  1. 1. New Mediators and Novel Mechanisms in Allergic Airway Inflammation

    Författare :Malin Bryborn; Klinisk och experimentell allergiforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergic airway inflammation; airway hyperreactivity; inflammatory mediators; S100A7; IL-4; proteomics; genetic variation; Charcot-Leyden crystal protein;

    Sammanfattning : Hyperresponsiveness and inflammation are major pathophysiological features of both allergic rhinitis and asthma. The mechanisms behind these are not fully understood. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Cytokine induced airway hyperreactivity characterized in an in-vitro model of asthma

    Författare :Yaping Zhang; Klinisk och experimentell allergiforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; MAPK; TNF-alpha; 5-HT; Respiratory system; Andningsorganen; Pharmacological sciences; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; interleukin-1beta; hyperresponsiveness; endothelin-1; airway; bradykinin; toxikologi; farmaci;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is a chronic disorder of the lower airways, characterized by inflammation and hyperreactivity. Pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) are known to play important roles in the pathogenesis, but our knowledge how these cytokines contribute to the development of airway hyperreactivity is limited.

  4. 3. Airway sensory hyperreactivity linked to capsaicin sensitivity. Definitions and epidemiology

    Författare :Åke Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Capsaicin; Chemical sensitivity; Epidemiology; Odour intolerance; Sensory hyperreactivity;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: ? To study the relationship between odour intolerance and capsaicin sensitivity and to develop a definition of airway sensory hyperreactivity (SHR). ? To study epidemiology of odour intolerance; particularly regarding airway symptoms, and to relate odour intolerance to possible risk factors. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Neutrophil subsets in airway inflammation and hyperreactivity

    Författare :Sandra Ekstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Neutrophils are part of the first lines of defence against invading microbes. They play an essential role in antimicrobial host defence by recognizing microorganisms through the various receptors that can be expressed on their surfaces. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Nicotine and endotoxin in airway hyperreactivity and inflammation

    Författare :Yuan Xu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Active, as well as passive cigarette smoke exposure is detrimental to the human health, negatively affecting the cardiovascular, respiratory and immune systems. In addition, it is also carcinogenic. LÄS MER
