▼ A foglalkozási asthma az extrinsic asthma bronchiale olyan variánsa, amelyet a munkahelyen tartósan, nagy mennyiségben jelenlévő anyagok, vagyis expozíciók belégzése indukál. A megbetegedés eredményeként a levegő áramlása csökken a légutakban. Az asthmát kiváltani képes kóroki tényezők közé ma már több mint 200 anyagot sorolhatunk, melyek két csoportot alkotnak. Az egyik csoport a nagy molekulatömegű fehérjetermészetű anyagok csoportja. A másik csoport a kis molekulatömegű kémiai anyagokat foglalja magába. Munkahelyi allergének közül kiemelhetők a szerves oldószerek (pl. izocianátok), a fémek (nikkel, platinasók), állati (laboratóriumi állatok vizelete, szőre) és növényi eredetű (gabonapor, liszt) anyagok. A diplomamunka célkitűzése volt, hogy összefoglaló képet adjon a foglalkozási asthma magyarországi állapotáról. A munka irodalmi összefoglaló. A diplomamunkában szereplő hazai gyakorisági adatokat az Országos Munkahigénés és Foglalkozás-egészségügyi Intézetbe (OMFI) és a Shield programba bejelentett esetekből összegeztem 1998 és 2003 közötti időszakra vonatkozólag és hasonlítottam össze Nagy-Britannia értékeivel. Az adatok időbeni változását elemezve egyértelműen leolvasható, hogy ha nem is egyenletes mértékben, de csökken a foglalkozási asthma előfordulása Magyarországon és Nagy-Britanniában is. Mivel a foglalkozási asthmát könnyebb megelőzni, mint kezelni, ezért nagy jelentőséget kell fordítanunk a munkahelyi prevencióra. Primer prevenció során az egyéni és környezeti faktoroknak való kitettség csökkentése a cél. Ezen célra használjuk fel pl. a zárt technológiát, az elszívó berendezéseket. A secunder prevenció célja a preklinikai elváltozások azonosítása előzetes és időszakos alkalmassági vizsgálatok során. Tercier prevenció a betegség minél hamarabbi kezelését és a beteg allergén expozícióból történő eltávolítását foglalja magába a szövődmények és a súlyosbodás elkerülése érdekében. A foglalkozási asthmások számának a vizsgált időszakban bekövetkező csökkenése remélhetőleg legalább részben a hatékony prevenciónak köszönhető.

D.N.P. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2016.

Asthma has debilitating effects which impact the mental, physical and socio-economic aspects of the population. The Ka’u district has the highest number of adults who have asthma. The project was guided by the ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation complimented by community participatory approach. Literature review and synthesis revealed that community-based asthma education and asthma self-management that includes self-efficacy, an asthma action plan, journal writing, and the use of peak flow meters are the most effective interventions for asthma control. The objective of the project was to determine whether community-based asthma education and self-management including: self-efficacy, an asthma action plan, journal writing, and use of peak flow meters, reduces asthma exacerbations. The Ka’u Community Asthma Management Program (KCAMP) is an evidence-based practice project designed to improve the practice of management of asthma. One-on-one and group asthma educational teaching and skills training sessions were provided to participants. The program sessions were held in Naʻālehu, Hawai’i at Hui Mālama Ola Nā ‛Ōiwi, at the Hawai’i County Economic Opportunity Council Center, and in the residences of the participants. Fourteen adult residents with asthma from the Ka’u District, ages from 28 to 75 years old participated in the program. There were 64% (n=9) females and 36% (n=5) males. The racially diverse group included ten Hawaiians, three Asians, and one Caucasian. Participation in the program resulted in the increase of asthma knowledge 93% (n=13); ACT scores increased by 100% (n=14); MiniAQLQ scores increased by 93% (n=13); peak flow measurements increased by 86% (n=12); FEV1 levels increased by 64% (n=9); and, 71% (n=10) choosing asthma education as the most helpful intervention. This project increased participants’ knowledge in asthma, decreased asthma exacerbations, prevented hospitalization, provided participants confidence to manage their asthma and increased their quality of life. The key implication for practice is to promote KCAMP as a community based asthma self-management program. The barriers and challenges of the project serve as exemplars for others the incentive to create plans to overcome these obstacles. This project serves as a form of asthma self-management program in the community setting.

