Intracellular action of magnesium in airways smooth muscle relaxation in rabbit
(1999)
This study was designed to examine whether magnesium has an intracellular action on airways smooth muscle contraction. Tracheal muscle strips were obtained from six male rabbits and perfused in a bathing chamber. The muscle ...
Cytokine levels in the sera of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2006)
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibroprotiferative disorder. Cytokines contribute an important but yet undefined role to its pathogenesis. Objectives: The present study aims to compare serum levels of ...
Effect of amiloride in human and sheep parietal pleura
(2002)
The fluid and solute transport properties of human parietal pleura were studied and compared with sheep parietal pleura in vitro. The pleura was mounted as a planar sheet between Ussing-type chambers. The results presented ...
Depression and pulmonary function in outpatients with asthma
(2004)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between depression, anxiety and pulmonary function in asthmatics. Thirty-eight adult asthmatic patients underwent psychometric evaluation with the DSSI/sAD questionnaire, ...
BENIGN POSTPARTUM PLEURAL EFFUSION
(1995)
The conditions of labour appear to favour the development of pleural effusion, The frequency of postpartum pleural effusion was investigated in this study using thoracic ultrasonography. Thirty one postpartum and 22 healthy ...
Peripartum pleural effusion
(1997)
Low glucose level and low pH alter the electrochemical function of human parietal pleura
(2007)
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether low glucose and pH level, which are usually measured in complicated pleural effusions, alter the electrochemical function of healthy human parietal pleura. Parietal ...
Resting tension effect on airway smooth muscle: the involvement of epithelium
(2005)
We studied the influence of resting tension (RT) on rabbit tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) contractions induced by acetylcholine or KCl as well as the role of epithelium and the endogenously produced nitric oxide, prostanoids ...
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Alter the Human Mesothelial Pleural Permeability via Ion Cellular Transportation by Inhibiting Prostaglandin Synthesis
(2012)
Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used in clinical practice as analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Studies have implicated them in participating in permeability throughout various tissues ...
