Meanings of bronchial reactivity in English

Also bronchial reactivity seemed to be impaired in basophil-depleted mice, but the result was not statistically significant.

These findings support the hypothesis that activation of T lymphocytes mediates allergic pulmonary inflammation and bronchial reactivity in asthma.

Additionally, bronchial reactivity was evaluated.

The concentration of acetylcholine required to induce a 100% increase in PIP was used to assess bronchial reactivity.

Responses were measured with spirometry and symptom evaluations before and after each exposure, and a bronchial reactivity test (methacholine challenge) was conducted after each exposure.

Vital capacity, FEV1, and bronchial reactivity to methacholine were measured before treatment began, and again 12 weeks and 24 weeks after it had begun.

We also measured bronchial reactivity in sensitized exposed guinea pigs at 2 h (n = 5) and at 24 h (n = 5).

Bronchial reactivity was measured in sensitized animals and in control animals at 8 h after exposure to the dust.

Bronchial reactivity returned to normal within 2 to 3 wk after cessation of dust-mite inhalations in all but one subject.

Bronchial reactivity peaked after the first O3 exposure and remained somewhat elevated after all subsequent O3 exposures, relative to its control level following filtered-air exposures.