Asthma is a chronic immune inflammatory disease characterized by variable airflow obstruction and increased bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR). Inflammation is the hallmark of asthma and allergic disorders. The incidence of asthma has increased world over, which presents both public health and economic concerns. Asthma results from constriction or narrowing of bronchial tube caused by muscle spasm and airway narrowing due to immune inflammation. Efforts are therefore required to find out appropriate anti-inflammatory drug with no or minimal side-effect for management of the disease. The current asthma therapy is given to control symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and or shortness of breath. However, the medications do not relieve the underlying inflammatory process of asthma completely. Inhaled glucocorticosteroids are at present the most effective controller medications. But controlled clinical trials have demonstrated that long-term treatment with high doses of inhaled glucocorticosteroids may be associated with systemic side-effects, including skin thinning and easy bruising, adrenal suppression and decreased bone mineral density. Choline, as a lipotropic factor is needed for maintaining cell structure and to facilitate the movement of fats in and out of cells. Choline, the major constituent of phosphatidylcholine (PC), is found in soybean, liver, oatmeal, cabbage and cauliflower. Previous studies with choline showed anti-inflammatory activity in arthritis animal model. But, whether choline had anti-inflammatory activity in the airways remains to be investigated. The present study (chapter 2) aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of choline in mouse model of allergic airway inflammation. Choline (1 mg/kg) was administered via oral gavage or intranasal (i.n.) route before and after ovalbumin (OVA) challenge in sensitized mice. Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to methacholine was measured in mice by whole body plethysmography.

Background: Asthma is one of the major chronic diseases in the pediatric population affecting 9.5% of children. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) recommends the use of the Childhood-Asthma Control Test or the Asthma Control Test for periodic assessment of asthma control as one of the four validated instruments. Despite the recommendation from the national guidelines, research has shown adherence to the guidelines is suboptimal.Purpose: The purpose of this evidence-based project was to implement the Childhood-Asthma Control Test or the Asthma Control Test screening tools into the primary care practice to improve management of patients with asthma by more accurately addressing asthma control. The anticipated outcomes of this project were improved identification of asthma control from the patient and/or family’s perspective in accordance with the national guidelines and optimization of asthma management based upon the level of control.Methods: The Iowa Model-Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care was used to guide this evidence-based project. An educational program was devised and presented to the providers and nursing staff of the clinic. A systematic change was implemented. The project was a pre and post implementation study comparing two different groups of patients with asthma seen at the clinic over five-week periods.Results: Prior to implementation, only 1 APRN had used a single Asthma Control Test. After the implementation of the educational program and project, 82.6% of APRNs and 30.7% of pediatric resident physicians utilized an Asthma Control Test resulting in identification of 9 (21%) patients who were considered not well-controlled. All (100%) of those children identified as not well-controlled through the Asthma Control Test received an adjustment in their medication therapy and one child was referred to pulmonary medicine for further evaluation. Conclusion: The C-ACT and ACT are simple, self-administered, validated questionnaires that can easily be incorporated into a primary care practice to assess the level of asthma control and to identify patients with asthma that is not well controlled.

▼ Prior studies have evaluated the role of inflammation on atherosclerosis. The inflammatory process observed in asthmatics plays a central role in the cascade of events that may result in cardiac events such as plaque erosion and plaque fissuring that can trigger Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The current research evaluates the association between carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, and asthma. We also evaluated the association between CIMT and use of asthma respiratory medications. ❧ Baseline data from 1248 subjects in four randomized clinical trials were used to investigate the association between CIMT and asthma and respiratory medication (anti- inflammatory non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory steroidal, bronchial dilator and leukotriene receptor antagonist) use. The primary outcome measure for all trials was CIMT. Asthmatics were identified by self-report on a baseline health questionnaire. Respiratory medication use was ascertained through collection of non-study medication use (prescription and non-prescription) that used a standard medication-coding scheme for all trials. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, with CIMT as the dependent variable and self-reported asthma and use of respiratory medications as the primary independent variables. Models were adjusted for age, gender, trial, diabetes, race, weight, systolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, smoking status, education and income when evaluating the association with asthma. Models were adjusted for age, gender, trial, diabetes, race, weight, systolic blood pressure, HDL cholesterol risk group, smoking status and education when evaluating the association with respiratory medication use. ❧ Mean CIMT did not differ between asthmatics and non-asthmatics in unadjusted (p=0.95) and adjusted (p=0.92) models. Exclusion of the subjects with pre-existing coronary artery disease at baseline (n=226) did not alter these results (p=0.81 for comparison of CIMT between asthmatics and non-asthmatics). ❧ Similar non-significant results were observed evaluating the association of respiratory medication use on CIMT (p=0.66 in adjusted models in the total sample; p=0.87 in adjusted models excluding subjects with coronary artery disease). ❧ These data provide no evidence of an association between self-reported asthma, use of respiratory medications, and CIMT measured cross-sectionally. Future data analyses in these trials should utilize the longitudinally-collected data to evaluate the association of asthma and respiratory medications with progression of atherosclerosis.

