TIOTROPIUM AND FLUTICASONE INHIBIT RHINOVIRUS-INDUCED MUCIN PRODUCTION VIA MULTIPLE MECHANISMS IN DIFFERENTIATED AIRWAY EPITHELIAL CELLS

Tiotropium and Fluticasone Inhibit Rhinovirus-Induced Mucin Production via Multiple Mechanisms in Differentiated Airway Epithelial Cells

Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are associated with acute exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, which are accompanied by mucus hypersecretion.Whereas, various studies have shown that HRVs increase epithelial mucin production and thus may directly contribute to mucus hypersecretion.The effects of drugs use

Effects of nutrient supply on leaf stoichiometry and relative growth rate of three stoloniferous alien plants

Different nutrient supply brings about changes in leaf stoichiometry, which may affect growth rate and primary production of plants.Invasion of alien plants is a severe threat to biodiversity and ecosystem worldwide.A pot experiment was conducted by using three stoloniferous alien plants Wedelia trilobata, Alternanther philoxeroides and Hydrocotyle
