Salivary Flow Rate and pH in Asthmatic and Non-Asthmatic Patients
Background and Aim: Saliva is an essential fluid for protecting the mouth, and any change in its quality or quantity affects the health of the oral cavity. Asthma and the medications used to treat it may decrease salivary flow and change salivary components, including changes in the pH of the dental plaque. The purpose of this study was to determine the salivary flow and pH in asthmatic and non...
متن کاملIncreased expression of ADAM33 protein in asthmatic patients as compared to non-asthmatic controls
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES ADAM33 is a member of a family of genes that encode membrane-anchored proteins with a disintegrin and a metalloprotease domain, primarily expressed in lung fibroblasts and bronchial smooth muscle cells. ADAM33 has been identified as a risk factor for asthma and is known as a gene associated with airway remodelling. The present study was conducted with the aims to investi...
متن کاملRole of eosinophilic inflammation and atopy in elderly asthmatic patients
BACKGROUND Asthma in the elderly is severe and associated with poor treatment outcome. Although atopy has an important role in pathogenesis, its role in the elderly is unclear, partly due to immune senescence. OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the associations of Th2-mediated inflammation with asthma severity in the elderly. METHODS Consecutive asthmatics older than 60 years without severe exac...
متن کاملTheophylline in Asthmatic Patients
Recently, it has become evident that some quinolones affect the processing of theophylline in the human system. The effect of a new quinolone, sparfloxacin, on the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of theophyUine was investigated in six asthmatic patients receiving chronic theophylline therapy (a sustained-release theophylline tablet formulation of 200 to 300 mg twice daily at 12-h intervals). To...
متن کاملIncreased cytokine/chemokines in serum from asthmatic and non-asthmatic patients with viral respiratory infection
BACKGROUND Respiratory viral infections can induce different cytokine/chemokine profiles in lung tissues and have a significant influence on patients with asthma. There is little information about the systemic cytokine status in viral respiratory-infected asthmatic patients compared with non-asthmatic patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine changes in circulating cytokines...