▼ This dissertation describes statistical analyses of an extended pedigree resource ascertained for asthma. The asthma pedigree resource contains 741 affected individuals in 81 pedigrees, with approximately 90 percent of the resource genotyped on 535 short tandem repeat markers dispersed throughout the genome. As a motivation for our analysis of the asthma pedigree resource, we first establish strong evidence for a heritable component to asthma using extensive population genealogical and phenotypic data from a combined resource of the Utah Population Database and the Utah death certificate registry. Subsequent analysis of the asthma pedigree resource itself consisted of various strategies designed to map the genomic locations of predisposition loci for asthma. First, we conducted a genomewide scan using a parametric linkage statistic and two general models. We interpreted the results of the scan using thresholds based on the asymptotic distribution of a related statistic and concluded that chromosomal region 5ql3 is linked to asthma under a recessive mode of inheritance. Second, recognizing that the selected thresholds used to interpret the outcomes of the first scan may be unreliable and that an empirical evaluation could be informative, we applied the latent p-value method for linkage to a genomewide scan of the resource. The latent p-value method offers fast empirical assessment, compared to conventional methods, and the flexibility to consider any linkage statistic without reference to any theoretical or asymptotic distribution. The latent p-value analysis confirmed the presence of linkage to chromosome 5ql3, albeit with a different linkage statistic than was used the in the original genomewide scan. Third, recognizing that consideration of only two general models may be insufficient to adequately model the true mode of inheritance at a linked locus, we conducted another genomewide scan using the modscore statistic, with the benefit of empirical assessment from the latent p-value method. The mod score analysis exhibited very low power to detect linkage and did not identify any new loci of interest. Taken together, our analyses indicate that there is linkage in this resource to chromosomal region 5ql3 and further expansion of this resource is warranted.

The incidence of asthma and allergies has increased in many countries. As per estimates, 25% of the population worldwide suffers from allergic disorders including asthma (Valenta et al, 1999). Among the patients suffering with respiratory allergy symptoms, 20-30% are sensitized to fungal spores (Gioulekas et al., 2004). Allergic reactions progressively transform into regular diseases defined as allergic rhinitis, asthma, rhino-conjunctivitis, urticaria and eczema. The sensitization to fungi has been reported in the range of 5-30% in India (Bisht et al., 2003). Fungi such as Alternaria, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Curvularia, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Mucor and Rhizopus have been recognized as important inhalant allergens at different places in the world. Biologic function of certain allergens from mites and fungi has been defined in previous studies (Bufe, 1998; Pomes, 2008a). However, enzyme (protease) as allergen was first reported in workers of detergent industry by Flindt (Flindt, 1969). In the last decade, few other enzymes have been reported as allergen and their mechanism of action was predicted (Pasquato et al., 2006.). Enzyme allergens explored in most of the studies are proteases, transferases, enolases, dehydrogenases and chitinases. But, they are required to be developed in bulk amount using recombinant DNA technology for in vitro and in vivo studies to elucidate their mechanism of action in the target tissue especially in airway disease. The enzyme like glutathione-S-transferase (GST) has antioxidant property but the allergenic nature restricts its use for therapeutic purpose. The variant of this enzyme may be of therapeutic value in airway inflammatory disorders. newline Oxidative stress is an important factor in the pathogenesis of asthma. Furthermore, antioxidant like GST is reduced in asthma patients. In the present study (Chapter 2), therapeutic effect of exogenous GST and mGST was evaluated in allergen induced mice model.

