}We investigated the physicochemical and transport properties of sputum samples collected in physiotherapy from a well-documented group of 27 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with identified CF genotypes. Sputum samples were characterized ex vivo for their water content, surface properties (surface tension and contact angle), rheologic properties (viscosity and elastic modulus), and transport properties (mucociliary and cough transport). These data were analyzed in relation to the clinical status…

It is suggested that rhDNase is able to increase the free water content and alter the phospholipid profile of mucus, with a related improvement in CF mucus transportability.

The respiratory secretions of patients with bronchiectasis showed decreased mucociliary transport, and increased adhesiveness and purulence cause the worsening of transport properties, as demonstrated by the lesser displacement in the SCM and the higher CA.

It is suggested that the thickened mucus gel model will be useful to develop therapies of P. aeruginosa biofilms in CF via changes in the hydration-dependent physical–chemical properties of mucus and to link airway surface liquid hyperabsorption to the high incidence of the disease.

It is shown that CF sputum viscoelasticity is related to secondary infection, decreases with intravenous antibiotic therapy and correlates with inflammation, and COPDSputum demonstrates inherently greater viscoleasticity, providing a novel target for potential therapeutic interventions.

Haline tracheobronchial sputum can be stored in room temperature for 24 h without presenting alterations in ciliary transport or contact angle, however, purulent sputums should not be stored at roomTemperature for many hours, since ciliary Transport and contact angle might be altered as a result.
Pulmonary function is negatively correlated with sputum inflammatory markers and cough clearability in subjects with cystic fibrosis but not those with chronic bronchitis.

The sputum concentrations of IL-8, MPO, and DNA appear to be closely associated with pulmonary function inSubjects with CF but not in subjects with CB, and there was no correlation among pulmonary function,Sputum properties, and inflammatory markers in the sputums from subjects withCB.

It is unlikely that established CF lung disease is principally due to abnormal sputum properties, and it is more likely that the biophysical and transport properties reflect disease severity regardless of whether bronchiectasis is due to CF or PCD.
The Influence of Purulence on Ciliary and Cough Transport in Bronchiectasis

Respiratory secretions in individuals with bronchiectasis have poor transport properties, which manifest as reduced mucociliary transport, reduced mucus transport by cough, and higher contact angle.

The results suggest that prior to inflammation and infection, the viscosity and ion composition of the fetal AL do not differ in CF and non-CF.

P aeruginosa is the predominant respiratory pathogen isolated in the sputum of Chinese patients with steady-state bronchiectasis, and its isolation is associated with highSputum output (> or = 75th quartile) and moderately severe airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC < 60%).

It is suggested that in cystic fibrosis, there is no rheological abnormality of airway secretions other than that associated with purulence, and that the apparent inhibition in the mucociliary transport rate might be partly due to a ciliary inhibitor present in these secretions.

It is hypothesized that amiloride therapy decreases the excess sodium and water absorption that is a characteristic of CF airway epithelium and that it leads to an improvement in the rheologic properties of mucus favoring airway mucus clearance.

The results indicate that, in the absence of airway surface liquid, cough-type clearance relates primarily with mucus gel viscosity, and that clearance is also impaired by spinnability, i.e. the capacity of the mucus to form threads.
