  1. 16. T cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Författare :Ester Roos-Engstrand; Anders Blomberg; Anders Bucht; Annelie F Behndig; Magnus Sköld; Claes-Göran Löfdahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; airway epithelium; bronchoscopy; bronchoalveolar lavage; endobronchial mucosal biopsies; inflammation; flow cytometry; T lymphocytes; CD25; CD127; FoxP3; Lung diseases; Lungsjukdomar; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Tobacco smoking is the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, but the mechanisms by which cigarette smoke induces COPD are still elusive. T lymphocytes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease, but their role in the airway inflammation in COPD is not fully understood. LÄS MER

  3. 17. IgE sensitization against food allergens : Natural history, relation to airway inflammation and asthma

    Författare :Antonios Patelis; Andrei Malinovschi; Eva Rönmark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergen components; extract-based; exhaled NO; airway hyperresponsiveness; blood eosinophil count; IgE sensitization; food hypersensitivity; food allergens; perennial allergens; natural history; markers of systemic inflammation; markers of local inflammation; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Fysiologi; Physiology; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: According to recent studies in children, IgE sensitization not only against perennial allergens, but also against food allergens, is related to asthma risk and increased airway inflammation. During the last decade, a new technique for IgE determination based on allergen components has become available, but its use in epidemiological studies has been limited. LÄS MER

  4. 18. The asthmatic airway response – effects on physiology and biomarkers

    Författare :Henning Stenberg; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :Asthma; Exhaled breath temperature; Exercise; Allergen challenge; Small airways; Airway provocations; Spirometry; Impulse oscillometry; Inert gas washout; Body plethysmography; Club cell protein CC16 ;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is a common airway inflammatory disease, associated with a variable degree of airway obstruction. It is a heterogeneous condition with large variations in severity and clinical presentation. Moreover, disease activity can vary from time to time. Taken together, these factors make the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of asthma challenging. LÄS MER

  5. 19. From sneeze to wheeze: Non-invasive studies on asthma and rhinitis

    Författare :David Aronsson; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; airway inflammation; united airways; airway hyperresponsiveness; asthma; allergíc rhinitis;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma and allergic rhinitis are diseases that cause major disability and illness in all ethnic groups and ages. It is well established that allergic rhinitis and asthma are closely linked entities and more than 75 % of the patients with asthma reports concomitant rhinitis. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Allergic airway inflammation and bone marrow eosinophilopoiesis. Modulation by cytokines

    Författare :Lin-Ling Zhao; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergy; airway inflammation; cytokine; eosinophil; eosinophilopoiesis;

    Sammanfattning : Accumulation of eosinophils in the airways and lung parenchyma is one of the hallmarks of allergic airway inflammation. This cellular inflammatory response is likely to involve the release of eosinophils from peripheral storage pools and possibly cause production of eosinophils in the bone marrow (BM). LÄS MER
