1. Estudo da ativação eosinofílica e de matriz extracelular de tecido pulmonar periférico em cobaias com inflamação alérgica pulmonar: efeitos do tratamento com dexametasona e antagonista do receptor do cisteinil-leucotrieno D4
Aims: Compare the effects of montelukast or dexamethasone treatments on eosinophilic recruitment, eotaxin, RANTES, fibronectin, IGF-I and NF-B positive cells of distal lung parenchyma and also in airway walls of guinea pigs (GP) with chronic allergic inflammation. Methods: GP were inhaled with ovalbumin (OVA group-2x/week/4weeks). After 4th inhalation, GP we

2. Evaluation of anti-inflammatory activities of ethanolic extract of Annona muricata leaves
Traditionally, the leaves of Annona muricata L., Annonaceae, are used to treat headaches, fever, toothache, cough and asthma. The decoction of the leaves has parasiticide, antirheumatic and antineuralgic effects when used internally, while the cooked leaves, applied topically, fight rheumatism and abscesses. The aim of this study was to investigate acute and

3. Use and limitations of peripheral tolerance in experimental model of asthma / Uso e limitações da tolerância imunológica periférica em modelo de asma experimental
Mucosal administration of soluble Ags, before the sensitization with the same Ag, leads to mucosal tolerance. We studied the effect of i.n. LPS during the induction of ovalbumin (OVA) nasal tolerance. The majority of murine models of asthma used OVA as allergen,thus, we also used Blomia tropicalis (Bt) extract, a mite more common in asthmatic patients. Featu

4. O estresse físico modula a mecânica de tecido pulmonar periférico, a expressão de citocinas e o estresse oxidativo em cobaias com inflamação alérgica crônica / Physical stress modulates lung tissue mechanics, cytokines and oxidative stress activation in guinea pigs with chronic allergic inflammation
There are evidences showing that stress can worsen asthma symptoms, but the exact mechanisms that link them are not clarified, especially in the distal lung parenchyma. Recently, the importance of the lung parenchyma has been emphasized in the modulations of the functional alterations, inflammatory and remodeling that characterizes asthma. These alterations

5. Estudo da inibição do oxido nitrico sobre funções de eosinofilos humanos estimulados com eotaxina e RANTES in vitro / Study of nitric oxide inhibition in human eosinophil functions stimulated in vitro with eotaxin and RANTES
Eosinophils participate in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases, including parasitic infections and allergic diseases. Of the allergic diseases, asthma is characterized by eosinophilia. Currently, asthma affects 300 million people in world, and is an important public health problem. Asthma is an inflammatory chronic disease that involves interactio

6. Avaliação da resposta inflamatória pulmonar e do transporte mucociliar em modelo de inflamação alérgica pulmonar: modulação pelo estresse induzido pela natação forçada / Evaluation of pulmonary inflammatory responses and mucociliary transport in a model of chronic allergic inflammation: modulation by stress induced by forced swimming
Background: It has increasing evidence linking the role of stress in the onset of asthma exacerbation and in the maintenance of asthmatic crises, as well as the importance of mucus production and the mucociliary clearance in the asthma physiopathology. Objectives: So, we consider relevant to evaluate in guinea pigs with pulmonary chronic allergic inflammatio

7. Nitric oxide paradox in asthma
Asthma results from allergen-driven intrapulmonary Th2 response, and is characterized by intermittent airway obstruction, airway hyperreactivity (AHR), and airway inflammation. Accumulating evidence indicates that inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract are commonly associated with elevated production of nitric oxide (NO). It has been shown that exhal

8. Role of immunoglobulin E and mast cells in murine models of asthma
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) and mast cells are believed to play important roles in allergic inflammation. However, their contributions to the pathogenesis of human asthma have not been clearly established. Significant progress has been made recently in our understanding of airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness through studies of murine models of asth

9. Dissection of experimental asthma with DNA microarray analysis identifies arginase in asthma pathogenesis
Asthma is on the rise despite intense, ongoing research underscoring the need for new scientific inquiry. In an effort to provide unbiased insight into disease pathogenesis, we took an approach involving expression profiling of lung tissue from mice with experimental asthma. Employing asthma models induced by different allergens and protocols, we identified

10. Clustering of non-major histocompatibility complex susceptibility candidate loci in human autoimmune diseases
Human autoimmune diseases are thought to develop through a complex combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genome-wide linkage searches of autoimmune and inflammatory/immune disorders have identified a large number of non-major histocompatibility complex loci that collectively contribute to disease susceptibility. A comparison was made of the linka

11. Models of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major global health problem and is predicted to become the third most common cause of death by 2020. Apart from the important preventive steps of smoking cessation, there are no other specific treatments for COPD that are as effective in reversing the condition, and therefore there is a need to understand the

12. Infection with Strongyloides venezuelensis Induces Transient Airway Eosinophilic Inflammation, an Increase in Immunoglobulin E, and Hyperresponsiveness in Rats
Infection by nematode parasites with a pulmonary migration in their life cycle and allergic asthma are two highly prevalent diseases in humans; therefore, one may expect both may occur concomitantly. There is a predominant and essential role of Th2 lymphocytes in the mechanisms underlying the control of parasite elimination as well as in the pathology observ
