Immediate response to cigarette smoke.
Using an automated method of calculating airways resistance in the body plethysmograph, we have investigated changes occurring immediately after inhalation of cigarette smoke. Decreases in specific conductance occurred by the time of the first measurement seven or eight seconds after exposure to single inhalations of cigarette smoke in 12 smokers and 12 non-smokers. Less than half of the initia...
متن کاملlINk TO CIGARETTE SMOkE
Lung cancer remains the most common fatal malignancy in the Western world. Survival rates have only improved modestly over the past three decades and new approaches are urgently required. It is clear that a concerted effort to reduce cigarette smoking is required. However, about 10% of patients with lung cancer are never smokers, indicating genetic or other predisposition. Lung cancer screening...
متن کاملAltered arousal response in infants exposed to cigarette smoke.
AIMS A failure of the arousal mechanism is a key feature in the apnoea theory for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In infants studied at an age when the incidence of SIDS is highest, we evaluated whether in utero smoke exposed infants have altered arousal response to standardised auditory stimuli, and/or sleep pattern, as recorded on overnight complex sleep polysomnography. METHODS A stan...
متن کاملVariation in response to cytotoxicity of cigarette smoke.
The cytotoxic effect of cigarette smoke condensate on human polymorphs was investigated in vitro by the method of vital dye exclusion. Exposure to 1/800 of the smoke from one high-tar cigarette killed a detectable proportion of a population of 10(6) cells. The response among the cells from 40 healthy people varied widely, the percentage of dead cells ranging from 3% to 66% and from 17% to 87% a...
متن کاملCigarette smoke represses the innate immune response to asbestos
Both cigarette smoke (CS) and asbestos cause lung inflammation and lung cancer, and at high asbestos exposure levels, populations exposed to both of these carcinogens display a synergistic increase in the development of lung cancer. The mechanisms through which these two toxic agents interact to promote lung tumorigenesis are poorly understood. Here, we begin to dissect the inflammatory signals...
