Abstract

We studied the effect of exposure to ozone (0.6 ppm, 2 h) on bronchial reactivity in 16 otherwise healthy, nonsmoking subjects with normal pulmonary function. On the basis of medical history and allergen skin testing, 7 subjects were classified as nonatopic; 9, as atopic. Bronchial reactivity was assessed by measuring the increase in specific airway resistance (SRaw) produced by inhaling histamine or methacholine aerosol before and after sham exposure and after ozone exposure. Nonatopic subjects inhaled 10 breaths of histamine (16 mg/ml solution) and of methacholine (10 mg/ml solution); atopic subjects inhaled 10 breaths of histamine (8 mg/ml solution). In neither group of subjects was the response to histamine affected by sham exposure (p > 0.5). In the nonatopic subjects, the increase in SRaw produced by histamine (6.57 ± 1.43 cm H2O/L/s · L, mean ± SEM) and by methacholine (8.94 ± 2.12 cm H2O/L/s · L) after ozone exposure were significantly greater than after sham exposure (3.42 ± 0.64 and 3.62 ± 0.61 ...

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
