哮喘的流行病学以及发病机制.pptVIP

* * * * Asthma is a complex disease involving many different cells Current thinking on the pathophysiology of asthma regards it as a specific type of inflammatory condition, involving, in particular, mast cells, eosinophils and T lymphocytes, which release a wide range of inflammatory mediators These mediators act on cells in the airway, leading to contraction of smooth muscle, oedema due to plasma leakage and mucus plugging * Asthma is a complex disease involving many different cells Current thinking on the pathophysiology of asthma regards it as a specific type of inflammatory condition, involving, in particular, mast cells, eosinophils and T lymphocytes, which release a wide range of inflammatory mediators These mediators act on cells in the airway, leading to contraction of smooth muscle, oedema due to plasma leakage and mucus plugging * Asthma is a complex disease involving many different cells Current thinking on the pathophysiology of asthma regards it as a specific type of inflammatory condition, involving, in particular, mast cells, eosinophils and T lymphocytes, which release a wide range of inflammatory mediators These mediators act on cells in the airway, leading to contraction of smooth muscle, oedema due to plasma leakage and mucus plugging 哮喘发病的本质是外界过敏原等进入气道和肺内发生异常的炎症反应。而这种炎症反应导致，支气管狭窄、气道反应性升高。　 * * * Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with episodic attacks, involving acute inflammation on top of chronically persistent inflammation Acute inflammation in asthma is associated with bronchoconstriction, plasma exudation / oedema, vasodilatation and mucus hypersecretion Chronic inflammation in asthma is associated with subepithelial fibrosis, smooth muscle hyperplasia / hypertrophy, mucus gland hyperplasia and new vessel formation If asthma remains uncontrolled or poorly controlled, the underlying persistent inflammation in the airways leads to structural changes (remodelling) that reduce the extent of FEV1 response to short courses
