Objective:Effect of glucocorticoids-budesonide and antileukotriene–montelukast in patients with bronchial asthma and bronchial increased reactivity was studied in this work.Methods:Parameters of the lung function are determined with Body plethysmography. Raw and ITGV were registered and specific resistance (SRaw) was also calculated.Results:Results of this research, in patients with bronchial asthma, indicate that glucocorticoids – budesonide (Pulmicort; 2 × 2 mg inh) has significant action (p< 0.01) on reduction of the specific resistance (SRaw) of airways, applied to the same patients 3 days after administration of montelukast, at home (2 × 10 mg). Three days after administration of the montelukast, antileukotriene medicine, at home, on the fourth day same patients administered a capsule of montelukast, 10 mg dose per os, and significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the increased bronchomotor tonus; and the effect of the control with salbutamol (beta2-adrenergic agonist) is effective in removal of the increased bronchomotor tonus, causing significant decrease of the resistance (Raw), respectively of the specific resistance (SRaw), (p < 0, 01).Conclusion:This suggests that the bronchodilator effect of glucocorticoids is more powerful than of the leukotriene, because glucocorticoids terminate the early stage of chemical mediator release (prostaglandins PgD2, SRS, and leukotriene LTC4, LTD4, LTE4 and Cytokinins also etc.) as powerful bronchoconstriction substances, whilst antileukotriene substances does not have this feature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
