  • Title: [Analysis of bronchial hypersensitivity in patients with bronchial asthma].
    Author: Ubaĭdullaev AM, Uzakova GT.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 2000; 72(8):17-9. PubMed ID: 11019419.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To analyse correlation between bronchial hypersensitivity in bronchial asthma (BA) and environmental factors; to propose methods of relevant correction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The trial included 97 BA patients (42 males, 55 females) aged 17-79 years. Bronchial sensitivity was studied by means of dose-dependent bronchial resistance curve (Rrs) plotted by the unit Masterlab (Germany) in the course of long-term inhalation of a gradually rising dose of methacholine. A regression analysis was made of the dependence of fluticasone bipropionate effectiveness on clinical symptoms of the disease. RESULTS: Bronchial hypersensitivity depends on initial clinical symptoms of BA, in a less degree on bronchial permeability, severity of inflammation of bronchial mucosa. CONCLUSION: Local corticosteroid fluticasone propionate is a drug of choice in the treatment of mild and moderate BA.
