Ciliary action.
To those interested in diseases of the chest, ciliary action should be of absorbing interest, not only through its importance in the interpretation and treatment of inflammatory infections, but also from its intrinsic physiological fascination. It is surprising that physicians place so much stress on the value of cough and so little on that of ciliary action; the former is really a pathological...
متن کاملCiliary dyskinesias: primary ciliary dyskinesia in adults
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder of cilia structure and function, chronic infections of the respiratory tract, fertility problems and disorders of organ laterality. Establishing a definitive diagnosis can be challenging, requiring a compatible phenotype and detection of ciliary functional and ultra-structural defects, along with newer screening tools such as nasal nitric o...
متن کاملTimolol may inhibit aqueous humor secretion by cAMP-independent action on ciliary epithelial cells.
The beta-adrenergic antagonist timolol reduces ciliary epithelial secretion in glaucomatous patients. Whether inhibition is mediated by reducing cAMP is unknown. Elemental composition of rabbit ciliary epithelium was studied by electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Volume of cultured bovine pigmented ciliary epithelial (PE) cells was measured by electronic cell sizing; Ca(2+) activity and pH were...
متن کاملRegulation of ciliary beat frequency in airways: shear stress, ATP action, and its modulation.
MUCOCILIARY TRANSPORT IS a vital component of host defense and plays a crucial role in the removal of foreign materials within the airways. A dysfunction of ciliary beating can lead to serious respiratory problems such as airflow obstructions or Kartagener syndrome. The airway ciliary beat frequency (CBF) increases in response to a variety of stimulations, such as parasympathetic or sympathetic...
متن کاملImpact of thymol in thyme extracts on their antispasmodic action and ciliary clearance.
Thyme is a herb with broncholytic und secretomotoric effects. Its activity on beta (2) receptors as a possible mechanism of action was demonstrated. Major components are thymol and carvacrol which are claimed to be responsible for its effects and, therefore, used for standardization in the German pharmacopoeia (0.03 % phenols calculated as thymol). Our aim was to investigate the impact of thymo...
