Influence of corticosterone on tracheal mucociliary transport in pigeons.
The effects of corticosteroids on tracheal mucociliary transport (MCT) were examined in pigeons. Intramuscular administration of corticosterone had no effect at 1.0 mg/kg, while at a larger dose of 5.0 mg/kg, it slightly, but significantly increased the MCT rate. Metyrapone significantly decreased the MCT rate, and the inhibitory action was blocked by 1.0 mg/kg corticosterone. The present study...
متن کاملAssessment of pulmonary mucociliary transport using magnetic nanoparticles: influence of their surface potential
Objective(s): Inhaled aerocontaminants are removed from the lungs by pulmonary mucociliary transport (MCT) as an important defense mechanism. This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of the surface potential of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) on the MCT in murine lungs by use of magnetic particle imaging (MPI).Materials and Methods: Three kinds of MNPs (carboxymethyl dextran m...
متن کاملEffect of aging on tracheal mucociliary clearance in beagle dogs.
Tracheal mucous velocity measurements were made in 24 beagle dogs in five age groups, using a gamma camera to detect movement of instilled 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin. Age groups were defined as immature (9-10 mo), young adult (2.8-3.0 yr), middle aged (6.7-6.9 yr), mature (9.6-9.8 yr), and aged dogs (13.6-16.2 yr). Mean velocities were 3.6 +/- 0.4 (SE) mm/min in the immature dogs, 9.7 +/- 0....
متن کاملMucociliary transport in ICU patients.
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to determine the bronchial mucus transport velocities in ventilated ICU patients and to study the possible role of impaired mucus transport in the development of retention of secretion and pneumonia. DESIGN The patients were studied prospectively in a convenience sample trial. SETTING The study took place at a university hospital. PATIENTS Thir...
متن کاملcritical period effects in foreign language learning:the influence of maturational state on the acquisition of reading,writing, and grammar in english as a foreign language
since the 1960s the age effects on learning both first and second language have been explored by many linguists and applied linguists (e.g lennerberg, 1967; schachter, 1996; long, 1990) and the existence of critical period for language acquisition was found to be a common ground of all these studies. in spite of some common findings, some issues about the impacts of age on acquiring a second or...
