It is known that beta-adrenergic stimulants enhance mucociliary transport in the respiratory tract. The present study clearly indicated that such an enhancement resulted from not only the alteration in secretory function but also the direct stimulation of ciliated cells. However, the enhancement of ciliary beating depended on the morphological changes in ciliated cells. On the other hand, the effect of terbutaline aerosol, a beta-adrenergic stimulant, on patients with chronic sinusitis was evaluated by paranasal sinus radiography. Consequently, marked improvements in shadows were achieved after 4 weeks in 40% of the cases examined.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D002923 Cilia Populations of thin, motile processes found covering the surface of ciliates (CILIOPHORA) or the free surface of the cells making up ciliated EPITHELIUM. Each cilium arises from a basic granule in the superficial layer of CYTOPLASM. The movement of cilia propels ciliates through the liquid in which they live. The movement of cilia on a ciliated epithelium serves to propel a surface layer of mucus or fluid.

D002925 Ciliary Motility Disorders Conditions caused by abnormal CILIA movement in the body, usually causing KARTAGENER SYNDROME, chronic respiratory disorders, chronic SINUSITIS, and chronic OTITIS. Abnormal ciliary beating is likely due to defects in any of the 200 plus ciliary proteins, such as missing motor enzyme DYNEIN arms.
