Electronic cigarettes: Investigating the harms and benefits
Guest Editor: Robert Bals (Saarland University, Germany)Lipoxin A4 ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury through stimulating epithelial proliferation, reducing epithelial cell apoptosis and inhibits epithelial–mesenchymal transition
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by alveolar epithelial disruption. Lipoxins (LXs), as so-called “braking signals” of inflammation, are the first mediators identified to have dual an...Respiratory Research 2019 20:192Lipoxin A4 receptor agonist BML-111 induces autophagy in alveolar macrophages and protects from acute lung injury by activating MAPK signaling
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening lung disease where alveolar macrophages (AMs) play a central role both in the early phase to initiate inflammatory responses and in the late phase to promote tissu...RESPIRATORY RESEARCH 2018 19:243Altered lung biology of healthy never smokers following acute inhalation of E-cigarettes
Little is known about health risks associated with electronic cigarette (EC) use although EC are rising in popularity and have been advocated as a means to quit smoking cigarettes.Respiratory Research 2018 19:78Metabolic reprogramming of the urea cycle pathway in experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension rats induced by monocrotaline
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare systemic disorder associated with considerable metabolic dysfunction. Although enormous metabolomic studies on PAH have been emerging, research remains lacking o...Respiratory Research 2018 19:94Electronic cigarette vapor alters the lateral structure but not tensiometric properties of calf lung surfactant
Despite their growing popularity, the potential respiratory toxicity of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) remains largely unknown. One potential aspect of e-cigarette toxicity is the effect of e-cigarette v...Respiratory Research 2017 18:193Evidence for harm reduction in COPD smokers who switch to electronic cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are battery-operated devices designed to vaporise nicotine, which may help smokers quitting or reducing their tobacco consumption. There is a lack of data on the health effects of E...Respiratory Research 2016 17:166Basic science of electronic cigarettes: assessment in cell culture and in vivo models
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes, ECIGs) were introduced into the market a decade ago as an alternative to tobacco smoking. Whether ECIGs are safe and whether they qualify as smoking cessation tool is curre...Respiratory Research 2016 17:127Knowledge about electronic cigarettes and its perception: a community survey, Egypt
Electronic cigarettes are promoted as safer products than traditional cigarettes and as smoking cessation devices. Awareness and perception are key elements for the adoption of new habits. Little is known abou...Respiratory Research 2016 17:58Airway epithelial cell exposure to distinct e-cigarette liquid flavorings reveals toxicity thresholds and activation of CFTR by the chocolate flavoring 2,5-dimethypyrazine
The potential for adverse respiratory effects following exposure to electronic (e-) cigarette liquid (e-liquid) flavorings remains largely unexplored. Given the multitude of flavor permutations on the market, ...Respiratory Research 2016 17:57Electronic cigarette exposure triggers neutrophil inflammatory responses
The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) is increasing and there is widespread perception that e-cigs are safe. E-cigs contain harmful chemicals; more research is needed to evaluate the safety of e-cig use. O...Respiratory Research 2016 17:56Electronic cigarettes: a survey of perceived patient use and attitudes among members of the British thoracic oncology group
Smoking cessation following lung cancer diagnosis has been found to improve several patient outcomes. Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is now prevalent within Great Britain, however, use and practice amo...Respiratory Research 2016 17:55Occupational and environmental risk factors for chronic rhinosinusitis in China: a multicentre cross-sectional study
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is defined as a condition of inflammation in the paranasal sinus mucosa persisting for more than 12 weeks. We previously reported that the prevalence of CRS was about 8 % in China....Respiratory Research 2016 17:54Ethical considerations of e-cigarette use for tobacco harm reduction
Due to their similarity to tobacco cigarettes, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) could play an important role in tobacco harm reduction. However, the public health community remains divided concerning the a...Respiratory Research 2016 17:53- Respiratory Research 2016 17:52
