OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of intermittent versus daily inhalation of budesonide on pulmonary function and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in children with mild persistent asthma. METHODS: A total of 120 children, aged 6-14 years, with mild persistent asthma who attended the hospital from January 2016 to January 2018 were enrolled. The children were divided into an intermittent inhalation group with 60 children (inhalation of budesonide 200 μg/day for 6 weeks when symptoms of asthma appeared) and a daily inhalation group with 60 children (continuous inhalation of budesonide 200 μg/day) by stratified randomization. The children were followed up at months 3, 6, 9, and 12 of treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of baseline data, changes in FeNO and pulmonary function parameters, amount of glucocorticoid used, number of asthma attacks, and asthma control. RESULTS: At the start of treatment, there were no significant differences in baseline data, FeNO, and pulmonary function between the two groups (P>0.05). Over the time of treatment, FeNO gradually decreased and pulmonary function parameters were gradually improved in both groups (P<0.001). Compared with the intermittent inhalation group, the daily inhalation group had a better effect in reducing FeNO and increasing the predicted percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1%pred) (P<0.001). The inhalation method and treatment time had an interaction effect on FeNO and pulmonary function parameters (P<0.001). In the daily inhalation group, FeNO and lung function parameters were improved rapidly and stabilized after 3 months of treatment, while those in the intermittent inhalation group stabilized after 6 months. After 12 months of treatment, there were no significant differences in the increases in body height and body weight and the degree of disease control between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the daily inhalation group, the intermittent inhalation group had a significantly lower amount of budesonide inhaled (P<0.05) and a significantly higher number of asthma attacks (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Intermittent inhalation and daily inhalation of budesonide can achieve the same level of asthma control in children with mild persistent asthma and both have no influence on the increases in body height and body weight. Daily inhalation of budesonide can produce a better efficiency in reduing FeNO and increasing FEV1%pred. Although intermittent inhalation can reduce the amount of glucocorticoid used, it may lead to a higher risk of asthma attacks.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the recent clinical efficiency of nebulized Pulmicort respimat after FESS. METHOD: Forty-four patients with chronic sinusitis who received FESS, 21 cases were treated with aerosol therapy: Pulmicort respimat , the other 23 cases were treated with Budesonide aqueous nasal spray. All the patients were asked for return at the day 14. Efficacy was evaluated by measurement of nasal symptom scores and sign scores at day 2 and day 14, the biopsy of the membrane on the gap of sinus maxillary were taken to count the eosinophil cell and neutrophil cell in per hundred inflammation cells under microscope and analyze the statistic of the symptom scores, sign scores, efficiency, percentage of the eosinophil cell and the neutrophil cell between two groups at day 14. RESULT: There was no significant differences on the total score between two groups at the day 2, while the therapy group was remarkably lower than that in the control group at the day 14 (P < 0.01). The therapy group had a higher efficacity than the control group but no significance (P > 0.05). The percentage of the eosinophil was no significant differences between two groups (P > 0.05), while the percentage of the neutrophil was lower in the therapy group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Pulmicort respimat and Budesonide are the same type hormones, butPulmicort respimat is a fine granule mixed liquid, with PARI SINUS nasal spray, it can arrive at the whole cavity of the sinus maxillary and be absorbed faster and in a larger space. We consider that nebulized Pulmicort respimat after FESS can relieve the acute inflammation and oedema, it can also reduce the complication of the surgery. The recent clinical efficiency of the Pulmicort respimat is much better than other aqueous nasal spray.

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effect of the oxygen drive aerosol in halation with budesonide and ambroxol in the prevention of adult post-thoracotomy pneumonia. METHODS: This was a randomized, open and parallel controlled trial. We chose 80 cases of patients in the department of thoracic surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University which fitted our criteria as the research object. The selected patients were randomly divided into the active group and the control group, and the active group underwent oxygen drive aerosol inhalation (2 mg budesonide combined 60 mg ambroxol) for 3 days before operation, and the control group without preoperative aerosol inhalation, and their postoperative therapy was the same. RESULTS: The baseline data showed that the differences in sex, age, disease and smoking were not statistically significant between the two groups, P>0.05. The results of blood gas analysis before 12 hours of operation suggested that, the PaO₂and PaCO₂values of the active group were (88.40±9.40) mmHg and (38.30±6.10) mmHg; The PaO₂and PaCO₂ values of the control group were (85.09±7.18) mmHg and (41.21±3.15) mmHg. And the two groups' P values were 0.029 and 0.011, with statistical differences. There were 3 patients who developed postoperative pneumonia out of 40 patients in the active group, the incidence was 7.50%, but the incidence of control group was 25.00%. The P value was 0.034, with statistical differences. We also analyzed the influence of different diseases and surgical methods on postoperative pneumonia, and the results showed that in the active group and the control group, the incidence of postoperative pneumonia in the patients with esophageal cancer was lower than that in lung cancer patients, and there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). In the active group, the numbers of pulmonary deed resection, lobectomy and pulmonary sleeve resection were 2, 21 and 1 cases respectively, and the corresponding numbers in the control group were 2, 21 and 2. Among the two groups, the incidence of postoperative pneumonia in the patients with different surgical methods of lung cancer was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION If we implement respiratory preparation with budesonide plus ambroxol inhalation for 3 days before operation, we can greatly reduce the incidence of postoperative pneumonia?

Using high pressure homogenization method combined with spray-drying, budesonide-loaded chitosan microparticles were prepared and the in vitro release profile was investigated. The microparticles were then blended with lactose using a vortex mixer, influence of mixing speed, mixing time on drug recovery rate and content homogeneity were investigated. Meanwhile, influence of lactose content on drug recovery rate, content homogeneity, powder flowability and in vitro deposition were studied. It turned out that budesonide was released from the microparicles in a sustained manner, with fine particle fraction as high as 46.0%, but the powder flowability was poor. After blending with 10 times of lactose, the drug recovery rate was 96.5%, with relative standard deviation of drug content 2.5%, and fine particle fraction of the formulation increased to 59.6% with good flowability. It's demonstrated that using a vortex mixer, budesonide sustained-release dry powder for inhalation with good recovery and content homogeneity could be prepared, the formulation had good flowability and was suitable for pulmonary inhaling.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical efficacy of porcine pulmonary surfactant (PS) combined with budesonide suspension intratracheal instillation in the treatment of neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS).

METHODSSeventy neonates with MAS were enrolled for a prospective study. The neonates were randomly assigned to PS alone treatment group and PS+budesonide treatment group (n=35 each). The PS alone treatment group was given PS (100 mg/kg) by intratracheal instillation. The treatment group was given budesonide suspension (0.25 mg/kg) combined with PS (100 mg/kg).

RESULTSThe rate of repeated use of PS in the PS+ budesonide group was significantly lower than that in the PS alone group 12 hours after treatment (p<0.05). The improvement of PaO/FiO, TcSaO, PaO, and PaCOin the PS+ budesonide group was significantly greater than that in the PS alone group 6, 12, and 24 hours after treatment (p<0.05). The chest X-ray examination showed that the pulmonary inflammation absorption in the PS+ budesonide group was significantly better than that in the PS alone group 48 hours after treatment (p<0.05). The incidence of complications in the PS+budesonide group was significantly lower than that in the PS alone group (p<0.05), and the average hospitalization duration was significantly shorter than that in the PS alone group (p<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSPS combined with budesonide suspension intratracheal instillation for the treatment of neonatal MAS is effective and superior to PS alone treatment.
