11. The effect of beta2-adrenoceptor agonists and steroids on induced airway inflammation and bronchial responsiveness
Sammanfattning : Acute exposure of healthy subjects in a swine barn induces an intense airway inflammation and increased bronchial responsiveness. Dust collected in swine houses is a potent stimulus for release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from cells in vitro. LÄS MER
12. Exhaled nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide in asthma and cystic fibrosis : markers of inflammation?
Sammanfattning : Background: Exhaled markers of airway inflammation have attracted much interest as potential tools for monitoring the bronchial inflammation of respiratory disease. Exhaled nitric oxide (NO), its metabolites nitrite and nitrate in breath condensate (EBC), and exhaled carbon monoxide (CO), have been suggested for this purpose. LÄS MER
13. Acute cytokine responses to inhaled swine confinement building dust
Sammanfattning : Inhalation of swine house dust (swine dust) may cause an acute inflammatory reaction Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome (ODTS). The reaction does not require sensitisation and is associated with airway inflammation, general symptoms, and slight spirometric changes. The agents and causing this reaction are not known. LÄS MER
14. Pollinosis in children with special reference to the development of asthma
Sammanfattning : Children with rhinoconjunctivitis and increased bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) are prone to develop asthma later in life. Eosinophil granule proteins in serum are indirect measures of eosinophil activity and regarded as markers of inflammation. LÄS MER
