The Multifaceted Effects of Alpha1-Antitrypsin on Neutrophil Functions

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Neutrophils are the predominant immune cells in human blood possessing heterogeneity, plasticity and functional diversity. The activation and recruitment of neutrophils into inflamed tissue in response to stimuli are tightly regulated processes.

Systematic Review of Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Obstructive Lung Disease [PDF]

Journal of Health and Pollution, 2021
Background. There is fast-growing epidemiologic evidence of the effects of environmental chemicals on respiratory health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been linked with airway obstruction common in asthma and/or asthma exacerbation, and ...

Generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (MHHi017-A, MHHi017-B) from a patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia carrying a homozygous mutation (c.7915C > T [p.Arg2639*]) in the DNAH5 gene

Stem Cell Research, 2020
Dynein axonemal heavy chain 5 (DNAH5) is part of a microtubule-associated protein complex found within the cilia of the lung. Mutations in the DNAH5 gene lead to impaired ciliary function and are linked to primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare ...

A data analytic model to determine regional variation of asthma incidence and other chronic obstructive lung diseases in Oman

Healthcare Analytics, 2022
This study examines how asthma and other chronic obstructive lung diseases vary in different regions. Information pertaining influence of region as a proxy for the environment on asthma is not well established, yet important for healthcare, travel, and ...

Phenotypes of obstructive lung disease [PDF]

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2008
AbstractRecently, there has been much emphasis on the fact that there are many different phenotypes in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this review is to investigate some aspects of phenotyping in these two diseases.Epidemiological studies show a quite different risk factor pattern in allergic and non‐allergic asthma.

Generation of two hiPSC lines (MHHi016-A, MHHi016-B) from a primary ciliary dyskinesia patient carrying a homozygous 5 bp duplication (c.248_252dup (p.Gly85Cysfs*11)) in exon 1 of the CCNO gene

Stem Cell Research, 2020
Cyclin O (CCNO) is involved in cell cycle regulation and mutations of CCNO are linked to the rare genetic disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (MHHi018-A) from a patient with Cystic Fibrosis carrying p.Asn1303Lys (N1303K) mutation

Stem Cell Research, 2020
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene which encodes for a chloride ion channel regulating the balance of salt and water across secretory epithelia.

Epidemiology, genetics, and subtyping of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) in COPDGene. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundPreserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm), defined as a reduced FEV1 in the setting of a preserved FEV1/FVC ratio, is highly prevalent and is associated with increased respiratory symptoms, systemic inflammation, and mortality.

Getting it Right in Obstructive Lung Disease

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
Chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure in obstructive lung diseases may benefit from nocturnal Home non-invasive ventilation (HNIV). It has been shown that in patients with persistence of hypercapnia after an acute episode of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation requiring mechanical ventilation, HNIV may improve the risk for new ...
