2. FIGURE 1
Bronchial neutrophils after inhalation challenge. Both group 1 and group 2, seen in panel A (top), had elevations in percent bronchial neutrophils above the levels seen in those challenged with HBSS (p<0.01). A similar relationship was seen in the absolute bronchial neutrophils, shown in panel B (bottom). Neither the percent nor the absolute bronchial neutrophils in group 3 were greater than in control subjects.

3. FIGURE 2
Alveolar neutrophils in subjects challenged by inhalation of GSDE±corticosteroids or HBSS. As shown in panel A (top), the percent alveolar neutrophils for both groups 1 and 2 were significantly higher than for the group that received only HBSS (p values for both comparisons, <0.01). Panel B (bottom) shows absolute alveolar neutrophils, which again were significantly greater in both groups challenged with GSDE (p values <0.01 and 0.05, respectively).

4. FIGURE 3
Absolute peripheral blood neutrophils after challenge with GSDE±corticosteroid or HBSS. The absolute numbers of neutrophils were significantly elevated in groups 1 and 2 compared with group 3 at +3, +5, +7, and +9 h (p<0.001, all comparisons). At +5, +7, and +9 h, those who received corticosteroid with the GSDE had significantly more WBCs and PMNs than those who received GSDE alone (p<0.01, all comparisons).

5. FIGURE 4
Peripheral blood neutrophil chemotaxis of study subjects to GSDE at baseline, +7 h, and +24 h. The increase in chemotaxis to GSDE was significantly greater in group 1 than in 3 group at +7 h (p<0.001). Also, the increase in group 1 was significantly higher than in group 2, suggesting that corticosteroid decreased the response (p<0.01).
