Inflammatory Signalings Involved in Airway and Pulmonary Diseases [PDF]

Mediators of Inflammation, 2013
In respiratory diseases, there is an increased expression of multiple inflammatory proteins in the respiratory tract, including cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules. Chemokines have been shown to regulate inflammation and immune cell differentiation.

Acute and Chronic Effects of Smoking on Inflammation Markers in Exhaled Breath Condensate in Current Smokers [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Long-term cigarette smoking is associated with pulmonary inflammation, but the acute effects of smoking have been less well studied. Analysis of the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) can provide noninvasive markers that might be indicative of ...

Effects of Bedding Material on Equine Lower Airway Inflammation: A Crossover Study Comparing Peat and Wood Shavings

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Bedding materials affect stable air hygiene, and thus the development and exacerbation of equine asthma. There is limited knowledge concerning the effects of different types of bedding material on equine lower airway inflammation.

Airway Epithelial Dynamics in Allergy and Related Chronic Inflammatory Airway Diseases [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and asthma are highly prevalent, multifactorial chronic airway diseases. Several environmental and genetic factors affect airway epithelial dynamics leading to activation of inflammatory mechanisms in the airways.

Analysis of airway secretions in a model of sulfur dioxide induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

, 2006
Hypersecretion and chronic phlegm are major symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but animal models of COPD with a defined functional hypersecretion have not been established so far.

Macrorheology of cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease & normal sputum [PDF]

, 2009
Background Prior microrheologic assessments of selected, microlitre plugs of cystic fibrosis (CF) sputum suggest no intrinsic rheologic abnormality. However, such analyses may not be representative of CF sputum as a whole.

Neutrophil Heterogeneity in Airway Inflammatory Diseases

Inflammation
Neutrophils, the most abundant circulating leukocytes in humans, play key roles in infection and inflammation. The lungs represent a vital pool for neutrophils, serving as both a primary site of immune surveillance and a key battleground in inflammatory responses.

Asthma: where is it going?

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
Asthma is characterized by reversible airway obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway inflammation. Although our understanding of its pathophysiological mechanisms continues to evolve, the relative contributions of airway hyperresponsiveness ...

Mechanisms of Airway Remodeling in Asthma

Allergology International, 2007
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by reversible airflow limitation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Persistent inflammation in airway tissues may lead to structural changes known as airway remodeling and consequently airway ...
