Bronchoconstriction Induces TGF-β Release and Airway Remodelling in Guinea Pig Lung Slices. [PDF]
Airway remodelling, including smooth muscle remodelling, is a primary cause of airflow limitation in asthma. Recent evidence links bronchoconstriction to airway remodelling in asthma. The mechanisms involved are poorly understood.

Airway resistance at maximum inhalation as a marker of asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness [PDF]
Background Asthmatics exhibit reduced airway dilation at maximal inspiration, likely due to structural differences in airway walls and/or functional differences in airway smooth muscle, factors that may also increase airway responsiveness to ...

ABSTRACT Background Asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation and remodeling. Polydatin (PD), a natural compound, has shown anti‐inflammatory potential, but its role in asthma‐related airway remodeling and the underlying mechanisms involving the P2X7R–NLRP3 inflammasome axis and autophagy remain unclear.

Evaluation of Methacholine Challenge Test Results in Chronic Cough Patients Referring to Clinic of Pulmonary Disease [PDF]
Chronic cough is a common problem in patients visiting physicians and its prevalence in different populations range from 3 to 40%. Postnasal drip, asthma and gastroesophageal reflux are the known cause of chronic cough.

Ozone Inhalation Attenuated the Effects of Budesonide on Aspergillus fumigatus-Induced Airway Inflammation and Hyperreactivity in Mice. [PDF]
Inhaled glucocorticoids form the mainstay of asthma treatment because of their anti-inflammatory effects in the lung. Exposure to the air pollutant ozone (O3) exacerbates chronic airways disease.

The role of L-carnitine in treatment of a murine model of asthma. [PDF]
Leukotrienes, one of the mediators of inflammation in asthma, have a strong bronchoconstrictive effect. L-carnitine has been reported to influence respiratory functions. It has also been reported that L-carnitine inhibits leukotriene synthesis.

Protective Role for Itaconate During Inhaled Allergen Challenge
Itaconate levels decrease in sputum following allergen inhalation in mild asthmatics, suggesting a dynamic metabolic response to airway challenge. Genetic deletion of Acod1 in mice did not alter airway inflammation or remodelling in response to chronic HDM exposure.

The Effects of Long-Term Administration of Sodium Nedocromil on Bronchial Hypereactivity
The effect of long-term treatment with sodium nedocromil on airway hypereactivity was investigated in two groups of 20 patients each. Group I patients presented with allergic asthma while Group II patients presented with intrinsic asthma.
