Abstract:

A safe, potent and broad-spectrum antiviral is urgently needed to combat emerging viral respiratory diseases such as avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Previous studies carried out by PhD students in our lab found that mouse β-defenisn 4 (mBD4) shows highly antiviral activity in vitro. However, the recombinant mBD4 (rmBD4) expressed by E.coli is limited to very small scale of production and is very expensive. Thus, in this study, we firstly screened 16 short peptides derived from mBD4 and other mouse and human

Abstract:

Background: Respiratory diseases are common worldwide, which are caused by various respiratory viruses. As symptoms caused by these viruses are similar, laboratory diagnosis is essential to distinguish the virus. Conventionally, respiratory viruses are isolated by cell culture with a panel of cell lines. However, handling of several cell lines is labour intensive, and the turnaround time of conventional culture is long. In previous study, the use of human colon adeno-carcinoma (Caco-2) in conventional culture was investigated. The study has proven that Caco-2 is generally susceptible to the ei

Abstract:

Measuring the level of exhaled NO (eNO) in the breath is a new method to monitor airway inflammation in asthma and may have a role in the management of asthma. The hypotheses were that eNO will reflect the degree of inflammation in chronic asthma, and will indicate how anti- inflammatory therapy should be altered to improve asthma control. Three studies were performed to test the hypotheses. A cross sectional study was performed to define the normal range of eNO and to compare this range with those who have asthma or atopy. The second study was observational, to compare the level of eNO during

Hypoxia is a common feature of many respiratory disorders including acute severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia. Hypoxia also occurs during sleep - disordered breathing in conditions such as sleep hypoventilation syndrome and sleep apnea. In most respiratory diseases hypoxia is coupled with increased respiratory load. Compensatory protective mechanisms are activated to oppose these impediments to respiration. However, hypoxia is associated with impaired neurocognitive function and recent studies have demonstrated that hypoxia suppresses respiratory load perception

Introduction: Respiratory tract symptoms (RTS), common in athletes during heavy training and after events, result in impaired readiness for events and race times. Since the 1980’s exercise immunologists have investigated the aetiological factors surrounding the development of exercise induced RTS in order to develop effective preventative strategies. A number of theories have been put forward and explored, such as increased susceptibility to infection, ‘run-away’ inflammatory response and reactivation of prior viral infection. It has been suggested that the mechanisms producing exercise induce

Abstract:

The lungs are the primary organ of the respiratory system. Their main function is to provide freshly breathed oxygen (O²) to the blood capillaries, while taking carbon dioxide (CO²) from them and expelling it to the atmosphere. Lung conditions such as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), etc., cause impaired gas exchange that is life-threatening.
