Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) on lung function and inflammatory mediators in cough variant asthma (CAV).Methods Fifty patients with CVA were randomly divided into group A (n =30) and group B (n =20),and 20 normal cases were recruited as healthy group (group C) in this study.All the cases were given a lung function test,bronchial dilation test(BDT) and serum levels of inflammatory mediators(interleukin(IL)-5,IL-8 and IL-10) assessment.The cases in group A were given longterm ICS intervention therapy of inhaled budesonide aerosol at dose of 200 μg/day with 6 months' follow-up period.The cases in group B and C were given salbutamol and symptomatic treatment if necessary.Assessment about lung function (forced vital capacity (FVC),1 s forced expiratory volume (FEV1),peak expiratory rate (PER) and maximum mid-expiratory flow rate(MMEF)),BDT,and inflammatory mediators in all groups were performed before and after treatment.Results (1) Lung function:before treatment,the level of FVC,FEV1 and PEF in three groups were not significantly different (P ＞ 0.05).MMEF in group A and B is significantly lower than that in group C (F =58.40,P ＜ 0.05).In group A,MMEF was significantly improved (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01) after 3 and 6 months ICS treatment.In group B,MMEF was not statistical improvement compared with before treatment(P ＞0.05).The BDT positive rate in group C was significantly lower than that in group A and B.The BDT positive rate in group A decreased after ICS treatment for 3 and 6 months.Meanwhile,the BDT level decreased as the longer treatment.In group B,there was no statistical decrease in terms of BDT positive rate(P ＞0.05).(2)Inflammatory mediators:in group C,the serum levels of IL-5 and IL-8 were lower than those in group A and B,but the level of I L-10 was higher than it in the other two groups(P ＜0.05).After 3 and 6 months ICS treatment,the serum levels of IL-5 and IL-8 were significantly decreased and the level of I L-10 was increased.The longer course was given,the more obvious change they have.There was no statistical difference in group B after 3 to 6 months treatment.It was statistical difference between group A and group B after 3 to 6 months treatment (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion ICS treatment can significantly improve lung function and inflammatory mediators in patients with cough variant asthma.The better improvement will get if the longer treatment is given.
