Bronchoalveolar Neutrophilia during Late Asthmatic Reactions Induced by Toluene Diisocyanate
Leonardo M. Fabbri,Piera Boschetto,E. Zocca,Gianfranco Milani,Fausto Pivirotto,Mario Plebani,Angelo Burlina,Baldassare Licata,Cristina E. Mapp +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that late asthmatic reactions to TDI, and the associated increase in airway responsiveness, may be caused by airway inflammation.

Prednisone inhibits late asthmatic reactions and the associated increase in airway responsiveness induced by toluene-diisocyanate in sensitized subjects.
Leonardo M. Fabbri,P. Chiesura-Corona,L. Dal Vecchio,G. R. Di Giacomo,E. Zocca,N. De Marzo,Piero Maestrelli,Cristina E. Mapp +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that late asthmatic reactions and the associated increase in airway responsiveness induced by TDI in "sensitized" subjects may depend on the development of a steroid-responsive acute inflammatory reaction within the airways.

Pathogenesis of late asthmatic reactions induced by exposure to isocyanates.
Cristina E. Mapp,Piera Boschetto,E. Zocca,G. Milani,F. Pivirotto,V. Tegazzin,Leonardo M. Fabbri +6 more
TL;DR: The results of these studies suggest that bronchial hyperresponsiveness and exacerbation of asthma may be related to inflammation of the airways and that cell membrane phospholipid metabolites may be involved.

Venous blood platelets decrease during allergen-induced asthmatic reactions.
Piero Maestrelli,Piera Boschetto,E. Zocca,S. Crescioli,P. Baroldi,Cristina E. Mapp,Leonardo M. Fabbri +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that platelets may be involved in the pathogenesis of allergen‐induced asthmatic reactions, and are associated with bronchoconstriction induced by methacholine.

Prednisone, indomethacin and airway responsiveness in toluene diisocyanate sensitized subjects.
Leonardo M. Fabbri,R. Di Giacomo,L. Dal Vecchio,E. Zocca,N. De Marzo,Piero Maestrelli,Cristina E. Mapp +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that release of prostaglandins does not contribute to late asthmatic reactions and the associated increase in airway responsiveness induced by TDI, and inflammatory mediators inhibited by prednisone but not by indomethacin may be involved.
