1. Responsividade do tecido pulmonar periférico de pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica / Hyperresponsiveness of peripheral lung parenchyma in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Mais de 60% dos pacientes com Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) podem apresentar hiper-responsividade brônquica. Entretanto, não se sabe se, além das vias aéreas, o tecido pulmonar periférico também apresenta uma resposta exagerada a um agonista na DPOC. No presente estudo foi investigado o comportamento mecânico in vitro e as alterações e

2. Análise em tempo real da impedância do sistema respiratório e da mobilidade toracoabdominal em portadores de DPOC com obstrução brônquica acentuada / Real-time analysis of respiratory system impedance and thoracoabdominal mobility of COPD patients with severe bronchial obstruction
Introduction: COPD is carachterized by airflow limitation associated abnormal inflammatory response of the lung to noxious particles or gases. The mechanical alterations associated with COPD have been related with dysfunction of the diaphragm, observed since the initial phases of the disease. Several studies have confirmed the high potential of FOT in the as

3. Effects of the exposure to cigarette smoke and residual oil fly ash (ROFA) in lungs of C57/Bl6 mice / Efeito da exposição à fumaça de cigarro e ao resíduo de óleo diesel (ROFA) em pulmões de camundongos C57/BI6
Many of the mechanisms leading to CPOD (Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease) are not completely understood. In the present study, we exposed C57/Bl6 mice, for two months, to cigarette smoke and/or ROFA (Residual Oil Fly Ash). Animals exposed to cigarette smoke had an increased in proximal airways resistance, probably due to the thickening of airways walls
