Author response—vitamin D deficiency and systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis.
Dr Charles Shee raises a further possible explanation for our finding of an association between vitamin D status and disease severity in bronchiectasis, that low vitamin D status represents a negative acute phase response to acute inflammation. Our study was cross-sectional and was unable to establish whether vitamin D deficiency is a cause or consequence of bronchiectasis. Possible explanation...
متن کاملThe heterogeneity of systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis.
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis is poorly studied in relation to aetiology and severity. We hypothesized that molecular patterns of inflammation may define particular aetiology and severity groups in bronchiectasis. METHOD We assayed blood concentrations of 31 proteins from 90 bronchiectasis patients (derivation cohort) and conducted PCA to examine relationships between the...
متن کاملSystemic markers of inflammation in stable bronchiectasis.
Patients with bronchiectasis have an active local and systemic inflammatory response during infective exacerbations. Systemic markers of inflammation were investigated during a stable phase of their illness, because continued inflammation could affect their general health and be involved in disease progression. The relationship between levels of various systemic markers of inflammation and exte...
متن کاملDoes airway colonization cause systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis?
Recent evidence suggests the presence of accompanying systemic inflammation in chronic inflammatory airway diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma; however little is known regarding the presence of systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis. Although bronchiectasis was initially considered a stationary process, chronic bacterial colonization causes airway inflammation and...
متن کاملEffect of Elastic Resistance Training and Vitamin D on Systemic Inflammation Indices in Untrained Men: A Clinical Trial
Background: Recent studies demonstrate the ability of vitamin D to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Objectives: The current study aimed at examining the effect of vitamin D supplementation on systemic inflammation markers during an eight-week elastic resistance training (ERT) on untrained men. Materials and Methods: Forty healthy males with no experience in resistance...
