<i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> modulins in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease airway inflammation
… epithelial cells, leading to the production of interleukin (IL)-8. We exposed human tracheal epithelial cells to H. <em>influenzae</em> strain Rd and compared the resulting profiles of IL-8 secretion. Putative H. <em>influenzae</em> Rd modulins were enriched from culture supernatant fluid. …

The effects of dietary β-glucan supplementation on performance and immune response of broiler chicks during an Eimeria challenge
… the use of immunomodulators such as β-glucan. A pilot study evaluated the effects of a yeast derived β-glucan (Auxoferm YGT) on growth performance and immune response of broiler chickens. Day-old chicks were fed a diet containing 0, 0.02, or 0.1% yeast β-glucan. On days 7 and 14 post-hatch, body …

Cytokines and aeroallergens in the pathogenesis of summer-pasture associated obstructive pulmonary disease: effects on endothelin production, neutrophil activation and chemotaxis
… inflammation and T lymphocytes cytokine profile with the recruitment and activation of neutrophils and synthesis of ET-1 by mononuclear leukocytes and airway epithelial cells. The temporal pattern of clinical exacerbation was associated with hot and humid conditions and with increases in …

Equine obesity and its role in insulin resistance, inflammation and risk for laminitis
… chemoattractant protein [MCP]-1, MCP-2, interleukin [IL]-8) but not inflammatory cytokine (tumor necrosis factor [TNF]α, IL-1β, IL-6) mRNA expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Additionally, there was a decrease in plasma TNFα protein concentration with weight gain. By using 12 of …

Der Einfluss unterschiedlichen PEEP-Niveaus (PEEP 5 versus PEEP 10 cm H2O) bei kontrollierter Beatmung und druckunterstützter Spontanatmung auf die Zytokinliberation beim induzierten Lungenversagen
Mechanical ventilation ( MV) is the mainstay of therapy for acute lung injury. As a result of an improved understanding that mechanical ventilation itself can contribute to and aggravate the disease process, the term ventilator- associated lung injury has been introduced. Exemplary there is a high …

Development of 'In vitro' intestinal models to study the pharmacology of drugs affecting the gastrointestinal tract in normal and diseased conditions. Development of a cell culture model for intestinal pharmacology.
… on intact intestinal segments taken from the ileum of adult and neonate rats. The application of ACh (3nM-1mM) and 5-HT (3nM-1mM) induced contractions in a concentration dependent manner in all tissues examined. The 5-HT induced contractions were only sensitive to antagonism by atropine (1¿M) …

Compartmental responses of the respiratory tract to Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important nosocomial pathogen associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Previous colonisation with this pathogen is a risk factor for the development of subsequent infection. Tolllike receptors (TLRs) are a family of transmembrane …

Roles of Neutrophil Activation in Asthma
Background: Neutrophilic inflammation has been implicated in allergic asthma as well as occupational asthma, which is usually associated with severe phenotype. Autophagy plays crucial roles in innate as well as adaptive immune responses by contributing to the proliferation, activation and …
