OBJECTIVE
To observe the role of aminophylline and simvastatin in preventing and curing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to explore the underlying mechanisms based on airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion.
METHODS
The rat model of COPD was established by combination of
BACKGROUND
The systemic administration of theophylline is useful for asthma treatment. However its narrow therapeutic range makes it difficult to use. Little is known about its potential in inhalation therapy, particularly repeated inhalation.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to investigate
BACKGROUND
Aminophylline, an established bronchodilator, is also purported to be an effective diuretic and anti-inflammatory agent. However, the data to support these contentions are scant. We conducted a prospective, open-label, single arm, single center study to assess the hypothesis that
Although progesterone (P4) supplementation is the most widely used therapy for the prevention of preterm labor (PTL), reports of its clinical efficacy have been conflicting. We have previously shown that the anti-inflammatory effects of P4 can be enhanced by increasing intracellular cAMP levels in
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the role of glucocorticosteroid and theophylline in treatment of asthmatic inflammation and their effects in production of nitric oxide (NO) and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).
METHODS
A murine model was set up (A group: asthma model, N group:
Xanthines have been employed clinically to treat asthma and related pulmonary conditions because of their bronchodilator properties. In addition, xanthines have been reported to block and/or attenuate the increase in microvascular permeability to macromolecules produced by some putative inflammatory
Theophylline is an old drug traditionally used as a bronchodilator, although it was recently shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties, enhance the actions of corticosteroid actions, and stimulate the respiratory neuronal network. Theophylline has been recognized as an important drug for not
We examined in this study the effect of KF19514, a phosphodiesterase 4 and 1 inhibitor, on antigen-induced lung inflammation by inhaled administration in guinea-pigs. It was previously reported that inhaled KF19514 prevented antigen-induced bronchoconstriction and platelet-activating factor
Methotrexate, a mainstay treatment for children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, can cause neurotoxicity, with paralysis, seizures, somnolence, anorexia, and headaches. The pathophysiology of this reaction is unknown. It has been suggested that the anti-inflammatory effect of methotrexate in
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of Shenmai Injection (SMI) and aminophylline on small airway smooth muscle cell (SASMC) apoptosis and the Fas/FasL expression in the papain induced emphysema model rats.
METHODS
Emphysema model in rat was established by a single intratracheal instillation of
The effects of Shenmai injection (SMI) and aminophylline on apoptosis of small airway smooth muscle cells (SASMC) and the Fas/FasL expression in rats with papain-induced emphysema were investigated. Rat emphysema model was established by a single intratracheal instillation of papain. Apoptosis and
OBJECTIVE
This study is to evaluate the effects of aminophylline on systemic inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing valve replacement.
METHODS
Thirty patients undergoing elective valve replacement were randomized to receive either aminophylline treatment
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the protective effect of aminophylline on cerebral injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in infants.
METHODS
Forty patients who underwent ventricular septal defect within 3 years old were randomly divided into 2 groups(20 cases in each group).Aminophylline
OBJECTIVE
Evidence has shown that aminophylline has bronchoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of different doses of aminophylline on the late-phase reaction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) and T cell-related cytokine mRNA
