Cortisol exerts bi-phasic regulation of inflammation in humans.
Natural and synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used for decades to suppress inflammation. In this paper, we re-examine the role of the endogenous GC, cortisol, as a primary homeostatic regulator of the human inflammatory response to injury. Our data show that cortisol regulation of innate immunity can be both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory. Using a human model of in vivo cortisol...
متن کاملAssociation of airway obstruction, sleep, and phasic abdominal muscle activity after upper abdominal surgery.
We recorded nasal gas flow, sleep stage, and abdominal muscle EMG pattern in 11 patients throughout the night after abdominal surgery, to examine the association between phasic activity of the abdominal muscles, sleep stage, and flow disturbance. We used a miniaturized data logging system, and obtained satisfactory records in eight patients. The data were divided into 30-s epochs. Each epoch wa...
متن کاملDeterminants of airway hyperresponsiveness—Balance of tonic and phasic contractility of airway smooth muscles of lobular bronchioles
Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a characteristic feature of asthma, and generally correlates with severity of asthma. Understanding the protection mechanism against excessive airway narrowing and how it breaks down is fundamental to solving the problem of asthma. In this paper we have proposed a stochastic modeling the airway smooth muscle bundle for reproducing AHR such as an increased sen...

J Appl Physiol 91: 905–911, 2001.— The hypothesis that respiratory modulation due to upper airway (UA) pressure and flow is dependent on stimulus modality and respiratory phase-specific activation was assessed in anesthetized, tracheotomized, spontaneously breathing piglets.

متن کاملLaryngeal muscle response to phasic and tonic upper airway pressure and flow.
The hypothesis that respiratory modulation due to upper airway (UA) pressure and flow is dependent on stimulus modality and respiratory phase-specific activation was assessed in anesthetized, tracheotomized, spontaneously breathing piglets. Negative pressure and flow applied to the isolated UA at room or body temperature during inspiration only enhanced posterior cricoarytenoid muscle activity ...
