Lipopolysaccharide induces nitric oxide synthase expression and platelet-activating factor increases nitric oxide production in human fetal membranes in culture [PDF]
Platelet-activating factor and nitric oxide may be involved in the initiation of human labour as inflammatory mediators. The aim of this study was to test whether platelet-activating factor and lipopolysaccharide were able to induce nitric oxide synthase

Modeling of residential outdoor exposure to traffic air pollution and assessment of associated health effects [PDF]
Traffic air pollution is known to affect cardiopulmonary health in the population. Children with asthma are amongst the most susceptible groups. Several epidemiological studies linked traffic air pollution with increased reporting of asthmatic symptoms ...

To study the level of nitric oxide in exhaled air in pregnant women with bronchial asthma as a monitoring of disease control and prediction of asthma-associated obstetric complications: Observational comparative study [PDF]
Aim. To determine the clinical significance of the level of nitric oxide in exhaled air (NOex) for optimizing the control of bronchial asthma (BA) in pregnant women in order to reduce asthma-associated obstetric complications. Materials and methods. A

Exhaled nitric oxide in paediatric asthma [PDF]
Assessment of airway function is difficult in young children with asthma, and in addition, only reflects the status of the disease at the time of the measurement. Thus, there is increasing interest in monitoring airway inflammation in asthma, which may provide a longer term assessment of disease activity.

The Analysis of the Exhaled Nitric Oxide in a Group of Patients with Asthma, Aged 3-18
The aim of this study was to analyse the results of exhaled nitric oxide examination in a group of patients with hyper-responsive-ness. The study was performed on a group of 297 children who underwent spirometry, examination of exhaled nitric oxide, skin

Comparison of exhaled nitric oxide analysers [PDF]
Currently no published data are available concerning the comparability of different types of NO analysers, making inter-laboratory comparisons difficult. In two sets of experiments we compared 4 and 5 NO analysers, respectively, from 3 different manufacturers using different calibration regimes: calibration with (1) a separate recommended calibration ...

Clinical aspects of exhaled nitric oxide [PDF]
There has been intense research into the role nitric oxide (NO) plays in physiological and pathological mechanisms and its clinical significance in respiratory medicine. Elevated levels of exhaled levels of exhaled NO in asthma and other inflammatory lung diseases lead to many studies examining NO as potential markers of airway inflammation, enabling ...
