Abstract
Objective To investigate whether different genotypes of p.Arg16Gly, p.Gln27Glu, p.Arg19Cys and p.Thr164Ile variants interfere in response to treatment in children and adolescents with moderate to severe acute asthma. Methods This sample comprised patients aged 2 to 17 years with a history of at least two wheezing episodes and current moderate to severe asthma exacerbation. All patients received multiple doses of albuterol and ipratropium bromide delivered via pressurized metered-dose inhaler with holding chamber and systemic corticosteroids. Hospital admission was defined as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were changes in forced expiratory volume in the first second after 1 hour of treatment, and for outpatients, length of stay in the emergency room. Variants were genotyped by sequencing. Results A total of 60 patients were evaluated. Hospital admission rates were significantly higher in carriers of the genotype AA relative to those with genotype AG or GG, within the p.Arg16Gly variant (p=0.03, test χ2, alpha=0.05). Secondary outcomes did not differ between genotypes. Conclusion Hospital admission rates were significantly higher among carriers of the genotype AA within the p.Arg16Gly variant.

Abstract
Aerosol delivery is a vital therapeutic strategy for both adult and pediatric patients presenting to the emergency department with respiratory distress. Aerosolized bronchodilators are frequently used as rescue medications for patients with diagnoses of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or pneumonia. Historically, emergency department providers utilized jet nebulizers (JNs) for medication delivery, but were challenged by a need for increasingly higher bronchodilator doses to elicit the desired response. Advancements in technology have led to the development of newer specialized aerosol delivery devices and treatment strategies which provide clinicians with improved options for aerosol delivery but may also cause some uncertainty regarding appropriate device selection. Initial investigations comparing these devices presented valuable evidence of in vitro benefit but were unable to demonstrate corresponding improvement in clinical results. More recently there has been an influx of clinical evidence that suggests improved clinical outcomes associated with more efficient aerosol delivery devices such as vibrating mesh nebulizers (VMN) compared to the standard JN device. VMN will likely become an increasingly important tool in emergency department treatment of patients with respiratory distress. Additional controlled studies are needed both to examine the effects of VMN on patient outcomes, as well as to analyze how performance differences between aerosol devices may affect dosing strategies. Future efforts should also focus on applying new evidence in the form of updated consensus guidelines and standardized treatment strategies.

Abstract
AIM Paediatric asthma hospitalisation has decreased in Finland, but has remained stable in Sweden. The reasons for these intercountry differences are unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the trend of dispensed asthma medication, including inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), among paediatric populations in the two countries. METHODS We explored trends in dispensed asthma medication among paediatric populations aged 0-19 in Finland and Sweden from 2006 to 2017. The Finnish Statistics on Reimbursements for Prescription Medicines and The Swedish Prescribed Drug Register provided data on all dispensed asthma prescriptions. RESULTS During the study period, the prevalence of dispensed ICS in paediatric populations was fairly stable in Finland and Sweden. Among children aged 0-4, ICS were 1.5 times more commonly dispensed in Sweden than in Finland. The prevalence of children dispensed short-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonists (SABA) increased in both countries, but rose more in Finland (51%) than in Sweden (27%). CONCLUSION Inhaled corticosteroids were more commonly dispensed for children aged 0-4 in Sweden than in Finland during the study period. This study showed an increasing prevalence of children dispensed SABA in Finland and Sweden, particularly in Finland. Differences and trends in asthma medication may effect asthma hospitalisation and asthma deaths.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Asthma pathways have been shown to improve resource use and decrease length of stay (LOS). A tertiary care hospital implemented an asthma pathway in May 2015 to standardize inpatient care. We predicted that the pathway would increase the use of albuterol metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) and steroids; decrease use of albuterol nebulizer, antibiotics, chest radiograph (CXR), and respiratory viral panel (RVP); and decrease LOS. METHODS This retrospective cohort study selected patients between the ages of 2 and 18 years who were admitted for asthma as a primary diagnosis between May 2014 and May 2016 (1 year preimplementation to 1 year postimplementation). Patients' complex chronic conditions were excluded. We analyzed use of albuterol nebulizer, MDI, and continuous nebulization, ipratropium bromide, oral steroids, antibiotics, inhaled steroids, CXR, and RVP. We also evaluated LOS and readmission rate. RESULTS There were 1131 and 925 patients identified before and after asthma pathway implementation, respectively. The percent that received albuterol nebulizer decreased from 14.1% to 6.1% (p < 0.001). The percent that received albuterol MDI increased from 97.0% to 99.4% (p < 0.001). The average number of MDI administrations decreased from 11.6 to 10.4 (p = 0.004). Continuous albuterol use increased from 52.3% to 59.1% (p = 0.002). There was no change in ipratropium bromide, oral steroid, inhaled steroid, or CXR use. Antibiotic (p = 0.049) and RVP (p = 0.03) use decreased. The average LOS decreased from 1.84 days to 1.71 days (p = 0.02). Readmission rates did not change significantly. CONCLUSIONS The asthma pathway improved inpatient albuterol MDI use. The LOS decreased while maintaining readmission rates.

