Abstract

Effects and actions of DSCG and corticosteroids in the airways could not essentially evaluated at the same situation, before the inhaled BDP had been used. Each of the drugs have been shown to reduce both immediate and late phase responses in experimentally induced asthma, exercise induced bronchospasm, and bronchial hypersensitivity to histamine especially after the prolonged pretreatment of BDP. DSCG probably targets nonspecifically the surfaces of relevant cells including mast cells and eosinophils, but BDP are known to act specifically and/or nonspecifically on the gene transcription in the various types of cells including eosinophils, lymphocytes, and resident cells. Many informations on the systemic side effects of BDP will be still required.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
