The aims of this study were: to assess the safety of a sputum induction method using inhaled normal saline in children with acute asthma; and to investigate changes in sputum cell counts between acute exacerbations of asthma and its resolution. Ultra

The increase in thickness of bronchial walls by such structural changes as subepithelial fibrosis contributes to the severity and chronicity of asthma by amplifying airway narrowing. However, the pathogenesis of this structural alteration is not know

Asthma is accompanied by the accumulation of potentially damaging eosinophils within inflamed airways. How eosinophils may be removed from the airways is not clear. The phagocytic removal of eosinophils in vitro requires that they undergo apoptosis,

Cytokines, such as interleukin-3 (IL-3), have been suggested to play an important role in mediating the increased number of airway eosinophils and metachromatic cells in patients with even mild asthma. We used immunohistochemistry to determine the pr

Tissue remodeling in bronchial tissues from asthmatics as well as in nasal polyp (NP) tissues includes sub-basement membrane deposition of collagen, stromal deposition of extracellular matrix protein, and hypertrophy/hyperplasia of airway smooth musc

Allergen inhalation challenge is associated with increases in eosinophil number and activation, and provides a useful model for investigating airway inflammation in asthma. Limited information, however, is available on the effect of allergen challeng

Increasing evidence implicates the eosinophil as an important effector cell in asthma, but little is known regarding its regulation in vivo. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has been shown to regulate eosinophil function in v

Previous studies have suggested that the endogenous release of inhibitory prostanoids limits the bronchoconstrictor response to repeated exercise. The aim of our study was to determine whether inhaled prostaglandin (PG)E2 attenuates exercise-induced

Induced sputum is a useful way to monitor airway inflammation in asthma, but cell counts are time-consuming and labour intensive.The aim of this study was to evaluate a novel processing method using eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) as a biochemical

The presence of airway eosinophils before allergen inhalation may contribute to the development of allergen-induced airway responses. We examined whether a reduction in airway eosinophil numbers before allergen inhalation as a result of inhalation of
