Concentration of inflammatory cytokines in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) were plotted for the normal control, smoker normal forced oscillation technique (FOT), and smoker abnormal FOT groups. Concentration of inflammatory cytokines in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) were plotted for the normal control, smoker normal forced oscillation technique (FOT), and smoker abnormal FOT groups. Statistically higher levels of a) interleukin (IL)-8; b) eotaxin; and c) fractalkine were noted in the smoker abnormal FOT group, compared with the smoker normal FOT group (p=0.004, 0.002 and 0.003, respectively).
