The effects of a 1.8 GHz continuous electromagnetic fields on mucociliary transport of human nasal mucosa
… electromagnetic fields (EMF) on human nasal mucociliary transport and to determine the pathophysiology of ciliary beat frequency (CBF) during an EMF-induced change. Human nasal mucosa cells were exposed to a 1.8 GHz EMF (SAR= 1.0 W/kg), and CBF was analyzed using an optical flow technique …

AIRWAY SURFACE HYPERVISCOSITY AND DEFECTIVE MUCOCILIARY TRANSPORT BY IL-17/TNF-ALPHA ARE CORRECTED BY BETA-ADRENERGIC STIMULUS
… controlled by the activity of ion channels and transporters. In cystic fibrosis (CF), loss of CFTR chloride channel function causes airway surface dehydration, bacterial infection, and inflammation. We investigated the effects of IL-17A plus TNF-α, 2 cytokines with relevant roles in CF and other …

Novel endoscopes for microscopic assessment of airway clearance using micro-optical coherence tomography
… via motile hair-like structures (cilia), which transport and eliminate unwanted particles trapped within mucus. Impairment of mucociliary clearance (MCC) can lead to life-threatening airway narrowing and lung infections, and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic …

Ultrastructure and function of respiratory cilia in critical illness
… a problem in the intensive care unit (ICU). The mucociliary transport system is the major defence mechanism against such infection and whilst its efficiency has been shown to be decreased in ICU patients there are few reports in the literature describing the ultrastructure of the respiratory …

Μελέτη της λειτουργικότητας του κροσσωτού επιθηλίου του βλεννογόνου του ιγμόρειου άντρου μετά από έκχυση ραδιοϊσοτόπου 99Tcm-MAA σε ασθενείς με χρόνια ιγμορίτιδα και συσχέτιση με ευρήματα αξονικής τομογραφίας
… μεταφοράς του βλεννοκροσσωτού επιθηλίου (mucociliary transport velocity – MTV) που εκτιμάται με το ρινοσπινθηρογράφημα θεωρείται μια αξιόπιστη μέτρηση της κάθαρσης του βλεννοκροσσωτού επιθηλίου. Σχεδιάσαμε την παρούσα μελέτη με σκοπό τη διερεύνηση, μέσω του ρινοσπινθηρογραφήματος, της …

Identification of a ciliary defect associated with pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease
… predisposition because diseases with defects of mucociliary transport have high rates of PNTM disease that increase with age, suggesting a direct connection between airway epithelial function and PNTM disease. I found that PNTM patients have a distinct respiratory epithelial phenotype ex vivo and …
