Abstract

To compare the distribution and clearance of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate (Bec)-dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) liposomes in patients with mild and severe asthma. A 99mTc-labeled Bec-DLPC suspension was delivered via a nebulizer (Aerotech II). Immediately after inhalation, anterior and posterior views of the lungs and an anterior view of the oropharynx were measured by a large field gamma camera with the patient in a supine position. To evaluate the mucociliary clearance of the inhaled liposomes, anterior and posterior lung scans were repeated 1, 2, 4, and 24 h after the aerosol delivery. Ten patients with mild asthma (FEV1 >80% of the predicted) and 10 patients with severe asthma (FEV1 <60% of the predicted) were included in an open, parallel group study. Clearance is more rapid among patients with severe asthma (p<0.0001). At the 4-h measurement, a mean of 82% (SD, 5.9) of the total pulmonary dose was detected in the lungs of patients with mild asthma while in those with severe asthma the figure was 69% (SD, 10.9). The ratio between central and peripheral deposition was significantly higher for patients with severe asthma than for those having a mild form of the disease; 1.07 (SD, 0.29) and 0.76 (SD, 0.07), respect...Continue Reading

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.
