  2. 1. Aspects on the management of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis

    Author : Helen Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; eosinophilia; esophagitis; dysphagia; quality of life; bolus impaction;

    Abstract : Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory disorder of the esophagus characterized by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and eosinophilia in the esophageal mucosa. This condition may affect approximately 1% of the general population and is strongly associated with allergy/atopic diatheses. READ MORE

  4. 2. Uridine, 4-thiouridine and isomaltitol in an asthma-like model : Anti-inflammatory and modulating effects

    Author : Chamilly Evaldsson; Srinivas Uppugunduri; Margareta Linden; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Uridine; asthma; 4-thiouridine; isomaltitol; isomalt; inflammation; eosinophilia; Sephadex; animal model; rat; Pharmaceutical pharmacology; Farmaceutisk farmakologi; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Lung diseases; Lungsjukdomar;

    Abstract : In chronic inflammatory diseases like asthma or rheumatoid arthritis, erroneous and exaggerated accumulation of leukocytes in a tissue inadvertently causes the body harm. Several efficient anti-inflammatory drugs exist, for example corticosteroids and cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Airway allergic inflammation. A role of bone marrow and relationship to substance P

    Author : Masafumi Tomaki; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; eosinophils; bone marrow; T lymphocytes; IL-3; IL-5; GM-CSF; substance P.;

    Abstract : Airway inflammation, along with reversible airway narrowing and airway hyperresponsiveness, is a central pathophysiological feature of bronchial asthma. The airway inflammation in asthma is dominated by eosinophils, cells that originate in the bone marrow. READ MORE

  6. 4. Metachromatic cells and eosinophils in atopic children : A prospective study

    Author : Magnus Persson Borres; Göran Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Metachromatic cells and eosinophil leukocytes were studied prospectively in 64 newborns with and without a family history of atopic disease (FH). Cellfindings in nasal mucosa and peripheral blood were related to development of atopic symptoms up to 18 months of age. For this purpose, a gentle scraping method suitable for infants was developed.

  7. 5. Allergic airway inflammation and bone marrow eosinophilopoiesis. Modulation by cytokines

    Author : Lin-Ling Zhao; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergy; airway inflammation; cytokine; eosinophil; eosinophilopoiesis;

    Abstract : Accumulation of eosinophils in the airways and lung parenchyma is one of the hallmarks of allergic airway inflammation. This cellular inflammatory response is likely to involve the release of eosinophils from peripheral storage pools and possibly cause production of eosinophils in the bone marrow (BM). READ MORE
