Methacholine challenge in preschool children: methacholine-induced wheeze versus transcutaneous oximetry.
Tracheal/chest auscultation for wheeze and transcutaneous oximetry have both been suggested as measures of outcome in bronchial provocation tests in young children. This study aimed to compare the sensitivity and safety of these two techniques as end-points for methacholine challenge in children aged <4 yrs. Seventy-two methacholine challenges were performed in 39 children aged <4 yrs with recu...
متن کاملEffect of inhaled heparin on methacholine-induced bronchial hyperreactivity.
Although heparin is used as an anticoagulant, its biologic function has remained unclear since the 1920s. Glycosaminoglycan heparin possesses multiple noncoagulant properties, including anti-inflammatory actions, and it is possible that heparin may inhibit airway hyperreactivity. Thus, the purpose of the present investigation was to study the effect of inhaled heparin on methacholine-induced br...
متن کاملAlcohol feeding blocks methacholine-induced airway responsiveness in mice.
Historical accounts of alcohol administration to patients with breathing problems suggest that alcohol may have bronchodilating properties. We hypothesized that acute alcohol exposure will alter airway responsiveness (AR) in mice. To test this hypothesis, C57BL/6 mice were fed either 20% alcohol in drinking water (fed) or received a single intraperitoneal (ip) injection of alcohol (3 g/kg). Con...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase inhibition does not alter methacholine-induced sweating.
Cholinergic agents (e.g., methacholine) induce cutaneous vasodilation and sweating. Reports indicate that either nitric oxide (NO), cyclooxygenase (COX), or both can contribute to cholinergic cutaneous vasodilation. Also, NO is reportedly involved in cholinergic sweating; however, whether COX contributes to cholinergic sweating is unclear. Forearm sweat rate (ventilated capsule) and cutaneous v...
متن کاملDynamic lung morphology of methacholine-induced heterogeneous bronchoconstriction.
Hyperpolarized (HP) 3helium (3He) dynamic MRI was used to investigate airway response in rats following intravenous (i.v.) bolus administration of a contractile agent, methacholine (MCh). The method provides direct visualization of the ventilated regions within the lung. Heterogeneous bronchoconstriction following the i.v. MCh injection was evident using this technique. These 3He dynamic lung i...
