Paraneoplastic Pemphigus Involving the Respiratory and Gastrointestinal Mucosae [PDF]
Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP), an autoimmune mucocutaneous disorder involving the oral and bronchial mucosae, is a rare complication of hematologic malignancy. Serologically, serum autoantibodies against varied desmosome-related proteins are of notice. PNP is often lethal due to bronchiolitis obliterans and opportunistic infection.

Nasal Nitric Oxide in the Upper Airway Inflammatory Diseases [PDF]
Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) from the lower respiratory tract is used commonly in diagnosis and treatment monitoring of asthma patients. However, nasal nitric oxide (nNO) has not been widely used in patients with upper airway inflammatory diseases due to ...

Replication characteristics of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) European subtype 1 (Lelystad) and subtype 3 (Lena) strains in nasal mucosa and cells of the monocytic lineage: indications for the use of new receptors of PRRSV (Lena) [PDF]
Recently, it has been demonstrated that subtype 3 strains of European type porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) are more virulent/pathogenic than subtype 1 strains. This points to differences in the pathogenesis.

Haemophilus parainfluenzae infection of respiratory mucosa
The pathogenicity of Haemophilus parainfluenzae (Hpi) in the respiratory tract is unclear, in contrast to the accepted pathogenicity of its close relative non-typable H. influenzae. We have investigated the interaction of two Hpi isolates with the mucosa of adenoid and bronchial tissue organ cultures.

Oral Mucosa as a Potential Site for Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic and Autoimmune Diseases
Most prevalent food allergies during early childhood are caused by foods with a high allergenic protein content, such as milk, egg, nuts, or fish. In older subjects, some respiratory allergies progressively lead to food-induced allergic reactions, which ...