▼ Objective – Non-adherence to asthma medication is a common problem in patients with asthma, especially in children, leading to more frequent asthma exacerbations, ED visits and hospital admissions. Current methods of assessing adherence are unreliable. Electronic monitoring devices (EMDs) are more accurate means of assessing for adherence, but little is known about whether EMDs have a sustained effect on adherence in children. The objective of this study is to determine whether a mobile-based reminder system paired with EMD scan result in sustained improvement in adherence to asthma therapy over six months. Methods – Children (8-17 years) with physician-confirmed persistent asthma, managed through the pulmonary division of Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, treated with a compatible daily inhaled corticosteroid, and with access to a smartphone were enrolled and randomized 2:1 to the intervention (EMD) or control (standard care) groups. Participants were followed at 3 and 6-months after enrollment. The intervention consists of the BreatheSmart^™ EMD (one for controller and one for rescue inhaler) synced with a mobile application that sends reminders and captures adherence data in real time. The primary outcome was adherence assessed as proportion of days covered (PDC) based on pharmacy refill among children in the intervention group compared to control after 6 months. Secondary outcome was adherence based on EMD data. Results – 41 patients (29 in intervention, 12 in control) were enrolled. Adherence rates based on pharmacy refill at 6 months did not show any statistical significance between the intervention group compared to the control group (41% vs 31%, respectively; p=0.21). Average adherence rate at 6 months based on EMDs for the intervention group (n=26) was 27.4%. While there was an initial high rate of adherence immediately after enrollment, adherence rates dropped significantly over the span of the 6 months. Conclusion— Preliminary data suggest that adherence to controller therapy is no different among children utilizing an EMD with daily reminders when compared to a similar group of children receiving standard care. Despite an initial high rate of adherence with implementation of the intervention, such rates of adherence were not sustainable after 6 months.

▼ Thesis Abstract: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a pattern recognition receptor that plays an important role in providing immunity against various pulmonary inflammatory conditions. Having known its role in fostering lung immunity, aim of my PhD thesis was to examine the role of PTX3 in asthma. In my thesis, I showed an enhanced level of PTX3 in the airway fluid of severe asthmatics and also in the airway fluid and the lungs of allergen exposed mice. To further investigate the role of PTX3, I used a murine model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced experimental asthma and performed experiments on PTX3+/+ and PTX3-/- mice. I observed an enhanced airway inflammation and hyperactivity in OVA-exposed PTX3 Knockout (PTX3-/-) mice. In PTX3-/- mice, there was an IL-17A dominant inflammation as compared to PTX3+/+ mice upon OVA challenge. This response was accompanied with increased CD4 T cell survival and reduced IL-2 production by these cells. As Th17 phenotype of CD4 T cells is shaped by IL-6 and IL-23 producing dendritic cells, we observed increased preponderance of such DCs in the lungs and the draining lymph nodes of PTX3-/- mice as compared to their PTX3+/+ counterparts, plausibly supporting Th17/ IL-17A dominant inflammation in the former. Furthermore, there was increased infiltration of inflammatory DCs in the lungs in PTX3-/- mice upon OVA exposure. This observation was in line with increased generation of common myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow of these mice. PTX3-/- DCs showed reduced MHCII expression but increased surface expression of CD80 and CD86 along with increased ability of PTX3-/- DCs to uptake and process OVA. Since these DCs showed increase IL-6 and IL-23 production, co-culture of PTX3-/- DCs with OT II CD4 T cells resulted in greater IL-17A production as compared to those that were co-cultured with PTX3+/+ DCs. Altogether, I have observed that deletion of PTX3 resulted in enhanced IL-17 immune response plausibly through increased IL-6 and IL-23 producing DCs in OVA-exposed mice. In summary, findings of my thesis provide insights of the novel regulatory role of PTX3 in allergic inflammation, primarily in context with CD4 T cell-DC axis.

