The role of adenosine A2A receptor signaling in bronchiolitis obliterans.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Binding of adenosine to the anti-inflammatory Gs-coupled adenosine 2A receptor (A(2A)R) inhibits the activity of most inflammatory cells. Extensive preclinical evidence exists for the use of A(2A)R agonists in the prevention of acute ... Read more...

[Lung diseases and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease]

30 Aug 2009 Gastro -oesophageal Reflux Disease is a consequence of pathological reflux from stomach to oesophagus. Whenever the refluxed contents extended beyond the oesophagus itself, is called Extraoesophageal Reflux Disease. The author proposes a review ... Read more...

Presence of c-KIT-positive mast cells in obliterative bronchiolitis from diverse causes.

30 Aug 2009 CONTEXT: The mechanism of fibrosis is not clear in patients with obliterative bronchiolitis after a remote injury. Immune-mediated progression may be a reason. c-KIT (CD117)-positive mast cells have been associated with chronic fibrosing diseases ... Read more...
