We analyzed the cytokine levels in cord blood (CB) and indoor environmental measurement concentrations in the mother’s residence obtained at 36 weeks of pregnancy...

... system. Results of previous studies suggest a higher prevalence of bronchial asthma (BA) in CVID patients than in the general population. We initiated this study to evaluate lung functions and identify risk factors for BA and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in patients with CVID. Methods: Twenty...

... patients at diagnosis and after a follow-up of 11 ± 3.6 years. Symptoms, anti-asthma therapy, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) and bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine were assessed. Results: A significant improvement in FEV 1 (% predicted) and PD20FEV 1 methacholine was observed at follow...

... challenge. After a follow-up interval of 3.5 years, subjects were reexamined by clinical assessment, bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BH) and induced sputum. Results: At follow-up, subjects who had reduced occupational exposure (n = 22) showed a significant improvement in BH and a nonsignificant improvement...

...Kenji Ohmori; Hidee Ishii; Yasuo Sasaki; Toshihide Ikemura; Haruhiko Manabe; Shigeto Kitamura We investigated the effects of KW-4679, an antiallergic drug, on the development of bronchial hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation and early and late asthmatic responses following aerosol antigen...

...Elisabeth Boichot; Marie-Paule Richard; Monique Paubert-Braquet The effect of a semi-synthetic cephalosporin, Cefadroxil, on antigen-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness and eosinophil accumulation in lungs from sensitized guinea pigs was investigated and compared to the effects of Cetirizine...

... that regular inhalation of PRO at the therapeutic dose might induce bronchial hyperresponsiveness. In addition, huge amounts of PRO only caused a mild thickening of the adventitial areas, suggesting that PRO may be a weak inducer of airway remodeling compared with FEN. 2 02 2002 19 08 2002 23...

..., the mice were also exposed to an aerosol of emulsified DHA-TG or soybean oil, or saline (days 7 and 15–17). Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) to methacholine was measured, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was obtained 24 h after the last challenge (day 18). Lungs were histologically examined. Results...

... of inducing a local eosinophil activation associated with an increase in nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness and (2) the increase in serum ECP levels due to eosinophil activation precedes the occurrence of asthma symptoms and may thus be a marker of allergen exposure in allergic asthma. 15 10 1999...
