Biological Obstacles for Identifying In Vitro-In Vivo Correlations of Orally Inhaled Formulations

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2019
Oral inhalation of drugs is the classic therapy of obstructive lung diseases. In contrast to the oral route, the link between in vitro and in vivo findings is less well defined and predictive models and parameters for in vitro-in vivo correlations are ...

Number Concentration, Size Distribution, and Lung-Deposited Surface Area of Airborne Particles in Three Urban Areas of Colombia

open access: yesAtmosphere
Airborne particulate matter is a major pollutant globally due to its impact on atmospheric processes and human health. Depending on their aerodynamic size, particles can penetrate the respiratory system, with ultrafine particles (UFPs) reaching the ...

Regional Inhaled Deposited Dose of Urban Aerosols in an Eastern Mediterranean City

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2019
We calculated the regional deposited dose of inhaled particulate matter based on number/mass concentrations in Amman, Jordan. The dose rate was the highest during exercising but was generally lower for females compared to males.

Airway Resistance and Deposition of Particles in the Lung

open access: yesExperimental Lung Research, 1984
The percentage 24-h lung retention of 4-micrometers monodispersed Teflon particles, aerodynamic diameter about 6 micrometers, was studied twice in 8 healthy nonsmokers. The particles were inhaled at 0.5 liter/sec with maximally deep breaths. Bronchoconstriction was induced by inhalation of a methacholine-bromide aerosol for one exposure before and for ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Control of Collagen Deposition in Mammalian Lung

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1995
This review considers the mechanisms controlling collagen deposition in mammalian lung in five different states: normal development, fibrosis, erosion, pneumonectomy, and the steady state. Deposition is the net result of positive and negative processes.
