    Abstract Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a key clinical feature of asthma. The presence of AHR in people with asthma provides the substrate for bronchoconstriction in response to numerous diverse stimuli, contributing to airflow limitation and symptoms including breathlessness, wheeze and chest tightness. Dysfunctional airway smooth muscle (ASM) significantly contributes to AHR and is displayed as increased sensitivity to direct pharmacological bronchoconstrictor stimuli, such as inhaled histamine and methacholine (direct AHR), or to endogenous mediators released by activated airway cells such as mast cells (indirect AHR). Research in in vivo human models has shown that the disrupted airway epithelium plays an important role in driving inflammation that mediates indirect AHR in asthma, through the release of cytokines such as TSLP and IL-33. These cytokines upregulate type 2 cytokines promoting airway eosinophilia and induce the release of bronchoconstrictor mediators from mast cells such as histamine, prostaglandin D

    Abstract Prostaglandin (PG) E2 is a recognized inhibitor of granulocyte functions. However, most of the data supporting this was obtained when available pharmacological tools mainly targeted the EP2 receptor. Herein, we revisited the inhibitory effect of PGE2 on reactive oxygen species production, leukotriene biosynthesis and migration in human neutrophils. Our data confirm the inhibitory effect of PGE2 on these functions and unravel that the effect of PGE2 on human neutrophils is obtained by the combined action of EP2 and EP4 agonism. Accordingly, we also demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of PGE2 is fully prevented only by the combination of EP2 and EP4 receptor antagonists, underscoring the importance of targeting both receptors in the effect of PGE2. Conversely, we also show that the inhibition of reactive oxygen species production by human eosinophils only involves the EP4 receptor, despite the fact that they also express the EP2 receptor.

    Abstract Introduction: Monoclonal antibodies targeting interleukin 5 (IL5) or its receptor (IL5R) are frequently used in severe asthma, in which they reduce exacerbations rate and oral corticosteroids (OCS) exposure. Anti-IL5/IL5Rs have been studied in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) without convincing benefits. However, these therapies have been used in clinical practice in COPD with apparently good results.
    Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics and therapeutic response of COPD patients treated with anti-IL5/IL5R in a real-world setting.
    Patients and methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients followed at the Quebec Heart and Lung Institute COPD clinic. Men or women, with an established diagnosis of COPD, and treated either with Mepolizumab or Benralizumab were included. Demographics, disease and exacerbation-related data, airway comorbidities, lung function, and inflammatory profile were extracted from patients' hospital files at baseline visit and 12 months post-treatment. Therapeutic response to biologics was assessed by measuring change in annual exacerbation rate and/or OCS daily dose.
    Results: Seven COPD patients treated with biologics were identified (5M:2F). All were found to be OCSdependent at baseline. Radiological evidence of emphysema was found in all patients. One case was diagnosed with asthma before age 40. Residual eosinophilic inflammation was found in 5/6 patients (blood eosinophils count 237 ± 225×10
    Conclusion: Chronic OCS use is a common characteristic of patients treated with anti-IL5/IL5R biological therapies in this real-world setting. In this population, it may be effective in decreasing OCS exposure and exacerbation.

    Abstract Background: Levels of medical intervention (LMI) are legal documents in which physicians record patient preferences, or those of their designated substitute decision-makers, concerning end-of-life care. Studies suggest that, although LMI are intended to orient clinical practice, their function tends to be limited to logistical aspects of care. How LMI shapes or guides patient-centred, end-of-life care remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine possible associations between LMI and certain aspects of end-of-life care practices in LTCC, such as nurse-documented patient experiences of pain, and prescription and administration of medication.
    Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of 100 files retrieved from a clinical database of deceased patients in LTCCs located in an urban integrated health and social service organization in Québec, Canada, was conducted.
    Results: Significant associations between last documented LMI and frequency of narcotic prescription and administration, at either regular intervals or PRN, are highlighted. The time delay between last LMI assessment and patient death was one week or less for 39.4% of cases.
    Conclusion: These results suggest that LMI assessment practices may not correspond to their intended use. A short time frame between last LMI (L-LMI) assessment and patient death may suggest less-than-optimal patient comfort in end-of-life care.

