چکیده
Aim Asthma is a chronic disease of the lower respiratory tract that is characterized by inflammation and bronchial obstruction. The pathophysiology of the disease is related to constriction of the bronchial smooth muscle, something that is influenced by calcium homeostasis. Important role in calcium homeostasis, play various binding proteins, which belongs to the family of proteins S100 (S100). The purpose of this study was to measure S100 protein in a group of children with bronchial asthma (BA) in comparison with age-sex matched control group.

متن کاملSerum levels of IL-17A increase in Asthma but not in accordance with Serum level of IgE and Asthma Severity
Background and Aims: Recent evidence suggests that T helper (Th) 17 cells are involved in the emergence of asthma. Th17 cells have a key role in inducing inflammation in asthmatic airways thus Interleukin (IL)-17A, the main cytokine of Th17, contributes to airways inflammation. Materials and Methods: We evaluated the level of IL-17A and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) in sera of 100 asthmatic p...

متن کاملSerum and Saliva Theophylline Levels in Adult Outpatients with Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A Cross-Sectional Study
Due to a narrow therapeutic range, measurment of theophylline serum levels is highly recommended in patients with a long-term theophylline therapy. In this regard, since blood sampling is an invasive method, exploring alternative methods using other biological fluids in particular saliva samples are targeted. This study was designed to determine any relationship between serum and saliva levels ...
