Effect of Dupilumab on Airway Inflammation in Patients With Persistent Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
EXPEDITION (NCT02573233) assessed the effects of dupilumab on airway inflammation in patients with persistent asthma using bronchoscopy and gene expression analysis. Dupilumab showed no appreciable effect on inflammatory cell types in biopsies or BALF samples.

Remission in Global Airway Diseases: EUFOREA Consensus Paper

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The therapeutic goal in chronic airway diseases is shifting from symptom control to disease remission. Disease‐modifying therapies, including biologics and allergen immunotherapy, have made remission achievable in patients with severe asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), or allergic rhinitis (AR).

The performance of an in-house loop-mediated isothermal amplification for the rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples in comparison with Xpert MTB/RIF, microscopy and culture

open access: yesRevista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo
Simple, low-cost and effective diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB) are needed especially in TB-high burden settings. The present study evaluated the performance of an in-house loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for diagnosing TB by ...

Clinical Features of Cellular Senescence Pathways in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
In bronchial biopsies, SASP and p53 pathway enrichment scores are elevated in severe asthma versus non‐severe asthma and healthy controls. SASP enrichment is validated in the independent NOVA cohort. SASP enrichment is also elevated in nasal brushings of participants with nasal polyps, independently of asthma status.

Deficiency of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Enzyme, CPT1A, Underlies Airway Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial fatty acid enzyme, CPT1A, is deficient in the airway epithelium of severe asthma patients. Restoration of CPT1A expression improved epithelial barrier integrity via increasing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production in airway epithelial cells. Restoration of deficient epithelial CPT1A may represent a new treatment approach for severe

Longer Asthma Duration Is Associated With Elevated Non‐T2 Sputum Biomarkers and Reduced T2 Inflammation in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Longer asthma duration is associated with increased airway non‐T2 inflammation and reduced airway and systemic T2 inflammation. Sputum CXCL9 is independently associated with duration and may predict a reduced poor response to anti‐IL‐4Rα therapy. Airway sampling and combined T2 and non‐T2 targeted strategies may be needed in long‐standing asthma. CXCL9,

DNA from Slow-Growing Mycobacteria in Culture Negative Sputa Reveal Common Exposure to Mycobacteria

open access: yesBiology
Mycobacteria isolated only once in repeated sputum cultures are deemed colonizers that are not normally present in the lungs despite their ubiquitous presence in the environment. We have developed a sensitive and specific PCR assay to detect slow-growing

The Airway Transcriptome in Type 2 Cytokine Biomarker‐High and ‐Low Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study distinguishes severe asthma–related airway transcriptomic changes from the effects of high‐dose ICS. Most dysregulated genes in severe asthma show concordance with corticosteroid responses. Corticosteroid‐resistant T2‐high asthma featured T2‐high and epithelial barrier gene upregulation, while T2‐low asthma featured Th1/IL‐17 signatures. ASM,

Assessing relation between sputum smear grading in positive pulmonary Tuberculosis patients with treatment outcome

open access: yesپژوهان, 2016
Introduction: Unsuccessful treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is big challenge to public health. Some conflicting results in regards with relationship of the sputum smear degree in unsuccessful treatments or death of patients have been reported.