    Abstract Aim: To summarise lung function characteristics of athletic swimmers and discuss mechanisms explaining these changes while putting forward the lack of a clear understanding of the precise physiological factors implicated.
    Methods: Literature search until 07.2021 on Medline and EMBASE using keywords swimming, athletes, respiratory physiology, lung development, lung function tests. Relevant articles in French and English were reviewed.
    Results: We found insufficient data to perform a meta-analysis. However, there is evidence that swimmers have better expiratory flows and increased baseline lung volumes than non-athletes or non-swimmers. Although these features can result from changes in lung development following intense training over the years, the contribution of a genetic predisposition and positive selection cannot be totally excluded.
    Conclusion: Disentangling the participation of constitutional factors and years of hard training to explain the larger lung volumes of athletic swimmers is in favour of an adaptative response of the lungs to early swim training through modification of the pathway of lung development. There seems to be an optimal window of opportunity before the end of growth for these adaptational changes to occur. Precise mechanisms, and contribution of adaptative change on lung physiology, remain to be further studied.

    Abstract Pemetrexed, frequently used for the treatment of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, may cause cutaneous reactions that can be reduced with three oral doses of dexamethasone starting the day before treatment, and continuing after chemotherapy for a number of doses which varies according to the emetogenic potential of the protocol. Dexamethasone may induce side effects and no guideline suggests the conduct to favor when dexamethasone doses are omitted before treatment with pemetrexed. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of a simplified regimen of dexamethasone administered before a pemetrexed-based chemotherapy in preventing cutaneous toxicities. A prospective study was conducted with patients starting a pemetrexed-based treatment between February 2016 and August 2017 at the ambulatory oncology clinic of an academic hospital. Patients were divided into two groups, one receiving the usual oral premedication and the other receiving a 20-mg intravenous dose of dexamethasone prior to chemotherapy. Among the 70 patients included, 39 received the alternative regimen prior to a total of 114 chemotherapy cycles, while the other 31 patients received the usual premedication before a total of 154 cycles. The cutaneous toxicity incidence was of 10 events in the simplified treatment group compared to 9 events in the standard group (

    Abstract Background: Allergic rhinitis is a risk factor for asthma development. In asthma, fibroblast progenitors, fibrocytes, are increased in the blood and bronchial mucosa following allergen exposure. These cells may play a role in lower airways remodeling as observed in non-asthmatic subjects with allergic rhinitis.
    Objective: To determine the influence of seasonal allergen exposure on blood circulating fibrocytes in allergic rhinitic subjects without asthma.
    Methods: Non-asthmatic subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis had blood sampling at baseline and at the peak of rhinitis symptoms. Cells were stained for fibrocyte markers (CD34, CD45, CXCR4, collagen I) and analyzed by flow cytometry.
    Results: Data from 26 subjects (11M:15F) aged 29 ± 8 years were analysed. Compared to baseline, there was a significant decrease in blood fibrocytes during the pollen season in subjects sensitized to trees [median (25-75 percentile), 9.3 (6.4-20.7)% vs 7.0 (4.2-10.1)%, P = 0.007] and a significant increase in subjects sensitized to grass [12.7 (9.9-23.1)% vs 64.0 (57.6-73.6)%, P < 0.001] and ragweed [8.0 (7.4-10.8)% vs 48.2 (43.5-52.6)%, P < 0.001]. A significant decrease in CXCR4 mean fluorescence was also observed between the two visits [1814 (1261-2235) vs 1352 (814-1796) (arbitrary units), P = 0.02].
    Conclusions and clinical relevance: These results contribute to document dynamic variations in blood fibrocytes' activation and migration into the airways following natural exposure to allergens. These findings may help identify one of the potential factors involved in the development of asthma in allergic rhinitic subjects.
