Similar cellular composition of induced sputum in Marathon and Half-Marathon runners

2013

In our previous studies, we reported increased neutrophil (PMN) differential counts in induced sputum of marathon (M) runners (Bonsignore et al, 2001). Conversely, increased bronchial epithelial cell (BEC) differential counts were found in half-marathon (HM) runners (Chimenti et al, 2010). To better understand the differences previously found between M and HM runners, we studied 11 non-asthmatic amateur athletes (HM n=6, M n=5, age: 44.5±6.7 yrs, race time: HM 101±18 min, M 218±35 min) participating to the 2012 Palermo Marathon. We collected induced sputum samples 4 to 5 days before the race (PRE), 2 hours after the race (RACE), and the following morning (POST). Induced sputum was processed…

Airway inflammation in patients affected by obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

2004

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been shown to be associated to upper airway inflammation. The object of the present study was to establish the presence of bronchial inflammation in OSAS subjects. In 16 subjects affected by OSAS, and in 14 healthy volunteers, airway inflammation was detected by the cellular analysis of the induced sputum. OSAS patients, as compared to control subjects, showed a higher percentage of neutrophils (66.7+/-18.9 vs. 25.8+/-15.6) (P<0.001) and a lower percentage of macrophages (29.4+/-18.4 vs. 70.8+/-15.3) (P<0.001). The percentage of eosinophils and lymphocytes were not significantly different in the two groups. OSAS subjects show bronchial inflammatio…

Bronchial epithelial damage after a half-marathon in nonasthmatic amateur runners.

2010

Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2010 Jun;298(6):L857-62. Epub 2010 Apr 2. Bronchial epithelial damage after a half-marathon in nonasthmatic amateur runners. Chimenti L, Morici G, Paternò A, Santagata R, Bonanno A, Profita M, Riccobono L, Bellia V, Bonsignore MR. SourceDept. Biomedico Di Medicina Interna & Specialistica, Section of Pneumology, Univ. of Palermo, Via Trabucco 180, 90146 Palermo, Italy. laurachimenti@yahoo.it Abstract High neutrophil counts in induced sputum have been found in nonasthmatic amateur runners at rest and after a marathon, but the pathogenesis of airway neutrophilia in athletes is still poorly understood. Bronchial epithelial damage may occur during intense exer…
