Ask Dr. Chu: An Interview with a Peruvian-born Chinese Canadian Living in the U.S.
Full text linkClara Chu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research interests include multicultural library and information services, information seeking behavior and critical information studies. Inspired by educator Paulo Freire, Professor Chu?s goal is to eradicate the „culture of silence? created when individuals are oppressed by information practices and systems that deny them access and representation.
As one of the leading scholars on multiculturalism and information practices, Clara has published numerous articles on issues related to diversity, equity and multilingual information resources. In addition to her publications, she has been recognized for outstanding contributions to the library profession. In 2002, the American Library Association honored her with its Equality Award for promoting equality in the profession. And, in 2005 she was noted in Library Journal as a person who is shaping the future of libraries through her innovativeness and eagerness to make a difference.

Effect of terbutaline on hyperpnoea-induced bronchoconstriction and urinary club cell protein 16 in athletes
Full text linkThis article is made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund and is distributed by the Creative Commons CC-BY 3.0 license, under which all are free to reuse or distribute the article under the condition that this original publication must be cited.Repeated injury of the airway epithelium caused by hyperpnoea of poorly conditioned air has been proposed as a key factor in the pathogenesis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in athletes. In animals, the short-acting β2-agonist terbutaline has been shown to reduce dry airflow-induced bronchoconstriction and the associated shedding of airway epithelial cells. Our aim was to test the efficacy of inhaled terbutaline in attenuating hyperpnoea-induced bronchoconstriction and airway epithelial injury in athletes. Twenty-seven athletes with EIB participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Athletes completed an 8-min eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea (EVH) test with dry air on two separate days 15 min after inhaling 0.5 mg terbutaline or a matching placebo. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and urinary concentration of the club cell (Clara cell) protein 16 (CC16, a marker of airway epithelial perturbation) were measured before and up to 60 min after EVH. The maximum fall in FEV1 of 17 ± 8% (SD) on placebo was reduced to 8 ± 5% following terbutaline (P < 0.001). Terbutaline gave bronchoprotection (i.e., post-EVH FEV1 fall <10%) to 22 (81%) athletes. EVH caused an increase in urinary excretion of CC16 in both conditions (P < 0.001), and terbutaline significantly reduced this rise (pre- to postchallenge CC16 increase 416 ± 495 pg/μmol creatinine after placebo vs. 315 ± 523 pg/μmol creatinine after terbutaline, P = 0.016). These results suggest that the inhalation of a single therapeutic dose of terbutaline offers significant protection against hyperpnoea-induced bronchoconstriction and attenuates acute airway epithelial perturbation in athletes.World Anti Doping Agenc
Urinary CC16 after challenge with dry air hyperpnoea and mannitol in recreational summer athletes
Full text linkAirway epithelial injury is regarded as a key contributing factor to the pathogenesis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in athletes. The concentration of the pneumoprotein club cell (Clara cell) CC16 in urine has been found to be a non-invasive marker for hyperpnoea-induced airway epithelial perturbation. Exercise-hyperpnoea induces mechanical, thermal and osmotic stress to the airways. We investigated whether osmotic stress alone causes airway epithelial perturbation in athletes with suspected EIB. Twenty-four recreational summer sports athletes who reported respiratory symptoms on exertion performed a standard eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea test with dry air and a mannitol test (osmotic challenge) on separate days. Median urinary CC16 increased from 120 to 310 ρg μmol creatinine-1 after dry air hyperpnoea (P = 0.002) and from 90 to 191 ρg μmol creatinine-1 after mannitol (P = 0.021). There was no difference in urinary CC16 concentration between athletes who did or did not bronchoconstrict after dry air hyperpnoea or mannitol. We conclude that, in recreational summer sports athletes with respiratory symptoms, osmotic stress per se to the airway epithelium induces a rise in urinary excretion of CC16. This suggests that hyperosmolarity of the airway surface lining perturbs the airway epithelium in symptomatic athletes.The study was independently supported financially by the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA).
