When treating bronchial hyperresponsiveness to so-called direct and indirect stimuli, distinct pathophysiological mechanisms might require differences in dose and duration of inhaled corticosteroid therapy. To test this hypothesis in children with asthma, we investigated the time- and dose-dependent

Two hundred fourteen children with mild to moderate asthma were studied to determine bronchodilator effects 5 min after administration of five different metered dose inhaler (MDI) aerosol formulations available in our country, and results were compared to placebo. Methacholine bronchial challenge wa
The current study was designed to assess the methacholine dose-response behaviour of the airways and pulmonary parenchyma with the aid of alveolar capsules. The experiments were performed in eight adult female Wistar rats (155-250 g). The animals were anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (30 mg k
Indirect tests of bronchial responsiveness to agents such as adenosine 5Πmonophosphate (AMP) or bradykinin might be more specific markers of a therapeutic responses to anti-inflammatory treatment than a test of direct responsiveness to agents such as methacholine. In children selected from the commu
To determine whether inhaled beclomethasone, both at low and at high doses, inhibits late asthmatic reactions and the associated increase in airway responsiveness induced by toluene diisocyanate (TDI), we studied 9 sensitised subjects . Low dose beclomethasone (200,ug bid), high dose beclomethasone
