Can HRCT be used as a marker of airway remodelling in children with difficult asthma? [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Whole airway wall thickening on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is reported to parallel thickening of the bronchial epithelial reticular basement membrane (RBM) in adult asthmatics. A similar relationship in children with difficult

Airway epithelial cell-specific deletion of HMGB1 exaggerates inflammatory responses in mice with muco-obstructive airway disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a ubiquitous chromatin-binding protein required for gene transcription regulation, is released into the extracellular microenvironment by various structural and immune cells, where it is known to act as an alarmin. Here,

Urinary CC16 after challenge with dry air hyperpnoea and mannitol in recreational summer athletes [PDF]

, 2013
Airway epithelial injury is regarded as a key contributing factor to the pathogenesis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in athletes. The concentration of the pneumoprotein club cell (Clara cell) CC16 in urine has been found to be a non ...

PPARγ as a Potential Target to Treat Airway Mucus Hypersecretion in Chronic Airway Inflammatory Diseases

PPAR Research, 2012
Airway mucus hypersecretion (AMH) is a key pathophysiological feature of chronic airway inflammatory diseases such as bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Constrictive Bronchiolitis and Ulcerative Colitis

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 1999
Pulmonary complications occur in an estimated 0.21% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The most common presentation of pulmonary manifestations is large airway disease, such as tracheobronchitis, chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis.

Vegetable dust and airway disease: inflammatory mechanisms. [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1986
Exposure to cotton or grain dust causes an obstructive bronchitis in certain subjects, mechanisms of which are poorly understood. A difficulty encountered in discerning mechanisms of this airway disease is the lack of knowledge of the active components of these dusts.

The interaction of tiotropium with long lasting β2-agonists on lung cell function [PDF]

, 2013
The major question addressed in this thesis was to find the mechanism(s) by which muscarinic receptors interact with β2-adrenergic receptors in human airway fibroblasts.

Possible involvement of acetylcholine-mediated inflammation in airway diseases

Allergology International, 2018
Inhaled bronchodilator treatment with a long acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) reduces symptoms and the risk of exacerbations in COPD and asthma. However, increasing evidence from cell culture and animal studies suggests that anti-muscarinic drugs ...

TMEM16A in Cystic Fibrosis: Activating or Inhibiting?

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
The inflammatory airway disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by airway obstruction due to mucus hypersecretion, airway plugging, and bronchoconstriction.

Patterns of airway involvement in inflammatory bowel diseases

World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology, 2014
Extraintestinal manifestations occur commonly in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Pulmonary manifestations (PM) of IBD may be divided in airway disorders, interstitial lung disorders, serositis, pulmonary vasculitis, necrobiotic nodules, drug-induced lung disease, thromboembolic lung disease and enteropulmonary fistulas.
