Extra-fine particles improve lung delivery of inhaled steroids in infants: a study in an upper airway model

Description : BACKGROUND: The particles of a new hydrofluoroalkane-134a (HFA)-beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) metered-dose inhaler (Qvar; 3M Pharmaceuticals; St. Paul, MN) are considerably smaller than those of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-BDP. This may improve lung deposition in infants who...

Lower risk of atopic disorders in whole cell pertussis-vaccinated children

Description : This study addressed whether whole cell pertussis-vaccinated children have a different risk of atopic disorders compared with children who did not receive this vaccination. Data on vaccination status, atopic disorders and child and family characteristics of the children of 700 fami...

Skin tests, T cell responses and self-reported symptoms in children with allergic rhinitis and asthma due to house dust mite allergy

Description : Abstract BACKGROUND: In allergic responses, a distinction is made between an early-phase response, several minutes after allergen exposure, and a late-phase response after several hours. During the late phase, eosinophils and T cells infiltrate the mucosa and play an important role in inflammation....

Hydrogen peroxide in exhaled air is increased in stable asthmatic children

Description : Exhaled air condensate provides a noninvasive means of obtaining samples from the lower respiratory tract. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in exhaled air has been proposed as a marker of airway inflammation. We hypothesized that in stable asthmatic children the H2O2 concentrat...

Angiotensin II induces hypertrophy of human airway smooth muscle cells: expression of transcription factors and transforming growth factor-beta1

Description : Increased smooth muscle mass due to hyperplasia and hypertrophy of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells is a common feature in asthma. Angiotensin II (Ang II), a potent vasoconstrictor and mitogen for a wide variety of cells, has recently been implicated in bronchoconstrict...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide expression is altered in pulmonary neuroendocrine cells in developing lungs of rats with congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Description : Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with high neonatal mortality from lung hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNEC) produce calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a potent vasodilator. We previously reporte...

Interrupter resistance in preschool children: measurement characteristics and reference values

Description : There is a need for quick, reliable, and noninvasive lung function tests to assess airway obstruction in preschool children both for pediatric pulmonary care as well as for research purposes. We studied feasibility, reproducibility, and validity of measurements of the r...

DNase treatment for atelectasis in infants with severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis

Description : Respiratory insufficiency due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis is partly due to the abundance of thickened mucus and the inability to clear it from the airways. Mucus in RSV bronchiolitis contains necrotic inflammatory and epithelial cells. The viscoelastic ...
