Exhaled nitric oxide continues to reflect airway hyperresponsiveness and disease activity in inhaled corticosteroid‐treated adult asthmatic patients
Respirology - Tập 8 Số 4 - Trang 479-486 - 2003
David W. Reid, DP Johns, Bryce Feltis, Chris Ward, E. Haydn Walters
Objective:  Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) has been used as a surrogate of airway inflammation in mild asthma. However, whether eNO levels reflect disease activity in symptomatic asthmatics receiving moderate doses of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) is more uncertain.Methodology:  To examine the relationship between eNO levels, sputum...... hiện toàn bộ

Respirology - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 468-472 - 2008
Kazue Higuchi, Nobuyuki Harada, Toru Mori
Background and objective:  Chemotherapy for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection may decrease interferon (IFN)‐γ responses to early secretory antigenic target 6 and culture filtrate protein (CFP)‐10; a reaction that could be useful to monitor the success of treatment. We investigated IFN‐γ responses in subjects with latent TB infection befo...... hiện toàn bộ

Bronchial epithelial cells: The key effector cells in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
Respirology - Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 722-729 - 2015
Wei Gao, Ling‐Ling Li, Yujie Wang, Sini Zhang, Ian M. Adcock, Peter J. Barnes, Mao Huang, Xin Yao
