Abstract

The relationship between bronchial hypersensitivity as the key phenomenon ofbronchial asthma and detoxication GSTM1 or GSTT1 gene polymorphism in children with neutrophilic phenotype of this disease remains unclear 33 children with bronchial asthma of neutrophile phenotype were examined in histamine and dosed physical exercise (running) tests. In addition GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotyping was performed. Histamine test revealed bronchial hypersensitivity (HTC < 0.3 mg/ml) in 30.7% of the children with GSTMI and/or GSTTI deletions versus 12.5% of those without deletions (P phi < 0.05). The relative risk ofhypersensitivity to histamine (HTC < 0.3 mg/mI) in the presence of deletions was estimnated as 3.1 (95% CI 1.4-6.4), at OR 2.4 (95% CI 1.08-3.1) andAR = 0.18. Children with the neutrophilic phenotype of bronchial asthma having deletions in the GSTT1/GSTM1 system are characterized by bronchial hypersensitivity to histamine and dosed physical exercises.

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.

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.
