Abstract (sommario):

Airway remodeling is a contributing cause to the pathological structural changes, such as increased cell proliferation, observed in asthma. Platelets have been found in autopsy lungmaterial obtained from asthmatic patients and are well known to induce proliferation in vitro of a variety of cells. However, the role of platelets in airway remodeling is far from understood. This thesis aims to clarify the involvement of platelets in fibroblast and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) proliferation in vitro and to elucidate the importance of HA, FAK, eicosanoid and ROS dependent signaling. The results

Abstract (sommario):

[Truncated abstract] The extent to which an airway narrows is strongly influenced by mechanical loads on airway smooth muscle (ASM). This thesis considers both dynamic and static mechanical loads. Dynamic load describes the time varying load on airways produced by oscillatory breathing movements. Static load is that present at a fixed lung volume ie. without breathing. In the intact lung static load principally comprises the pressure across the airway wall, that is transmural pressure (Ptm), and elastic after-load arising from distortion of airway and lung tissue by the narrowing airway.

Abstract (sommario):

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways characterised by reversible airflow obstruction, airway hyper-responsiveness and inflammatory infiltrates in the airway walls containing eosinophils, T lymphocytes and mast cells. T helper (Th) lymphocyte subsets, defined by the cytokines they secrete, are thought to play a key role in the in the initiation and perpetuation of chronic airway inflammation. Th2 cells, producing interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13, are thought to be of particular importance. In contrast, Thl cells producing interferon (IFN)-y may counteract the develo

Abstract (sommario):

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

Snoring is common in pregnancy, and has been associated with an increased incidence of both maternal hypertension and preeclampsia, as well as an increased incidence of low birth weight infants and significantly poorer Apgar scores at birth. Patients with pre-eclampsia have episodes of partial upper airway (UA) obstruction during sleep. These repeated episodes are associated with further increases in blood pressure (BP). Preliminary evidence indicates that preventing episodes of airflow obstruction with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy may reduce BP in pre-eclampsia. Snoring

We aimed to gain further insights into the mechanisms that may link inflammation with remodeling using a rat model of experimental asthma.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients have airway neutrophilic inflammation associated with high levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and often develop airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Aerosolized uridine triphosphate (UTP) has been used to improve mucosal clearance by inducing Cl- secretion. However, nucleotides such as UTP and ATP (adenine triphosphate) also evoke the release of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), which are enhanced by pro-inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1beta.

Abstract (sommario):

The principal aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) in horses in Great Britain using risk-screening questionnaires (RSQ). Three processes were used to aid construction of the RSQ for RAO, namely: a review of the scientific literature, a survey of equine practitioners in the UK and a modified Delphi consultation with experts in the field of RAO. The demographic information, generated by the questionnaire, enabled investigation of risk factors associated with the disease using multilevel, multivariable logistic regression. Two models were con

Abstract (sommario):

Smokers with asthma represent an important sub-group of asthmatics displaying both reduced response to inhaled and oral corticosteroids as well as demonstrating accelerated decline in lung function and increased use of health care services. Clinical and laboratory studies have suggested that macrolide antibiotics may exhibit anti-inflammatory properties in a variety of airways disease including asthma. The anti-inflammatory properties of macrolides have been recognised for almost 50 years. Indirect evidence from both pre-clinical and clinical studies suggests that the mechanism of action may b

Abstract (sommario):

Introduction: The use of heat moisture exchangers (HMEs) is becoming more popular with many institutions delivering aerosolized medications between the HME and the endotracheal tube of patients being mechanically ventilated. When HMEs become saturated resistance can increase which can cause changes that can lead to patient-ventilator dysnchrony, development of intrinsic PEEP, and weaning difficulty. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of aerosol drug delivery on resistance through heat-moisture exchangers. Method: An in-vitro model to simulate exhaled heat and humidity from
