  1. 21. Function of B2-adrenoceptors on alveolar macrophages

    Författare :Anita Zetterlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :A;

    Sammanfattning : B2-Agonists are very effective drugs for bronchodilatation, provide a rapid relief of symptoms in asthma, and are recommended as first line treatment, together with steroids. The relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles is a well-established effect of B-agonists, but their effects on inflammatory cells in the airways are less certain. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Airway antioxidant responses to oxidative air pollution and vitamin supplementation

    Författare :Annelie Behndig; Anders Blomberg; Ian S Mudway; Ragnberth Helleday; Isabelle Romieu; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicine; air pollution; ozone; diesel exhaust; airway inflammation; antioxidant; vitamin C; dehydroascorbate; vitamin supplementation; Medicin; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Air pollutants, such as ozone (O3) and diesel exhaust particles, elicit oxidative stress in the lung. Antioxidants within the respiratory tract lining fluid (RTLF) protect the underlying tissue from oxidative injury. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Novel diagnostics and treatment of acute lung injury and transplantation - Preclinical and clinical implementation

    Författare :Martin Stenlo; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Acute lung injury (ALI) and its most severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) limit the utilization of donor lungs for transplantation but is also a common cause of death in the intensive care unit. There is a general lack of diagnostic tools by which to assess lung function in ARDS but, in addition, the treatments offered are limited. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Organic dust from pig environment induces activation of human T cells

    Författare :Charlotte Müller-Suur; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Organic dust; T cells; NK cells; cytokines; cellular activation;

    Sammanfattning : Farmers suffer more frequently from inflammatory airway disorders than the population in general and a ongoing airway inflammation has been shown also in symptom-free healthy farmers. Exposure in a swine confinement building causes an intense airway inflammation with recruitment of inflammatory cells, predominately neutrophils, in healthy, previously, non-exposed subjects.

  7. 25. CC16 in allergy and allergic inflammation

    Författare :Sofi Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :CC16; CC10; uteroglobin; Clara cell; allergy; asthma; children; allergen; respiratory syncytial virus; T cell; eosinophil; neutrophil; fMLF; PGD2;

    Sammanfattning : Clara cell 16-kDa (CC16) is an anti-inflammatory protein mainly produced in the lung epithelium by Clara cells. Patients with asthma have lower levels of CC16 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum compared with healthy controls. LÄS MER
