Study objective: The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for asthma prevalence and chronic respiratory illnesses in Buffalo’s neighbourhoods after previous studies reported increased levels of asthma among residents on Buffalo’s west si

A recent study based on data over a 10-year period (1991-2000) showed a positive association between health care utilization and prevalence of asthma, and commercial traffic at a U.S.-Canada border crossing. We wanted to determine whether decreases i

To determine the prevalence of caregiver-reported asthma in children 4 to 13 years old in metropolitan western New York State, surveys were conducted during 1997-1999 in the Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Iroquois, and Gowanda school systems. Questionnaires

Recent studies have shown that type II pneumocytes, at birth and day 3 postnatally, have a diffuse distribution and localize at alveolar 'corners' between 3 and 7 days. Since alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 1 are laminin-binding receptors that are we

Cellular pathways of normal and reparative differentiation of upper airway epithelium are not well understood. Of the three main cell types, basal and secretory cells are known to divide, while ciliated cells are considered terminally differentiated.

The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) has been shown to increase in lung injury and in fibrotic states of the lung. In the current study, we sought to investigate whether TGF beta 1 induced the expression of IL-1 alpha and IL-8 in rat alveol

Interactions between cells and extracellular matrix are in large part mediated by integrins in divalent cation-dependent processes. Integrins are important for cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration during development and repair of divers

The lectin, Maclura pomifera agglutinin (MPA), binds to alpha-galactose residues of glycoproteins on the apical surface of type II alveolar cells. It has recently been shown to bind to macrophages. We isolated the cell surface glycoprotein, which bin

Rat alveolar type II pneumocytes, in situ, label with Maclura pomifera agglutinin (MPA), a plant lectin that recognizes alpha-galactosyl oligosaccharide residues of glycoproteins and glycolipids. To study the glycoproteins recognized by the lectin, M

Previous to this study various healthcare utilization studies and house-to-house surveys had shown that Buffalo's west side had a high utilization rate for asthma and high asthma prevalence in comparison with neighboring communities. The relative con