Abstract
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airway, and it is characterized by a wheezing breathing sound, variable airflow obstruction and the presence of inflammatory cells in the submucosa of the bronchi. Viral infection, pollutants and sensitivity to aeroallergens damage the epithelium from childhood, which causes asthma. The pathogenesis of asthma includes pathways of innate stimulation by environmental microbes and irritant pathogens. Damaged epithelial cells produce thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and stimulate myeloid dendritic cell maturation through the thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor (TSLPR) heterocomplex. TSLP-activated myeloid dendritic cells promote naive CD4+ T cells to differentiate into T helper type 2 (Th2) phenotype CD4+ T cells. Re-exposure to allergens or environmental stimuli causes an adaptive immune response. TSLP-activated dendritic cells expressing the OX40 ligand (OX40L; CD252) trigger naive CD4+ T cells to differentiate into inflammatory Th2 effector cells secreting the cytokines interleukin-4, 5, 9, and 13 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13), and the dendritic cells (DCs) promote the proliferation of allergen-specific Th2 memory cells. Allergen presentation by Th2 cells through its interaction with their receptors in the presence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II on B cells and through costimulation involving CD40 and CD40L interactions results in immunoglobulin class switching from IgM to IgE. DCs and other blood cell subsets express the TSLPR heterocomplex. The regulatory mechanism of the TSLPR heterocomplex on these different cell subsets remains unclear. The TSLPR heterocomplex is composed of the IL-7Rα chain and TSLPR chain. Moreover, two isoforms of TSLP, short isoform TSLP (sfTSLP) and long isoform TSLP (lfTSLP), have roles in atopic and allergic development. Identifying and clarifying the regulation of TSLPR and IL-7Rα in pediatric asthma are still difficult, because the type of blood cell and the expression for each blood cell in different stages of atopic diseases are poorly understood. We believe that further integrated assessments of the regulation mechanism of the TSLP–TSLPR heterocomplex axis in vitro and in vivo can provide a faster and earlier diagnosis of pediatric asthma and promote the development of more effective preventive strategies at the onset of allergies.

Abstract
Albumin-based nanoparticles (NPs) are a promising technology for developing drug-carrier systems, with improved deposition and retention profiles in lungs. Improved understanding of these drug–carrier interactions could lead to better drug-delivery systems. The present study combines computational and experimental methods to gain insights into the mechanism of binding of albuterol sulfate (AS) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the molecular level. Molecular dynamics simulation and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy were used to determine that there are two binding sites on BSA for AS: the first of which is a high-affinity site corresponding to AS1 and the second of which appears to represent the integrated functions of several low-affinity sites corresponding to AS2, AS3, and AS8. AS1 was the strongest binding site, established via electrostatic interaction with Glu243 and Asp255 residues in a hydrophobic pocket. Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges played a main role in the critical binding of AS1 to BSA, and water bridges served a supporting role. Based upon the interaction mechanism, BSA NPs loaded with AS were prepared, and their drug-loading efficiency, morphology, and -release profiles were evaluated. Successful clinical development of AS-BSA-NPs may improve therapy and prevention of bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease, and thus provide a solid basis for expanding the role of NPs in the design of new drug-delivery systems.
