Tanshinone IIA attenuates ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in a murine model of asthma
Objective(s): Tanshinone IIA (T. IIA), one of the most pharmacologically active components extracted from Salviae miltiorrhiza, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant features. The aim of the present study is to investigate the benefit of T. IIA on asthma using a murine model of asthma induced by ovalbumin (OVA). Materials and Methods: Male BALB/c mice were used in the present study. The mice we...
متن کاملAirway and systemic inflammation in obese children with asthma.
Obese asthma presents via altered airway and systemic inflammation in adults. This has not been comprehensively described in children. The aim of the present study was to compare airway and systemic inflammation in obese and nonobese asthmatic children and controls. In a cross-sectional study, children aged 8-17 years were assigned to one of four groups: obese asthma (OA, n=74); nonobese asthma...
متن کاملAirway and Systemic Inflammation in Obese Children With Asthma
METHODS. This retrospective review included subjects from 2 cross-sectional studies conducted to assess the relationship between pediatric asthma and adiposity. Selected patients underwent somatometric measurements and skinfold thickness–mediated body fat assessment at 4 sites. The International Obesity Task Force cutoff points were used to categorize patients as normal weight, overweight, or o...
متن کاملChronic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces airway reactivity in vivo in an allergen-induced rabbit model of asthma.
Previous studies have demonstrated that chronic mechanical strain produced by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces in vivo airway reactivity in rabbits and ferrets. For CPAP to potentially have a therapeutic benefit for asthmatic subjects, the reduction in airway responsiveness would need to persist for 12-24 h after its discontinuation, require application for only part of the da...
متن کاملSmall airway inflammation in asthma
Asthma was originally described as an inflammatory disease that predominantly involves the central airways. Pathological and physiological evidence reported during the past few years suggests that the inflammatory process extends beyond the central airways to the peripheral airways and the lung parenchyma. The small airways are capable of producing T-helper-2 cytokines, as well as chemokines, a...