▼ Managing chronic illnesses, such as asthma, includes implementing lifestyle and behavioral changes as well as coping strategies for emotional health. Research related to family functioning and its impact on asthma indicate that adverse family functioning such as negative family climate, family routines, and parent-child interactions may exacerbate children's asthma and are related to increased morbidity. Feelings of helplessness experienced within the family may further exacerbate symptoms. Based on the theory of learned helplessness, individuals who feel there is no connection between their behaviors and outcomes are passive, anxious, depressed, and do not perform well. These feelings have a powerful influence on behavior and emotion, thus, likely impacting asthma morbidity. Only a few studies have assessed feelings of helplessness among individuals with asthma, and no studies have assessed these feelings in young children using self-report. Additionally, little is known about the relationship between feelings of helplessness and asthma morbidity among young children. The objectives of this proposal were to: (1) survey parents and children independently regarding their emotions and feelings of helplessness specific to asthma and examine associations between parent and child report, (2) examine the relationship between parent's report of helplessness and the child's asthma symptoms, and to also examine the relationship between the child's report of helplessness and his/her asthma symptoms, and (3) assess the relationship between the interaction of parent and child helplessness and asthma symptoms using a model that includes main effects and the constructed interaction term. This study found a positive relationship between the child's feelings of helplessness and symptom free days indicating less feelings of helplessness as symptom free days increased. Parents' feelings of helplessness were not related to the child's symptoms. This relationship was true only among those families reporting minimal social support and was not found among families with a lot of support which may indicate a buffering effect of social support among these families. Since stress and family environment has been shown to impact asthma symptoms for some children, this buffering effect of social support should be further explored among families of children with asthma.

Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the MasterÃ Â¢ s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2008.

Objectives: To determine the short-term effect of an inhaled, short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator on chest wall expansion (cm) and lung function parameters (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC%) in chronic moderate asthmatics. To determine the short-term effect of spinal manipulation (SMT) and ribcage mobilisation on chest wall expansion (cm) and lung function parameters (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC%) in chronic moderate asthmatics. To determine the short-term effect of a combination of SMT, ribcage mobilisation and an inhaled, short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator on chest wall expansion (cm) and lung function parameters (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC%) in chronic moderate asthmatics. Methods: Forty-five chronic moderate asthmatics who met all the inclusion criteria of the study were divided into three groups of fifteen each. Group A received a short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator, Group B received SMT and ribcage mobilisation and Group C received a combination of SMT, ribcage mobilisation and a short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator. Baseline measurements and testing included chest wall expansion and the lung function parameters FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC%. These measurements were repeated 15 minutes post-intervention. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 15.0. Results: There were no statistically significant changes between pre- and post-intervention in the short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator group with respect to any of the chest wall expansion measurements. There was a statisticallly significant increase in FEV1 between pre- and post-intervention in the short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator group (p = 0.008). There was a statistically significant increase in the mean pre- and post-intervention axillary chest wall expansion (p = 0.014) as well as the mean of the half-way measurement (p = 0.014) and the overall mean chest wall expansion value (p = 0.001) following SMT and ribcage mobilisation. There were no statistically significant changes in any of the lung function parameter values following SMT and ribcage mobilisation. There was a significant increase for the half-way measurement in chest wall expansion (p = 0.018) in the combination of SMT, ribcage mobilisation and the inhaled, short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator group. There were no statistically significant changes in any of the lung function parameter values in the combination of SMT, ribcage mobilisation and an inhaled, short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator. For FEV1, the effect in the short-acting 2-agonist bronchodilator group vs. the SMT and ribcage mobilisation group was statistically significant (p = 0.018). There was no statistical difference in any of the chest wall expansion measurements and FVC and FEV1/FVC% parameters between all three groups. Conclusions The results did not point specifically to one intervention over another for all outcomes. SMT and rib mobilisation had no effect on the lung…

D.Phil.

