques, evaluation systems, and perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Currently, the animals commonly used to establish animal models of benign airway stenosis (BAS) include mice, rats, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. The establishment methods involve one or a combination of two methods such as mechanical injury, tracheal cautery, cuff overpressure intubation, laser injury, and endoscopic silver nitrate cauterization ...

Bronchoconstriction Induces TGF-β Release and Airway Remodelling in Guinea Pig Lung Slices. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Airway remodelling, including smooth muscle remodelling, is a primary cause of airflow limitation in asthma. Recent evidence links bronchoconstriction to airway remodelling in asthma. The mechanisms involved are poorly understood.

Onset of bronchodilation with fluticasone/formoterol combination versus fluticasone/salmeterol in an open-label, randomized study [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction: The inhaled corticosteroid, fluticasone propionate (fluticasone), and the long-acting beta2-agonist, formoterol fumarate (formoterol), have been combined in a single aerosol inhaler (fluticasone/formoterol).

Beyond right or wrong: How partial credit scoring on multiple‐choice questions improves student performance and assessment perceptions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In this study, we examined the effects of assigning partial credit to selected answer choices on student performance and perceptions in a pharmacology course using Type A multiple‐choice questions (MCQs). Methods Partial credit scoring was incorporated into quizzes and exams in a 10‐week pharmacology course for postbaccalaureate premedical ...

More Relaxation by Deep Breath on Methacholine- Than on Exercise-Induced bronchoconstriction during the Routine Testing of Asthmatic Children

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Deep inspiration (DI) dilates normal airway precontracted with methacholine. The fact that this effect is diminished or absent in asthma could be explained by the presence of bronchial inflammation.

Loss of bronchoprotection to Salbutamol during sputum induction with hypertonic saline: implications for asthma therapy

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2018
Background Sputum induction with hypertonic saline in obstructive airway diseases is generally safe. However, saline induces bronchoconstriction in some patients despite pre-medication with Salbutamol. Our objectives were to investigate the predictors of

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Children

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a transient airflow obstruction, typically 5–15 min after physical activity. The pathophysiology of EIB is related to the thermal and osmotic changes of the bronchial mucosa, which cause the release of ...

Regular treatment with formoterol for chronic asthma: serious adverse events [PDF]

, 2012
Epidemiological evidence has suggested a link between beta(2)-agonists and increases in asthma mortality. There has been much debate about possible causal links for this association, and whether regular (daily) long-acting beta2-agonists are safe ...
