The variability of sputum sol phase proteins was studied in 27 patients with stable chronic obstructive bronchitis. Within individual patients (n 1/2 11), variability over 5 consecutive days was similar for each of 4 proteins studied: average coefficient of variation (CV) for albumin was 39.8% for

A total of 117 children with recurrent and chronic bronchitis aged from 2 months to 16 years were subjected to combined ventilation-perfusion scan of the lungs with 133Xe-gas and 99mTc-HAM. It served as a screening before bronchological examination with the aim to get a more exact indication for

Advanced emphysema with bronchitis is associated with significant weight loss and malnutrition, the true cause of which has not been clearly identified. The purpose of this exploratory study was to compare plasma amino acids and related compounds and catecholamines in a group of patients with

Within and between patient variability in the sputum sol phase secretory IgA system was studied in 31 patients with clinically stable chronic obstructive bronchitis. Within patient coefficients of variation (CV) were similar for secretory component (SC), free secretory component (FSC), total

The infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) nucleocapsid protein was expressed as a bacterial fusion protein which differed from the native protein only in the addition of six amino terminus histidine residues. Using RNA overlay protein blot assays, the recombinant protein was shown to bind to RNA

BACKGROUND Recent studies of the role of bacteria in chronic bronchitis have shown that bacterial colonisation is associated with enhanced inflammation and that purulent acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB) are associated with bacteria and characterised by increased inflammation. Changes

Previous studies indicated that the nucleocapsid (N) protein of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) interacted with specific sequences in the 3' non-coding region of IBV RNA. In order to identify domains in the N protein that bind to RNA, the whole protein (409 amino acids) and six overlapping

A number of numeric measurements have been suggested to describe the pattern of deposition of inhaled aerosols, but there is little information about the relationship between the different measurements. We compared four different methods for analysis of aerosol deposition pattern with respect to