Asthma exemplifies a major medical concern and is a considerable cause of morbidity and mortality globally and in South Africa. Biokineticists have in the past primarily prescribed aerobic modes of exercise to asthmatics regardless of other modes of exercise that could be used in the management of asthma, each with their own unique benefits. The aim of this investigation was to develop a management model from a biokinetic perspective for the management of asthma in moderate, persistent asthmatics. The present study utilised a quantitative, comparative, research trial making use of a pre-test, eight-week intervention period and a post-test. Eighty-eight sedentary moderate, persistent asthmatics were matched by age and gender and randomly assigned to either a non-exercising control group (NE) (n = 22), an aerobic exercise group (AE) (n = 22), a diaphragmatic inspiratory resistive breathing group (DR) (n = 22) or an aerobic exercise combined with diaphragmatic resistive breathing group (CE) (n = 22). Dependent t-Tests and rank-ordered analyses revealed that five of the 13 pulmonary function parameters assessed were found to be significantly altered following the AE and CE training, with the CE training having a larger impact than AE training. The DR training resulted in improvements in four of the 13 pulmonary function parameters. The CE and AE training were also found to be equally effective at altering physical work capacity, while the DR training proved ineffective at altering physical work capacity. The CE training proved to be the most effective at improving the abdominal and chest wall excursion parameters. The DR training was found to be the least effective mode of exercise training to impact favourably on abdominal and chest wall excursion parameters. The DR and CE training had a similar significant and favourable change in respiratory muscle flexibility followed by the AE training only impacting on nine of the 11 respiratory muscle flexibility parameters. Regarding the respiratory muscle strength, despite AE and CE training altering 18 of the 20 parameters, CE training was found to be more effective. DR training only altered 16 of the 20 respiratory muscle strength parameters. The DR training was the only modality to alter a postural parameter, albeit unfavourably. Even though the DR and AE training significantly altered four of the six anthropometric parameters, the AE training proved to be superior, while CE training proved least effective as it altered v only three of the measured anthropometric parameters. The overall success of the CE training exemplified the fact that an optimal training regime for the management of asthma may require both an aerobic exercise and diaphragmatic inspiratory resistive breathing component. Exercise training, and specifically CE training is a cost-effective, home-based asthma management programme that may reduce the public health burden of this disease and provide the patient with alternative treatment options. CE training should form the cornerstone in the…

Background: Perimenstrual asthma (PMA) has been documented in 30% to 40% of asthmatic women; the　characteristics of PMA have also been well described. However, there have been few epidemiological investigations of PMA in practice. In this study, we analyzed PMA based on a questionnaire survey carried out in Japan and compared the results with those of studies reported previously. Methods: For 8 weeks from September through October 2004, a uestionnaire survey was administered to patients with bronchial asthma and their attending physicians. The questionnaire surveyed asthma control,asthma-related emergencies and satisfaction in daily life. The attending physicians were questioned about patient profiles and medications. All female patients who were menstruating during the survey period and who were known to have asthma exacerbation related to menstruation were allocated to the PMA group; those who were not were allocated to the non-PMA group. Results: The rate of PMA in female patients who were menstruating during the survey period was 11.3% in this study. Characteristic features of the PMA group (n = 54) included more severe disease, worsened disease control and more aggressive patient management, including increased oral corticosteroid use compared with the non-PMA group. The rates of emergency episodes in the PMA group were higher than in the non-PMA group. There was a significant increase in aspirin intolerant asthma (AIA, 25.5%) in the PMA group compared with the non-PMA group (8.4%). Conclusions: Attention should be paid to the lack of knowledge regarding PMA in patients with asthma in actual clinical settings. The low rate of PMA reported in this study may be due to the study method using selfreports of PMA by patients without sufficient knowledge, and may not be an accurate representation of the actual incidence of the disease. The clinical similarity of PMA to AIA in this study may also provide a new insight into the mechanism of PMA.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Severe, steroid-resistant (SSR) asthma is of considerable clinical and economic significance as affected individuals do not respond to mainstay corticosteroid therapies. Patients with SSR asthma experience more frequent exacerbations of disease, are more likely to require hospitalisation and have a poor quality of life. Improved therapies are urgently required for SSR asthma, however, progress in this area has been hampered by a lack of understanding of the pathological processes that underpin disease. The major obstacle to understanding the processes that drive SSR asthma is that there are several subsets of the disease characterised by different inflammatory and immunological phenotypes. This heterogeneity disease makes pinpointing the key processes that underpin disease extremely difficult in humans. To help understand the mechanisms that underpin SSR asthma, we have developed three unique infection-induced models of SSR asthma. As part of my thesis, I have also developed a high fat diet-induced, obesity-associated SSR asthma. Together, all four models recapitulate the key features of a number of different subsets/clusters of SSR asthma in the clinic and represent useful tools to understand subset-specific and universal factors/processes that underpin of disease and test novel therapies that target the factors/processes identified. The overarching aim of my PhD is to utilise these models to elucidate novel mechanisms that may underpin SSR asthma and to determine whether targeting these mechanisms with therapeutic interventions can suppress disease, where steroids are not effective. My PhD was divided into three major aims that have focused on discovering novel factors associated with disease and assessing the roles played by known associative factors potentially drive steroid resistance. Firstly, I conducted array analyses on whole lung tissue from our three models of infection-induced SSR asthma, that represent different inflammatory and immune subsets observed in the clinic, to identify factors that are universally dysregulated in disease. I identified 11 universally dysregulated genes, most of which have not been previously recognised in SSR asthma (chapter 2). I then showed the functional role that one of these factors may being playing in driving SSR asthma (chapter 2). Secondly, I have identified dysregulated antioxidant responses as playing a critical role in our Chlamydia-induced model of SSR asthma and show that restoration of antioxidant responses may be a beneficial adjunct therapy for steroid-resistant disease (chapter 3). Lastly, I have developed a new murine model of high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity that induces SSR allergic airways disease (AAD) (chapter 4). I used this model to identify a previously unrecognised role for HFD/obesity-induced, NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated responses in the lung the development of steroid-resistant airways hyper-responsiveness (AHR). I also show that HFD/obesity induced NLRP3 inflammasome responses in the lung may be…

