Meanings of bronchial responsiveness in English

Pulmonary function tests are useful to evaluate airway obstructions and bronchial responsiveness.

This effect does not appear to be related to atopic status or bronchial responsiveness.

Features of asthma include increases in both bronchial responsiveness and variability of airflow rates.

SP600125 also inhibited allergen-induced increase in bronchial responsiveness.

In conclusion, the development of symptomatic late responses and associated increased bronchial responsiveness are relevant to day-to-day asthma.

We have examined the effect of prior bronchoconstriction on the bronchial responsiveness to inhaled histamine in nine normal subjects.

Pulmonary function and bronchial responsiveness were not significantly different between the patients with classic asthma and those with CVA.

The prevalence of bronchial responsiveness to histamine was lowest in subjects with the lowest skin test score in childhood.

Results: Children with severe versus mild-to-moderate asthma had more symptoms, greater airway obstruction, more gas trapping, and increased bronchial responsiveness to methacholine.

We studied the effect of i.v.administration of leukotriene (LT) C4 on bronchial responsiveness to histamine and airway wall thickening in guinea-pigs.

The results identify a close relationship between nonspecific bronchial responsiveness to histamine and the variability in flow rates which occurs spontaneously and after bronchodilator.

Bronchial responsiveness to histamine was expressed as the provocation concentration causing a fall in FEV 1 of 20% (PC 20).
