Journal ArticleDOI

Mast cell tryptase causes airway smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness in dogs.

TL;DR: The findings show a striking promotion of agonist-induced bronchial smooth muscle contraction by mast cell tryptase, via direct or indirect effects on Ca2+ channels, and the findings therefore suggest a novel potential mechanism of hyperresponsiveness in dog bronchi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxygen may improve dyspnea and endurance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and only mild hypoxemia.

TL;DR: Dyspnea scores were measured by numeric rating scale during cycle ergometry endurance testing and the severity of dyspnea with right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) measured by Doppler echocardiography during a separate supine incremental exercise test to confirm prior studies and evaluate potential mechanisms of benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alterations in human leukocyte function induced by ingestion of eicosapentaenoic acid

TL;DR: Two groups of six adults with persistent asthma, who were identical clinically, received 0.1 or 4 g of purified eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester daily for 8 weeks, and both doses of EPA increased the responses of T lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin by a mean of 73% or more without modifying the numbers of helper and suppressor T lymphocyte.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiologic Diagnosis of Subclinical Emphysema

TL;DR: Seven patients undergoing thoracotomy for a localized surgical problem had significantly reduced single-breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide and abnormalities in maximal expiratory flow-volume curves, especially at small lung volumes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and pulmonary inflammation in allergic dogs

TL;DR: Airway responsiveness to acetylcholine aerosol was determined before and at 2, 6, and 24 h after ragweed or sham aerosol challenge, and antigen-induced hyperresponsiveness is associated with the presence of pulmonary inflammation, presumably arising from the airways and involving both neutrophils and eosinophils.