▼ Background Children with asthma usually use more medical resources than those without asthma. However, studies on the relationship between ratios of asthma-related complications and consumption of medical resources are rare. Methods We sampled data from âRegistry for beneficiariesâ of âNational Health Insurance Research Databaseâ, National Health Insurance Institute, 2004. The target group was patients, aged between 1 and 18 years old, whose main diagnosis number from outpatient department (ICD-9-CM) is 493. Ratios of asthma-related complications and consumption of medical costs and resources were submitted to statistical analysis. Results Data of 394197 outpatients, of whom 62.5% are males, were included. Among the entire sample, 7627 children have asthma. Children with asthma are 8.2 times likely to get allergic rhinitis than those without asthma. Children with asthma are 2.1 times likely to get atopic dermatitis, 1.3 times likely to get otitis media, 1.5 times likely to get sinusitis than those without asthma. With regard to average expenditure on medical treatment, that of children with asthma is higher than that of children without asthma. Expenditures on medical treatment are compared among four divided groups. Children without asthma or complications ( NT 3714 Â± 24538 ) , Children without asthma having complications ( NT 6448 Â± 8880 ) , children with asthma not having complications ( NT 7396 Â± 6434 ) , children with asthma having complications ( NT 12708 Â± 10585 ) . Results of expenditures on medical treatment among these four divided groups show statistically significant. Seventy % of medical resources utilized are pediatrics, 40% are clinics, 50% are in the northern area. Conclusion Ratio of comorbidities of children with asthma is obviously higher than that of children without asthma. With regard to medical costs, that of children with asthma having comorbidities is higher than that of children with asthma not having comorbidities. Therefore, local pediatricians have an important role in the care of children with asthma. Advisors/Committee Members: Jen-Her Wu (chair), Ying-Chun Li (committee member), Lawrence Sun (chair).

