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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Ventilation defect formation in healthy and asthma subjects is determined by lung inflation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Imaging studies have demonstrated that ventilation during bronchoconstriction in subjects with asthma is patchy with large ventilation defective areas (Vdefs).

気管支喘息患者の血清コーチゾール値について. 副腎皮質ホルモン投与および年齢との関連 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Serum cortisol levels were examined in 94 patients with bronchial asthma in relation to dose of glucocorticoids and age. 1. The level of serum cortisol was significantly lower in group A patients, treated with glucocorticoids (prednisolone of 5mg/day or ...

A Systematic Review of the Variability of Ventilation Defect Percent Generated From Hyperpolarized Noble Gas Pulmonary Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyperpolarized (HP) gas pulmonary MR ventilation images are typically quantified using ventilation defect percent (VDP); however, the test‐retest variability of VDP has not been systematically established in multi‐center trials. Herein, we perform a systematic review of the test‐retest literature on the variability of VDP, and similar metrics,

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

open access: yesAllergy, 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 Changes in Exhaled NO Differentiates Asthma With or Without Fixed Airway Obstruction From COPD With Dynamic Hyperinflation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Asthmatic patients with fixed airway obstruction (FAO) and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) share similarities in terms of irreversible pulmonary function impairment. Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) has been documented as a marker of

Bronchoconstriction and airway biology: potential impact and therapeutic opportunities.

open access: yesChest, 2015
Recent work has demonstrated that mechanical forces occurring in the airway as a consequence of bronchoconstriction are sufficient to not only induce symptoms but also influence airway biology. Animal and human in vitro and in vivo work demonstrates that

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to
