Abstract
Lodgment of foreign bodies in the aero-digestive tract commonly occurs in the infant and children (Hazra et al, Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1993;2:216). Children especially between 1 and 3 years appear to be more vulnerable (Aylec et al, J Thoracic Cardiovascular Surg 1977;74:145). Ninety percent of these foreign bodies are accidental in nature and are due to carelessness and are avoidable (Holinger and Holinger. Chest 1978;73:721). Lodgment of foreign body has been usually seen to occur in mentally retarded intoxicated, or edentulous adult and to some other persons like fishermen. electrician, and decoration worker who use to hold those materials in between their teeth during their work. Usually, the victims present with respiratory distress. hoarseness of voice and/or dysphagia, which are proceeded by a severe history of choking cough immediately after ingestion of foreign bodies. Heroic attempts of removal of the foreign bodies may be dangerous to life. Therefore, each case should be dealt with proper care and precautionary measures. Here we present a case of an impacted meat bone in the larynx with the only complaint of hoarseness of voice for 2 weeks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrapulmonary administration of IL-12 has been shown to inhibit the number of eosinophils in lung murine models of asthma, but the precise mechanism of this inhibition has not been reported. The purpose of this study was to examine whether IL-12 treatment inhibits bone marrow eosinophilopoiesis, and to elucidate the role of IFN-gamma in this process. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the in vivo and in vitro effects of IL-12 on eosinophil differentiation from murine bone marrow (BM) stem cells, and to examine the mechanistic role of IFN-gamma in this process. METHODS Allergen-sensitized BALB/c mice were administered low doses of intranasal IL-12 at the time of allergen challenge, and the number of eosinophils in BM was determined 3 days later. The direct actions of IL-12 on eosinophil differentiation from BM cells were determined in vitro. The mechanistic role of IFN-gamma was assessed by measuring IFN-gamma induction by IL-12 in BM cell cultures, and through the use of IFN-gamma KO mice. RESULTS Treatment of allergic mice with intrapulmonary IL-12 (1 ng or 10 ng) reduced eosinophils in BM by 43%. Culture of BM cells from allergen-sensitized mice with IL-3 + IL-5 induced eosinophil differentiation in vitro. Addition of IL-12 to these cultures inhibited eosinophil differentiation, with maximal inhibition (45%) occurring at 10 ng/mL IL-12 concentration. IL-12 induced IFN-gamma production from BM cultures, and failed to inhibit eosinophil differentiation in IFN-gamma-knockout mice, indicating a critical mechanistic role for IFN-gamma. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that IL-12 selectively inhibits BM eosinophilopoiesis, and that this effect is mediated by IFN-gamma. Intrapulmonary IL-12 has suppressive effects on BM eosinophilopoiesis that may represent a novel mechanism contributing to the anti-eosinophilic effects of IL-12 in allergic airway disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with quiescent asthma, macrophages are the most prevalent cells recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Through activation via their FcepsilonRII receptors or by acting as antigen-presenting cells, macrophages could, in theory, promote the late airway response to allergen. OBJECTIVE In order to investigate the importance of macrophages and other airway luminal cells in inducing the late airway response, a novel washout experiment was designed. METHODS Five patients with ragweed-allergic asthma underwent bronchoscopy and segmental bronchial challenge with either normal saline or short ragweed extract in two segments of one lung. In a third segment of the opposite lung, 12 successive BALs (25 mL each) were performed, followed by challenge with an identical dose of short ragweed (washed-challenged segment). After 24 h, all three challenged segments underwent BAL. RESULTS Initially, in the washed-challenged segment, over 80% (mean 80.4%, range 68-88%) of the recoverable airway dwelling cells were removed. Unexpectedly, 24 h later these same washed-challenged segments contained more eosinophils in the BAL than the challenged segments from the opposite lung (P = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS Removing the majority of airway luminal cells followed by allergen bronchoprovocation increased the number of eosinophils recovered 24 h after challenge. Our results suggest that in quiescent allergic asthma, the airway luminal cells are protective and attenuate the late eosinophilic response to allergen challenge.

Abstract
Intratracheal administration of interleukin-10 (IL-10) has been reported to inhibit allergic inflammation but augment airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). In the present study, airway and smooth muscle responsiveness to methacholine (MCh) were compared in wild-type (WT) and IL-10-deficient (IL-10-KO) mice to investigate the role of endogenous IL-10 in AHR development. Naive WT and IL-10-KO mice exhibited similar dose-dependent increases in airway resistance (Raw) to intravenous MCh. Sensitization and challenge with ragweed (RW) induced a twofold increase in responsiveness to intravenous MCh in WT mice, but hyperresponsiveness was not observed in similarly treated IL-10-KO mice. Likewise, tracheal rings from RW-sensitized and -challenged WT mice exhibited a fourfold greater responsiveness to MCh than IL-10-KO tracheal preparations. Measurements of airway constriction by whole body plethysmography further supported the Raw and tracheal ring data (i.e., AHR was not observed in the absence of IL-10). Interestingly, factors previously implicated in the development of AHR, including IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IgA, IgG1, IgE, eosinophilia, and lymphocyte recruitment to the airways, were upregulated in the IL-10-KO mice. Treatment with recombinant murine IL-10 at the time of allergen challenge reduced the magnitude of inflammation but reinstated AHR development in IL-10-KO mice. Adoptive transfer of mononuclear splenocytes to IL-10-sufficient severe combined immunodeficient mice indicated that lymphocytes were an important source of the IL-10 impacting AHR development. These results provide evidence that IL-10 expression promotes the development of allergen-induced smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness.
