The mitogenic effect of testosterone and 17 beta-estradiol on airway smooth muscle cells
(2011)Airway disease distribution and/or severity exhibit sex differences suggesting that sex hormones are involved in the respiratory system physiology and pathophysiology. The implication of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) ... -
Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae: a comparative study in patients with nasal polyposis and healthy controls
(2015)Introduction: The role played by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps has been the object of ongoing debate. We used real-time polymerase chain ... -
Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in the exhaled breath condensate of children with OSA
(2012)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children has been associated with systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Limited evidence indicates that pediatric OSA is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in the airway. ... -
PRESCRIPTION OF BRONCHODILATOR DRUGS BY PRIMARY HEALTH-CARE PHYSICIANS IN ASTHMA
(1994)With the purpose of estimating the use of bronchodilators in asthma management as prescribed by primary health physicians (PHCP) in Greece, 62 PHCP answered a questionnaire about the manner of choice of treatment, the ... -
Prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Cyprus: A Population-Based Study
(2012)Background: The prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Cyprus is largely unknown. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of COPD in Cyprus through a spirometry population-based program ... -
RANTES promoter gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe respiratory syncytial virus-induced bronchiolitis
(2008)Background: Severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is characterized by enhanced chemokine activity. Several studies have linked increased regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) ... -
TNF alpha induces expression of HIF-1 mRNA and protein but inhibits hypoxic stimulation of HIF-1 alpha transcriptional activity in airway smooth muscle cells
(2013)Airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) participate in tissue remodeling characteristic of airway inflammatory diseases like asthma. Inflammation and hypoxia pathways are often interconnected and the regulatory subunit of the ... -
VEGF, TNF-alpha and 8-isoprostane levels in exhaled breath condensate and serum of patients with lung cancer
(2009)The aim of the present study was to evaluate the levels of VEGF, 8-isoprostane and TNF-alpha in EBC and serum of patients with primary lung cancer prior to the initiation of any treatment, in order to evaluate their possible ...
