چکیده

cromolyn sodium, a mast cell stabilizing agent, provides an immediate protective effect against the exercise-induced bronchoconstriction while being used before the exercise. however, cromolyn is ineffective in reversing asthmatic bronchospasm; it is used as a maintenance therapy and has a prophylactic role in chronic asthma.    the purpose of this study was to determine the extent of change in baseline lung function tests following a single dose of cromolyn sodium in adult asthmatics.    forty volunteers (33 women and 7 men) with moderate to severe persistent asthma were randomly assigned to receive 20 mg cromolyn, 40 mg cromolyn or cromolyn-placebo. the percent of improvement in lung function parameters was compared among the groups, during 1 h of inhalation.    low dose of cromolyn induced more improvement in most lung function parameters such as forced expiratory flow volume in one second, forced vital capacity and peak expiratory flow compared with other groups. after 15 min, the improvement percentage of baseline forced expiratory flow volume in one second was 3.35 ± 1.5, for sodium cromoglycate-20 mg group compared with 0.98 ± 1.43 and - 0.68 ± 1.2 for sodium cromoglycate-placebo and sodium cromoglycate-40 mg, groups respectively. however, the differences between means were not significant. furthermore, based on the definition of american thoracic society (ats) for a ”significant post-bronchodilator response” developed in a few patients 15 min after the inhalation of 20 mg cromolyn sodium.    it is suggested that probably the inhalation of 20 mg of cromolyn sodium could immediately improve the lung function in few adults with asthma.

Characterisation of bronchoconstrictor responses to sodium metabisulphite aerosol in atopic subjects with and without asthma.

Inhalation of sodium metabisulphite is thought to induce bronchoconstriction by release of sulphur dioxide. We sought to establish the reproducibility of the airway response to inhaled sodium metabisulphite given in increasing doubling concentrations (0.3 to 160 mg/ml) to 13 asthmatic and five atopic non-asthmatic subjects and the contribution of cholinergic mechanisms to this response. In 15 o...

Effect of oral terfenadine on bronchoconstrictor response to inhaled neurokinin A and histamine in asthmatic subjects.

Neurokinin A (NKA) elicits a potent contractile effect in asthmatic airways. Its mechanism of action in bronchial asthma is still unknown. Recent work supports the view that NKA may stimulate mediator release from mast cells. To investigate the relative contribution of mast cell degranulation to the action of NKA, a randomized, double-blind study has been undertaken, to evaluate the effect of a...

Betamethasone valerate compared with sodium cromoglycate in asthmatic children.

A double-blind, cross-over study was undertaken to compare inhalation of betamethasone valerate (BV, 800 microgram daily) with sodium cromoglycate (SCG, 80 mg daily) in twenty children requiring bronchodilators for perennial asthma. Each treatment period lasted 4 weeks but statistical comparisons were made only in respect of the last 14 days of each therapy. When the children were using BV they...
