Cytokine profile of chronic sinusitis in patients with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND The inflammatory-cell and cytokine profiles of chronic sinusitis (CS) are well documented in the literature. In contrast, little is known about the pathogenesis of this condition in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). OBJECTIVE To determine whether patients with CF have inflammatory-cell and cytokine profiles that differ from other patients with CS. METHODS Patients with CF (n = ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Cystic Fibrosis Trans-membrane Conductance Regulator Gene common mutations in children with cystic fibrosis in Isfahan, Iran
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic disorder of Cystic Fibrosis Trans-membrane Conductance (CFTR) Regulator gene mutations. We aimed to investigate common mutations in CF patients and to assess its possible relationship with clinical presentations. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 36 CF patients who were referred to a tertiary ped...
متن کاملInflammatory biomarker profile in children with cystic fibrosis: preliminary study.
The aim of this preliminary study was to determine specific proteins, related to inflammation process and nutritional status as well as to total antioxidant capacity, in children suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF). The study was performed on 17 nonhospitalized children (12 boys and 5 girls) with CF aged 3 months to 10 years, who were assisted at the Nutrition Service from Pedro de Elizalde Hos...
متن کاملPulmonary oxidative stress response in young children with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that oxidative stress contributes to lung injury in cystic fibrosis. There is, however, no direct evidence of increased pulmonary oxidative stress in cystic fibrosis nor of the effects of inflammation on the major pulmonary antioxidant, glutathione. A study was undertaken to measure these parameters in infants and young children in the presence or absence of pul...
متن کاملSurfactant composition in infants and young children with cystic fibrosis.
We tested the hypothesis that the composition of bronchial surfactant is normal in infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) in the absence of active lung disease but that it is altered by lower respiratory tract infection and inflammation. We examined the total phospholipid (PL), disaturated phospholipid (DSP), surfactant protein-A (SP-A), surfactant protein B (SP-B), and surface activity in bronchoal...
