Dry Powder and Budesonide Inhalation Suspension Deposition Rates in Asthmatic Airway-Obstruction Regions.

ABSTRACT: Steroid inhalation is the standard bronchial asthma therapy and it includes powdered metered doses, dry powder, and nebulizer suspension. However, particle sizes vary widely. The research goal was to demonstrate that different budesonide administration forms and devices have various deposition rates in the airway obstruction region. Here, we compared relative inhalation therapy efficacies and identified therapies that delivered the highest drug doses to the airway obstruction region. Weibel's anatomy data were used to identify the airway obstruction region in asthma. Based on European Standardization Committee data, we investigated the diameters of the drug particles being deposited there and evaluated the average particle size and distribution of the budesonide dosage forms and application devices. Drug dose depositions were measured by HPLC at each stage of a Cascade Impactor. Weibel's anatomy data indicated that the 1st-4th bronchial generations comprised the airway obstruction region and corresponded to the tracheobronchial area. According to the European Standardization, particles 2-6?µm in diameter were readily deposited there. The proportions of particles in this size range were 33.0%, 32.0%, 59.0%, and 78.0% for Turbuhaler, Symbicort, mesh-type NE-U22 suspension, and jet-type NE-C28 suspension, respectively. We localized the airway obstruction regions of bronchial asthma and identified the optimal inhalation therapy particle size. An electric nebulizer was more efficacious for budesonide administration than dry powder delivery. The NE-C28 treatment deposited 2.36x more budesonide in the airway obstruction region than dry powder delivery systems.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Differences in asthma severity may be related to inflammation in the airways. The lower airway microbiota has been associated with clinical features such as airway obstruction, symptom control, and response to corticosteroids. OBJECTIVE:To assess the relationship between local airway inflammation, severity of disease, and the lower airway microbiota in atopic asthmatics. METHODS:A cohort of young adult, atopic asthmatics with intermittent or mild/moderate persistent symptoms (n = 13) were assessed via bronchoscopy, lavage, and spirometry. These individuals were compared to age matched non-asthmatic controls (n = 6) and to themselves after six weeks of treatment with fluticasone propionate (FP). Inflammation of the airways was assessed via a cytokine and chemokine panel. Lower airway microbiota composition was determined by metagenomic shotgun sequencing. RESULTS:Unsupervised clustering of cytokines and chemokines prior to treatment with FP identified two asthmatic phenotypes (AP), termed AP1 and AP2, with distinct bronchoalveolar lavage inflammatory profiles. AP2 was associated with more obstruction, compared to AP1. After treatment with FP reduced MIP-1? and TNF-? and increased IL-2 was observed. A module of highly correlated cytokines that include MIP-1? and TNF-? was identified that negatively correlated with pulmonary function. Independently, IL-2 was positively correlated with pulmonary function. The airway microbiome composition correlated with asthmatic phenotypes. AP2, prior to FP treatment, was enriched with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Unique associations between IL-2 or the cytokine module and the microbiota composition of the airways were observed in asthmatics subjects prior to treatment but not after or in controls. CONCLUSION:The underlying inflammation in atopic asthma is related to the composition of microbiota and is associated with severity of airway obstruction. Treatment with inhaled corticosteroids was associated with changes in the airway inflammatory response to microbiota.

Project description:The use of oxygen-driven aerosol inhalation therapy with budesonide (suspension) and terbutaline sulfate for the treatment of pediatric asthmatic bronchitis was studied. Sixty pediatric patients diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis in Xuzhou Children's Hospital during the period comprising April 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled in the study. After randomly dividing the patients into a control (conventional dexamethasone drip) and a treatment group (inhalation of budesonide with terbutaline sulfate) of 30 patients each, the symptoms were treated using antibiotics when necessary. The results of our evaluation showed the overall effective rate of treatment in the control group was 73.33% (40% with marked improvement, 33.33% with some improvement and 26.67% with no improvement) and that in the treatment group was 96.67% (73.73% with marked improvement, 23.33% with some improvement and only 3.33% with no improvement) with a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). The pulmonary functions of all pediatric patients showed no statistically significant differences in the pulmonary function indexes between the two groups before treatment (p>0.05). However, the differences in FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and PEF between control and treatment groups before and after treatment were statistically significant (p<0.05), with overall improvement being higher in the treatment group. Finally, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level in patients of the two groups improved significantly after treatment (p<0.05). The ESR and CRP level in the treatment group were improved to a higher degree than those in the control group (p<0.05). There were only minor adverse reactions in two patients in the treatment group, and the overall rate of adverse reactions was not significantly different between the two groups (p>0.05). Based on our evaluation the aerosol inhalation therapy of budesonide (suspension) with terbutaline sulfate has definite curative effects and is safe to use on pediatric asthmatic bronchitis patients. The approach is superior to the conventional dexamethasone treatment and is worth studying in larger populations for recommending it widely.
