TL;DR: The leukotriene antagonist ONO-1078 prevents the asthma deterioration provoked by a 6-wk reduction of the dose of inhaled BDI into half, and the number of daytime and nighttime asthma symptoms and the use of beta2-agonist increased in the placebo group, whereas they remained unchanged in the ONO -1078 group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical implications of the immunomodulatory effects of macrolides.
TL;DR: Together, these anti-inflammatory effects result in improved pulmonary functions and fewer airway infections and further work is needed to characterize the clinical benefits of macrolides in patients with other chronic inflammatory airway diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute cigarette smoke exposure induces apoptosis of alveolar macrophages.
TL;DR: It is suggested that acute CS exposure is capable of inducing apoptosis of AMs, and this apoptosis was inhibited by antioxidants such as glutathione, ascorbic acid, and alpha-tocopherol.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Macrolides on Inflammatory Cells
TL;DR: The action of macrolides on neutrophil accumulation, immune complex-mediated production of nitric oxide, mucin production, and the expanded therapeutic role of Macrolides as biological response modifiers are discussed.
Journal Article
Role of p38-Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase in Spontaneous Apoptosis of Human Neutrophils
TL;DR: It is found that p38-MAPK was constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated and activated during spontaneous apoptosis of neutrophils, and this results suggest that the constitutive phosphorylation and activation of p34-mitogen-activated protein kinase are involved in the program of spontaneous apoptoses in neutrophil.
