Hookah smoking impairs nasal mucociliary clearance

Tobacco Induced Diseases, 2018
Introduction Active tobacco smoking has been causally associated with nasal mucociliary clearance (MCC). Smoking through a hookah as an alternative to tobacco smoking has been shown in some scientific studies to have several toxic effects on human health.

The effects of smoking and smoking cessation on nasal mucociliary clearance, mucus properties and inflammation

Clinics, 2016
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to assess nasal mucociliary clearance, mucus properties and inflammation in smokers and subjects enrolled in a Smoking Cessation Program (referred to as quitters). METHOD: A total of 33 subjects with a median (

Breathing on chip: Dynamic flow and stretch accelerate mucociliary maturation of airway epithelium in vitro

Materials Today Bio, 2023
Human lung function is intricately linked to blood flow and breathing cycles, but it remains unknown how these dynamic cues shape human airway epithelial biology.

ENERGY PROCESSES OF MUCOCILIARY CLEARANCE [PDF]

Journal of IMAB, 2019
The main objective of the paper is to describe in detail the physiology and pathophysiology of the mucociliary transport system. Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is a principal component of the respiratory tract. As an important defence mechanism, it provides

Rotation frequency of human bronchial and nasal epithelial spheroids as an indicator of mucociliary function [PDF]

, 2006
Background: We evaluated a new in vitro model for mucociliary transport function. Spheroids of human respiratory epithelium show beating cilia at their surface.

Smoking is associated with shortened airway cilia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Whereas cilia damage and reduced cilia beat frequency have been implicated as causative of reduced mucociliary clearance in smokers, theoretically mucociliary clearance could also be affected by cilia length.
