Cromoglycate and Nedocromil: Influence on Airway Reactivity
Although basic mechanisms of bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) are still incompletely understood, inflammation of airways is likely to play a fundamental role in modulating BHR in patients with asthma. The involvement of several inflammatory cells (eosinophils, mast cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, macrophages and platelets) and of bioactive mediators secreted by these cells in the pathogene...
متن کاملEffects of nedocromil and salbutamol on airway reactivity in children with asthma.
Nedocromil and salbutamol are effective drugs in preventing exercise-induced asthma (EIA). The aim of this study was to compare the protective effects of both drugs and a combination of both drugs against cold dry air-induced bronchoconstriction, using cold dry air challenges (CACh) as a surrogate for exercise. Twenty-five atopic children (mean age 13.7, range 8-18 yrs) with EIA participated in...
متن کاملEffects of sodium cromoglycate and nedocromil sodium on histamine secretion from human lung mast cells.
Sodium cromoglycate and nedocromil sodium produced a dose dependent inhibition of histamine secretion from human pulmonary mast cells obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage and by enzymatic dissociation of lung parenchyma. Both compounds were significantly more active against the lavage cells than against the dispersed lung cells, and nedocromil sodium was an order of magnitude more effective than ...
متن کاملNedocromil sodium inhibits the increase in airway reactivity induced by platelet activating factor in humans.
To investigate the effect of nedocromil sodium on changes in airway reactivity to methacholine induced by platelet activating factor, we studied 12 nonasthmatic, nonatopic subjects (24 to 41 years) in a double-blind trial. The FEV1 and airflow at 30 percent of vital capacity from a partial forced expiration (V30p) were used to assess changes in airway caliber. Two concentration-response curves ...
متن کاملNebulised sodium cromoglycate in infancy: airway
Over a two year period 100 infants with histories of wheeze were challenged with nebulised water. They were sedated and lung function measured by total body plethysmography. Thirteen of the 53 infants who developed bronchoconstriction after challenge with nebulised water were given nebulised sodium cromoglycate and rechallenged with nebulised water. All infants were initially challenged with no...
