Role of nitric oxide in airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in bronchial asthma
Allergology International, 1999 Nitric oxide (NO) is produced within the airways and has a variety of actions on the airway function. Nitric oxide is a potent bronchodilator, and NO released from airway epithelial cells and inhibitory nonadrenergic non-cholinergic nerve terminals may ...

Allergy, EarlyView.Exhaled decane and nonadecane discriminate allergic (AR + LAR) from non‐allergic (NAR + HC) subjects among individuals with chronic rhinitis. LAR patients display higher levels of exhaled nonadecane than NAR individuals at baseline. Subjects with FeNO≥ 25 ppb have higher levels of exhaled decane, nonanal, and styrene than individuals with FeNO < 25 ppb

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways
Allergy, EarlyView.Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures. ARMS, Asthma

The Role of Exhaled Breath Analyses in Interstitial Lung Disease
DiagnosticsInterstitial lung diseases (ILDs) represent a group of lung disorders that primarily affect the lung parenchyma. These disorders are usually progressive, may be debilitating and life threatening, and often pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges ...

Nasal and Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Allergic Rhinitis [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2012 ObjectivesThe primary aim of this study was to assess whether one can use levels of nasal nitric oxide (nNO) and exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) as a means of evaluation in allergic rhinitis.MethodsWe used a chemiluminescence analyzer to measure nNO and eNO ...

Allergy, EarlyView.Adipokine secretion from adipose tissue may be involved in obesity‐related asthma, but it is unknown how adipokine levels relate to asthma characteristics. Plasma adipokines were measured in well‐characterized lean, overweight or obese patients with mild‐to‐moderate or severe asthma.
