Mechanisms of allergic inflammation in bronchial asthma
نویسنده
چکیده
36 A very complex mechanisms depending on inflammatory mediators are the background of allergic inflammation in airways. This is manifested by several phenomena like transudate, mucosal edema, increased secretion of mucus, changed viscosity of discharge, impairment of cilliary transportation and contraction of smooth muscles of bronchi. The above symptoms and shedding of respiratory epithelium lead to the obturation of bronchi, i.e. to impaired ventilation of airways due to the constriction of their lumen.

Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Bronchial Asthma
Allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma are two entities often coexisting. In fact, during recent years the concept “one airway, one disease” has been proposed. Many asthmatic patients, particularly those with allergic asthma, also have allergic rhinitis (AR). The mucosa of the upper and lower airways is continuous, and the type of inflammation in AR and asthma is very similar, involving T-helpe...

The unified airway It has long been recognised that there is an association between allergic inflammation in the upper airway (that is, allergic rhinitis) and in the lower airway (that is, allergic bronchitis or asthma). Indeed, up to 40% of patients with asthma have allergic rhinitis and vice versa. Both conditions have similar immunological mechanisms and underlying pathogenesis 3 and, since ...

متن کاملThe effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma and cytokine responses in mice
Objective(s): Allergic Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs that is characterized by increased infiltration of leukocytes into the airways, limiting the respiratory function. Studies suggest that a defective general regulatory system against inflammation could be a significant factor in allergic asthma. It has been shown that Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a cellular immunosuppres...
متن کاملPatients with allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma share the same pattern of eosinophil and neutrophil degranulation after allergen challenge
BACKGROUND Patients with allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma demonstrate comparable local and systemic eosinophil inflammation, and yet they present with different clinical pictures. Less is even known about the contribution of neutrophil inflammation in allergic diseases. The aim of the study was to examine the propensity and selectivity of granule release from primed systemic eosinophils an...
