Nasal Nitric Oxide in the Upper Airway Inflammatory Diseases [PDF]

Journal of Rhinology, 2021
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 ...

Paraneoplastic Pemphigus Involving the Respiratory and Gastrointestinal Mucosae [PDF]

Case Reports in Pathology, 2020
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.

B Cell Mobilization, Dissemination, Fine Tuning of Local Antigen Specificity and Isotype Selection in Asthma

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
In order to better understand how the immune system interacts with environmental triggers to produce organ-specific disease, we here address the hypothesis that B and plasma cells are free to migrate through the mucosal surfaces of the upper and lower ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion to normal and injured respiratory mucosa

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
Human nasal polyps outgrowth culture were used to study the adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to respiratory cells. By transmission electron microscopy, bacteria associated with ciliated cells were identified trapped at the extremities of cilia, usually

Advancing Immunotherapeutic Vaccine Strategies Against Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Chemotherapeutic intervention remains the primary strategy in treating and controlling tuberculosis (TB). However, a complex interplay between therapeutic and patient-related factors leads to poor treatment adherence.

family of enzymes in human nasal mucosa [PDF]

, 2001
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a family of enzymes thought to play a key role in inflammation by releasing arachidonic acid for the synthesis of eicosanoids and lysophospholipid for the synthesis of platelet-activating factor.

Oral Mucosa as a Potential Site for Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic and Autoimmune Diseases

Foods, 2021
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 ...

Histochemical and lectinhistochemical studies on nasal mucosa of pigs with or without respiratory diseases [PDF]

, 2022
Histochemical and lectinhistochemical examinations were carried out on nasal mucosa of pigs with or without respiratory diseases. As the results, both acid and neutral mucins coexisted in nasal mucosa of normal pigs while acid sialomucins were mainly ...
