Expression of the Apoptosis Inhibitor Bcl-2 in Sputum Eosinophils in Patients with Asthma
Background and Objectives: Apoptosis of eosinophils is of significant value in assessing the airway inflammation in patients with asthma. Our purpose was to investigate the degree of expression of the Bcl-2 protein in sputum eosinophils during acute asthma exacerbation and its relationship with exacerbation severity. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in Mostafa Khomeini Ho...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of eosinophils in the sputum.
The sputum differential eosinophil/neutrophil count was done in 384 patients using Leishman staining. The patients were distributed in four groups: bronchial asthma (197 patients); chronic bronchitis with wheezing (45 patients); chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema without wheezing (73 patients); other pulmonary diseases (64 patients). Eosinophils were present in patients from all groups but mor...

Houses), and when suitably dry, a ridge, 4 x 0 3 cm., is made on the block by means of a U-shaped piece of thin metal (Fig. 1). This 'ridger' was made from a piece of waste brass but any other thin metal should serve equally well. The open end of the 'ridger' is pressed firmly onto the block and pushed down evenly through the entire thickness (0 5 cm.) of the block. Three separate ridges are ma...
متن کاملChanges in sputum eosinophils predict loss of asthma control.
Exacerbations of asthma are likely to be due to an increase in airway inflammation. We have studied noninvasive markers of airway inflammation in asthma exacerbations induced by reducing the dose of inhaled corticosteroids. Following a 2-wk run-in period, mild exacerbations were induced in subjects with stable asthma controlled with medium- to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (beclomethasone d...
