Respiratory Research | Abstract | The prevalence and identity of Chlamydia-specific IgE in children with asthma and other chronic respiratory symptoms
respiratory-research.com — “Recent studies have confirmed the presence of viable Chlamydia in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of pediatric patients with airway hyperresponsiveness. While specific IgG and IgM responses to C. pneumoniae are well described, the response and potential contribution of Ag-specific IgE are not known. The current study sought to determine if infection with Chlamydia triggers the production of pathogen-specific IgE in children with chronic respiratory diseases which might contribute to infla” View full resource at respiratory-research.com

Respiratory Research | Abstract | Combination of Roflumilast with a Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonist Inhibits Proinflammatory and Profibrotic Mediator Release from Human Lung Fibroblasts
respiratory-research.com — “Small airway narrowing is an important pathology which impacts lung function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The accumulation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts contribute to inflammation, remodeling and fibrosis by production and release of mediators such as cytokines, profibrotic factors and extracellular matrix proteins. This study investigated the effects of the phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor roflumilast, combined with the long acting beta2 adrenergic agonist indacaterol, both” View full resource at respiratory-research.com

Respiratory Research | Abstract | Transient receptor potential genes, smoking, occupational exposures and cough in adults
respiratory-research.com — “Transient receptor potential (TRP) vanilloid and ankyrin cation channels are activated by various noxious chemicals and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of cough. The aim was to study the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TRP genes and irritant exposures on cough.” View full resource at respiratory-research.com

Respiratory Research | Abstract | T lymphocyte insensitivity to corticosteroids in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
respiratory-research.com — “There are increased numbers of activated lymphocytes in the lungs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The clinical benefits of corticosteroids in COPD patients are limited. Our hypothesis is that lymphocytes play a role in this corticosteroid insensitivity.” View full resource at respiratory-research.com

Respiratory Research | Abstract | Fractionated breath condensate sampling: H2O2 concentrations of the alveolar fraction may be related to asthma control in children
respiratory-research.com — “Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways but recent studies have shown that alveoli are also subject to pathophysiological changes. This study was undertaken to compare hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations in different parts of the lung using a new technique of fractioned breath condensate sampling.” View full resource at respiratory-research.com

Respiratory Research | Abstract | Is low dose inhaled corticosteroid therapy as effective for inflammation and remodeling in asthma? A randomized, parallel group study.
respiratory-research.com — “While most of the clinical benefits of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy may occur at low doses, results of dose-ranging studies are inconsistent. Although symptom/lung function response to low and high dose ICS medication is comparable, it is uncertain whether low dose ICSs are as effective as high dose in the treatment of inflammation and remodeling.” View full resource at respiratory-research.com

Respiratory Research | Abstract | Aerosolized Adenovirus-vectored Vaccine as an Alternative Vaccine Delivery Method

Recent studies suggest that intranasal delivery or vaccination in the respiratory tract with recombinant viral vectors can enhance immunogenicity and protection against respiratory diseases such as influenza and tuberculosis, and can offer more broad-based generalized protection by elic” View full resource at respiratory-research.com

respiratory-research.com — “Inflammation of the airways, which is often associated with life-threatening infection by Gram-negative bacteria or presence of endotoxin in the bioaerosol, is still a major cause of severe airway diseases. Moreover, inhaled endotoxin may play an important role in the development and progression of airway inflammation in asthma. Pathologic changes induced by endotoxin inhalation include bronchospasm, airflow obstruction, recruitment of inflammatory cells, injury of the alveolar epithelium, and d” View full resource at respiratory-research.com

It is currently treated and, more or less, controlled depending on severity, with bronchodilators e.g. long-acting beta agonists and long-acting muscarinic antagonists or anti-inflammatory drugs such as corticosteroids (inhaled or oral), leukotriene modifiers, theophyline and anti-IgE therapy.
