Methylation of free-floating deoxyribonucleic acid fragments in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of dogs with chronic bronchitis exposed to environmental tobacco smoke
BACKGROUND The etiology of canine chronic bronchitis (CB) is not completely understood, although exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) affects the airway inflammatory responses in some dogs with CB. The mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. FINDINGS We investigated the concentrations and methylation rates of free-floating DNA fragments in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from ...

متن کاملTobacco Smoke Induced Cough: Mechanisms Driving Acute and Chronic Cough Pathology
Cough is an important protective mechanism that clears foreign material from the airway and aids in immune defence. However, chronic excessive cough of various aetiologies is a common presentation to specialist respiratory clinics, and is reported as a troublesome symptom by a significant proportion of the population (Ford et al., 2006). In extreme situations chronic cough can persist for sever...
متن کاملAgreement Among Radiographs, Fluoroscopy and Bronchoscopy in Documentation of Airway Collapse in Dogs
BACKGROUND Airway collapse is a common finding in dogs with chronic cough, yet the diagnosis can be difficult to confirm without specialty equipment. HYPOTHESIS Bronchoscopic documentation of tracheobronchial collapse will show better agreement with fluoroscopic imaging than with standard radiography. ANIMALS Forty-two dogs prospectively evaluated for chronic cough. METHODS In this prospe...
متن کاملEnvironmental tobacco smoke exposure does not prevent corticosteroids reducing inflammation, remodeling, and airway hyperreactivity in mice exposed to allergen.
The ability of corticosteroids to reduce airway inflammation and improve lung function is significantly reduced in asthmatics who are tobacco smokers compared with asthmatics who are nonsmokers. As not only high levels of tobacco smoke exposure in active smokers, but also significantly lower levels of tobacco smoke exposure from passive environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in nonsmokers c...
