AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on 1-type isoproterenol inhalation therapy for children experiencing severe asthma attacks from 1981 to 1991.
- One hour post-treatment, there were significant improvements in asthmatic status with no reported side effects among patients.
- The findings suggest that 1-type isoproterenol inhalation therapy is an effective treatment option for severe asthma attacks.
Article Abstract
We studied the 1-type isoproterenol inhalation therapy for patients with severe asthmatic attacks who were admitted at the Department of Allergy of National Children's Hospital from 1981 to 1991. One hour after l-type isoproterenol inhalation therapy, statistically significant effects were noted with regard to the asthmatic status. Moreover, no side effect was found amoung the subjects. From these data, 1-type isoproterenol inhalation therapy is thought to be effective for severe asthmatic attacks.

Asthma patients in resource-poor countries cannot obtain adequate basic asthma medications because most asthma medications are supplied as inhalants. An alternative approach is to create oral antiasthmatic drugs with high β/β-selectivity, which should reduce treatment costs. In this study, we designed a cohort of compounds using 2-(4-amino-3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-(-butylamino)ethan-1-ol hydrogen chloride () as the lead compound with an aim to expand the library of compounds possessing the 2-amino-2-phenylethanol scaffold.

Article Synopsis
- Hookah smoking is increasing globally, prompting a study on its effects on heart health in male Wistar rats, specifically focusing on long-term waterpipe tobacco smoking (WTS) and exercise training.
- The study found that WTS combined with isoproterenol (ISO) injections led to significant heart dysfunction, characterized by lower contractility and increased apoptotic markers, highlighting the negative impact of hookah smoke on cardiac health.
- However, incorporating moderate-intensity exercise training appeared to mitigate some of these harmful effects by restoring certain protective proteins and improving heart function despite the presence of hookah smoke.
Inhalation of PM from diesel exhaust promote impairment of mitochondrial bioenergetics and dysregulate mitochondrial quality in rat heart: implications in isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction model.

Ambient exposure of PM from diesel exhaust (termed as diesel particulate matter [DPM]) can induce cardiotoxicity that can be manifested into myocardial ischemia/infarction, where the survival depends on mitochondrial function. The mechanism for DPM-induced mitochondrial dysfunction is yet to be elucidated and the consequential impact of impaired mitochondria on the severity of myocardial infarction (MI) has not been established. Female Wistar rats were exposed to DPM (0.

Background: In children with cirrhosis, the prevalence of HPS ranges from 3% to 20%, resulting in impaired gas exchange due to alterations in pulmonary microvasculature. LT is the gold-standard cure for cirrhosis complicated by HPS and should ideally be performed prior to the development of severe HPS due to increased risk for post-transplant hypoxia, right heart failure, and outflow obstruction.
Methods: We present a case of a 13-year-old man, who underwent pediatric LT for severe HPS complicated by postoperative respiratory collapse, requiring a 92-day course of veno-venous ECMO.

In vitro models of the human lung play an essential role in evaluating the toxicity of inhaled compounds and understanding the development of respiratory diseases. Three-dimensional (3D) organotypic models derived from lung basal epithelial cells and grown at the air-liquid interface resemble human airway epithelium in multiple aspects, including morphology, cell composition, transcriptional profile, and xenobiotic metabolism. Whether the different characteristics of basal cell donors have an impact on model characteristics and responses remains unknown.