Influenza infections are of major importance as they have a significant impact on the health of individuals and impart substantial socio-economic ramifications on society. Prevention and treatment of influenza infections are complicated by frequent genetic mutations of the influenza virus. Patients with underlying chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are more susceptible to influenza infection, and infection with influenza exacerbates these diseases. Therefore, elucidation of the mechanisms underpinning increased susceptibility to influenza in these patients is vital. Here, we established an experimental mouse model of COPD and utilised an existing ovalbumin-induced allergic airways disease (AAD) model to investigate the effects of influenza infection in COPD and asthma, respectively. Influenza infection in experimental COPD resulted in increased viral titre, exaggerated airway inflammation and further impaired lung function. These effects were accompanied by decreased neutrophil influx into the airways, reduced antiviral interferon responses, and the suppression of a range of cytokines and chemokines, including interferon (IFN)-γ, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IFN-γ-induced protein (IP)-10, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC, or IL-8 in humans) and interleukin (IL)-10, as well as increased IL-6. This increased susceptibility was mediated by an increase in phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) protein expression. The inhibition of PI3K effectively reduced viral titre, enhanced antiviral IFNs and improved lung function. Influenza infection in recombinant IL-13-treated or ovalbumin (Ova)-induced AAD models led to increased viral titre, impaired antiviral responses and increased airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). It also resulted in exaggerated airway inflammation, more severe histopathology, increased mucus secreting cell numbers and increased IL-13. Importantly, we also showed that inhibition of IL-13 by administration of anti-IL-13 (αIL-13) monoclonal antibody during influenza infection reduced viral titre, AHR, eosinophil infiltration and MSCs, which were associated with improved antiviral IFN responses. In summary, these data highlight the important roles of PI3K and IL-13 in the increased susceptibility to influenza infection in experimental models of COPD and asthma, respectively. Such findings offer evidence for new and promising avenues for influenza disease management in these chronic lung diseases. In fact, both PI3K inhibitors and anti-IL-13 antibodies have already entered clinical trials and may be utilised as novel therapeutic approaches for influenza infections in the future.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Asthma is public health problem, affecting adults and children of all ages globally. As there is no cure for asthma, optimum management of the condition is essential through appropriate pharmacotherapy and modification of environmental and lifestyle risk factors. Dietary intake and weight gain are important environmental exposures that may contribute to pathogenesis and progression of asthma, given the proposed association of asthma and obesity and evidence that some dietary nutrients affect asthma outcomes beneficially or adversely. Furthermore it is unknown whether asthma treatment medication, such as oral or inhaled corticosteroids impact upon dietary intake or cause weight gain and whether biological markers such as leptin are important in this association. Further investigation into these risk factors is required to improve asthma management. The current thesis aims to describe the dietary intake of adults with asthma; to investigate the association of dietary nutrient intake with corticosteroids and asthma outcomes; and to examine whether oral corticosteroids affect appetite, dietary intake, body weight and body composition in adults with asthma. Chapter 2 presents the current evidence for the effect of oral corticosteroids on appetite, dietary intake, body weight and body composition. In this systematic literature review we found it was unlikely that oral corticosteroids have a significant effect on dietary intake, appetite or body weight and composition when used to treat inflammatory conditions or in healthy subjects. There is limited objective evidence for the association of oral corticosteroids and these adverse effects, particularly with respect to short term oral corticosteroid therapy in inflammatory conditions, including asthma. In Chapter 3 the dietary intake of adults with asthma was examined; compared to healthy subjects; and evaluated for associations with biological markers and asthma outcomes. Subjects with severe asthma were found to have a different dietary intake to healthy subjects, with an increased intake of fat and sodium and decreased intake of fibre and potassium. In all subjects with asthma increased fat and decreased fibre intake were associated with greater airway inflammation and poorer lung function. This finding suggests that these nutrients may be important to address in nutritional counselling of adults with asthma. There was no relationship between dietary intake and inhaled or oral corticosteroids. Serum leptin was increased in subjects with asthma compared to healthy controls, and while it was not directly related to dietary intake, it was associated with inhaled corticosteroid use in males. This finding is an indication that leptin may be important to investigate further in the relationship between appetite and corticosteroid use in asthma. Chapter 4 explored the effects of a short term oral corticosteroid intervention on appetite, dietary intake, leptin, body weight and body composition in adults with asthma. This 10 day,…

▼ Background: Asthma control is currently suboptimal for many individuals with asthma. A number of systematic reviews show that interventions are effective for improving asthma self-care in adults. However, the processes underpinning successful interventions remain unclear. A qualitative process evaluation of a small scale intervention targeting asthma self-care (the Managing Illness by Empowerment of Self-care and Harmonisation of Patient and Practitioner agenda) MESH intervention) was undertaken as part of my PhD. The analysis revealed three intra-patient processes (illness understanding, affective response to asthma and motivation) and two consultation processes (active patient involvement and individual tailoring) that were associated with change in self-reported asthma self-care behaviour. However, intervention deliverers (nurses) did not always deliver the intervention as intended. Aim: To explore nurses’ experiences of delivering the MESH intervention and, in particular, to identify challenges associated with their ability to deliver it as intended. Design: In-depth qualitative interviews and transcripts of consultations between nurses and patients were analysed using thematic analysis. Participants: Nine nurses with experience in the delivery of asthma care. Setting: Primary care practices in the South West of England. Results: The themes arising from the analysis were (i) experiences of training (ii) perceived usefulness of techniques and approaches (iii) patient motivation and (iv) implementing the MESH in clinical practice Conclusion: This research has identified specific issues relating to nurses’ understanding, motivations and abilities to deliver the MESH intervention. This has important implications for both future health psychology research and clinical practice. With regard to the future development of randomised trials of the MESH intervention, the process of nurse recruitment and training could be adjusted in light of these findings. This will prevent unnecessarily wasting resources and patients’ time, and increase the likely take up and effectiveness of the intervention. Further research is needed to develop theory underpinning nurses’ use of research in clinical practice.
