Revisited role for mucus hypersecretion in the pathogenesis of COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous and complex disease of which the basic pathophysiological mechanisms remain largely unknown. On the basis of recent results from pathological studies and large clinical trials, the presence of airway inflammation does not seem to be sufficient to explain the complexity of the disease and the relatively poor response to treatment. I...
متن کاملCT of inspissated mucus in chronic sinusitis.
However, our search of the literature failed to disclose any report of FMD associated with fenestration of the cervicocephalic arteries; therefore, it is presumed that the association observed in the present patient was incidental. The clinical significance of fenestration of the vertebral artery has not been determined. An aneurysm susceptible to rupture may arise in the proximal portion of th...
متن کاملSusceptibility to Chronic Mucus Hypersecretion, a Genome Wide Association Study
BACKGROUND Chronic mucus hypersecretion (CMH) is associated with an increased frequency of respiratory infections, excess lung function decline, and increased hospitalisation and mortality rates in the general population. It is associated with smoking, but it is unknown why only a minority of smokers develops CMH. A plausible explanation for this phenomenon is a predisposing genetic constitutio...
متن کاملRhinovirus infection induces mucus hypersecretion.
Rhinorrhea is a prominent symptom of the common cold. Although increases in vascular permeability and serous cell secretion have been demonstrated in human nasal mucus during active rhinovirus infections, changes in mucin constituents have not been quantified. Nonallergic ( n= 48) and asymptomatic allergic rhinitis ( n = 32) subjects were inoculated with rhinovirus type hanks before the spring ...
متن کاملThe effect of heparin on antigen-induced mucus hypersecretion in the nasal epithelium of sensitized rats.
BACKGROUND Heparin is a potential anti-inflammatory drug for allergic airway inflammation. To elucidate the effects of heparin on allergic inflammation, we examined the in vivo effects of heparin on antigen-induced mucus hypersecretion and infiltration of eosinophils and neutrophils in the nasal epithelium of sensitized rats. METHODS We induced hypertrophic and metaplastic changes of goblet c...
