Macrorheology of cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease & normal sputum
BACKGROUND Prior microrheologic assessments of selected, microlitre plugs of cystic fibrosis (CF) sputum suggest no intrinsic rheologic abnormality. However, such analyses may not be representative of CF sputum as a whole. We therefore reassessed this question using whole sputum macrorheology. Additionally, we wished to further explore the relationships between sputum rheology, inflammation and...
متن کاملPulmonary surfactant, lung function, and endobronchial inflammation in cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is primarily a disease of the small airways. We hypothesized that even in patients with normal lung function, a reduced surfactant function would be present and favor small airway obstruction. Bronchoalveolar lavages from 76 patients with CF (5-31 years, median 11) with well-conserved lung function (FEV1 94% predicted, range 78-121) and from 10 healthy control ...
متن کاملInflammation and Airway Microbiota during Cystic Fibrosis Pulmonary Exacerbations
BACKGROUND Pulmonary exacerbations (PEx), frequently associated with airway infection and inflammation, are the leading cause of morbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF). Molecular microbiologic approaches detect complex microbiota from CF airway samples taken during PEx. The relationship between airway microbiota, inflammation, and lung function during CF PEx is not well understood. OBJECTIVE To de...

متن کاملHow Can We Target Pulmonary Inflammation in Cystic Fibrosis?
With each year our enhanced understanding of the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is challenged by new discoveries related to the increasingly complex nature of this disorder. Originally described as a genetic disorder principally due to defective chloride ion conductance at epithelial surfaces and a predisposition to bacterial colonization have been moved into the category of an inflammato...
