Stability of methacholine chloride solutions under different storage conditions over a 9 month period [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 1998
Methacholine chloride solutions, routinely used for testing bronchial hyperreactivity, have been shown to degrade over time. The data published addressing the optimal conditions for methacholine chloride storage are conflicting and incomplete. This study investigated the effects of a variety of conditions on the stability of methacholine chloride ...

Acepromazine Reduces Airway Contraction in a Murine Model of Asthma. [PDF]

Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol
ABSTRACT Acepromazine (ACP) is one of the most used sedatives in veterinary medicine, and its cardiovascular effects are well documented. In contrast, its effects on the respiratory system remain less well understood, particularly in the context of assessment of respiratory mechanics in murine models of asthma, where its use has become more common in ...

The effects of e-cigarette use on asthma severity in adult BALB/c mice. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
Abstract Electronic cigarettes (e‐cigarettes) are often perceived to be a less harmful alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Potentially due to this perception, they are used by people with pre‐existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, who otherwise would not smoke. Despite this, there are few studies exploring the health effects of e‐cigarette use

Vocal biomarkers correlate with FEV1 variations during methacholine challenge. [PDF]

Clin Transl Allergy
Abstract Background Mobile health applications are increasingly valued for their role in asthma management and the opportunity for large dataset collection. Our study aimed to investigate the feasibility of applying signal‐processing and machine‐learning technologies to detect alterations in the lower airway caliber and develop a machine‐learning ...

Pulmonary surfactant and prostaglandin E₂ in airway smooth muscle relaxation of human and male guinea pigs. [PDF]

Physiol Rep
The relaxant effect of pulmonary surfactant on airway smooth muscle (Prostaglandin E2). Abstract Pulmonary surfactant serves as a barrier to respiratory epithelium but can also regulate airway smooth muscle (ASM) tone. Surfactant (SF) relaxes contracted ASM, similar to β2‐agonists, anticholinergics, nitric oxide, and prostanoids. The exact mechanism of

PVC Nanoplastics Exposure Exacerbates Asthma through R-Loop Accumulation and Subsequent STING Activation in Macrophages. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) nanoplastics (NPs) are shown to aggravate allergic airway inflammation in asthma by triggering R‐loop accumulation and activating the cGAS‐STING pathway in macrophages. This study reveals a novel immunotoxic mechanism linking environmental plastic exposure to asthma pathogenesis and highlights potential molecular targets for ...

The effect of nose clip on exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction in adolescents

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 58, Issue 9, Page 2647-2655, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Oral breathing is considered to increase hyper‐responsiveness of the airways. Data on the need for nose clip (NC) during exercise challenge test (ECT) in children and adolescents is scarce. Ouraim was to evaluate the role of NC during ECT in children and adolescents.

Staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization in a community-based population : a potential role in adult-onset asthma [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Recent studies suggest that Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin sensitization is a risk factor for asthma. However, there is a paucity of epidemiologic evidence on adult-onset asthma in community-based populations.
