Oscillatory pressure transients after flow interruption during bronchial challenge test in children.
The measurement of the conventional interrupter resistance (Rint) is dependent on pressure equilibration between alveolar and airway opening pressure, which is often not achieved in the presence of severe airways obstruction or in small children. The damping properties (d) of postocclusional oscillatory pressure transients after rapid flow interrruption can be assessed independent of complete p...
متن کاملFailure to demonstrate complement activation during bronchial challenge test.
In order to demonstrate a possible complement activation during early bronchospastic reaction in asthma, we have measured plasmatic C3d (a split product of C3) and the C3d/C3 index, both of which are sensitive indices of complement activation. Twenty-nine allergenic bronchial challenge tests were accomplished, with an absence of response in six cases, an early reaction in sixteen cases and a du...
متن کاملMethacoline Challenge test as an Evaluator of Response to Statins in Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), are effective serum cholesterol-lowering agents which also have anti-inflammatory properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin on bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Adult patients (age 14 to 65 years) with bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) diagnosis based on the spirometry with methacholine challe...

متن کاملBreathing pattern during bronchial challenge in humans.
Increases in minute ventilation (V'E) have been observed during exacerbations of asthma and in response to administration of histamine. However, it is not yet clear how the breathing pattern is affected, and whether the increase in V'E is found in general. In the present study, the effects of inhalation of histamine on respiratory frequency (fR), tidal volume (VT), V'E, and on functional residu...
