abstract：:The normal balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis in the pleural cavity is poorly understood despite the critical role of the pleura in the movement of the lungs. To determine the fibrinolytic activity and the interaction between plasminogen activators and their inhibitors in the normal pleural space, we tested ...

abstract：:To determine whether changes in breathing pattern alone affect respiratory heat loss (RHL) and the constrictor response to cold dry gas hyperpnea in asthmatic subjects, we performed the following 2 part study: first we measured RHL in 8 asthmatic and 8 normal subjects during controlled eucapnic hyperpnea while they br...

abstract：:Endobronchial Nd:Yag laser therapy is an excellent tool to reopen the central airway(s) in patients with severe respiratory symptoms caused by endobronchial tumor growth. Rigid bronchoscopy should be the method of choice. Usually general anesthesia is necessary. Complication rate depends on the condition of the patien...

abstract：:The role of leukotrienes in hypoxic vasoconstriction remains controversial. Our previous study using the lipoxygenase inhibitor BW 755C in dogs failed to show a substantive role for leukotrienes in hypoxic vasoconstriction. To clarify further the role of leukotrienes, we designed 3 protocols. In the first protocol, we...

abstract：:A method has been developed for the isolation of bovine type II pneumocytes by enzymatic tissue dissociation and subsequent density gradient centrifugation. After mechanical defibrination, the crude cell suspension contains 71.9 +/- 26.6 X 10(7) cells (viability greater than 95%) with a type II cell purity of 39.4 +/-...

abstract：:It is well established that cotton dust inhalation can compromise lung function in textile workers. Challenges with a water-soluble extract of cotton bract (CBE) can also induce reversible airway obstruction in healthy volunteers. We have examined the effect of inhaled CBE in nonhuman primates and have attempted to in...

Vascular leakage of plasma results from inflammatory mediator-induced separation of endothelial cells in postcapillary venules belonging to the tracheobronchial circulation. Whereas pro...
