Clinical Aspects
Cvičenie č. 7
DEFINITION AB
Asthma bronchiale is chronic
inflammatory disease of
airways connected with
bronchial hyperreactivity and
totally or partially reversible
obstruction of airways, which in
the most cases dissapears
spontaneously or with
treatment.
ASTHMA BRONCHIALE
reversible
obstruction
daily symptom variability
family history
beginning at any age, most often
10-15%
children
5-10% adults
no
smoking
allergy, rinitis, eczema - may / may not

ETIOPATOGENESIS
INFLAMMATION activation of mastocytes,
macrophages, eosinophils, helper Th-lymfocytes =>
formed and released inflammatory mediators:
histamine, leucotriens, prostaglandins, bradykinin
bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, plasma exudation
and bronchial hyperreactivity, airway remodelation
insufficient anti-inflammatory therapy => progressive
destructive changes fixing of airway obstruction to
emphysematous changes
Triggers of Symptoms and
Exacerbations
allergens
factors of air pollution (including cigarette smoke)
respiratory infections, particularly viral (RSV,
rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, chlamydia)
physical activity and hyperventilation (by osmotic
processes)
wheather changes
food and drugs (ASA, NSAID, -blockers)
emotional stress
gastroesophageal reflux
KLINICAL SYMPTOMS OF AB

management begins with right analysis of
symptoms
-
to them belong:

KLINICAL SIGNS OF AB
depends on the stage of asthma
intermittent attacks of expiration type dyspnoe, ich
worsening at night and at dawn
wheezing: intermittent, more significant at expiration
cough: usually not productive, can be basic sign
anxiety, pressure, chest tightness, dyspnoe
sputum production usually little, if than väzký
mucus
prodromal signs prior attack: itching under the chin,
discomfort between shoulder blades, fear, anxiety
typical is vanishing of signs after b-dilatances or
antiinflammatory therapy, unsuccessful ATB th.
DIAGNOSTIC
PRINCIPLE: simple examinations made
repeatedly are more usefull than complete
examinations made at one time or during
long intervals limitation of expiratory flow
at asthma has variable character findings
may vary from completely normal to
absolutely pathological
Functional diagnostics
Allergologic diagnostics
Specifying of inflammation markers
EXAMINATIONS AT AB
SPIROMETRIA
BRONCHODILATION TESTS (BDT)
BRONCHOPROVOKING TEST (BKT)
it verifies the degree of obstruction reversibility
BKT with histamine, ACh, adenosine, excercise, cold...
negative BKT excludes dg. of AB (absence of
bronchial hyperreactivity...)
PEF variability by výdychomerom (self monitoring)
ARTERIAL BLOOD GASES (at exacerbation)
Determination of NO in exhaled air (early marker of
asthmatic inflammation)
SPUTUM EXAMINATION
eosinophils and their effective products, Curshmann´s
spirals, Charcot-Leyden´s crystalls
SPIROMETRIA
• simple, reproductible
• gives informations about
restriction of air flow
• – FVC (forced vital
capacity)
– FEV1 (sec. vital cap.)
– FEV3 (forced expiratory
flow at 50% expiration)
– FEV1/VC – Tiffaneau´s
index (FEV3/VC)
– PEF (peak expiratory
flow in l/min)
DIFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
asthma cardiale at older adults
viral bronchiolitis at children
hyperventilatory syndrom
fixed obstacles in the airways (tumors,
extramural compression, foreign particles)
diffuse interstitial lung processes
pneumothorax
chest wall diseases (kyphoscoliosis,
neuromuscular diseases)
CHOPD
Asthma Bronchiale
Beginning in middle age
Beginning in younger age
Symptoms progress slowly
Symptoms from day to day
changing
Long anamnesis of smoking
Symptoms in the afternoon or
early morning
Dyspnoe at excercise
Also allergy, rhinitis, eczema

GOALS of Optimal AB Control
-
elimination or significant reduction of
symptoms
prevention of exacerbations
maintaining lung functions closest to
physiological values
maintaining normal physical and living
activity
absence of treatment adverse effects
prevention of irreversible bronchial
obstruction (remodelation of lower airways)
preventing asthma mortality
THERAPY OF AB
Nonpharmacological
Patients´ education
avoiding risk factors and triggers
Pharmacological
ANTIINFLAMMATORY
relieves inflammation and bronchial hyperreactivity
regular, long-term use
B R O N CH O D I L A T O R Y
eliminates the symptoms of expiratory flow limitation
rescue therapy in exacerbation
Administration of Drugs at
AB
peroral
parenteral
by inhalation
directly to the site of action
fast beginning of action
maximum efficacy
lower therapeutic doses = minimalise risk of AE
limitations from the site of patient (technique of
inhalation, cooperation...)
inspiratory resistance, needs to be overcomed
Inhalatory
Systems
Nowadays
THERAPY OF AB
A: CONTROLLERS
preventive drugs, controlling inflammation
are taken regularly,long time to maintain control
antiinflammatory drugs
long acting inhalatory bronchodilators
B: RELIEVERS
substances releasing bronchospasm
relieving = fast acting bronchodilators
C: OTHER ANTIASTHMATIC DRUGS
Monoclonal Ab
against IgE = omalizumab (50 pat. in SR)
ketotifen
Imunosupressives
(MTX, CysA...)
A: CONTROLLERS
inhalatory corticoids ICS
long-acting 2-sympathomimetics
(long-acting betaagonists ) LABA, (8-15h.)
antileukotriens LTRAs
leukotriene receptor antagonists
inhibitors of 5-lipooxygenase (zileuton)
retard methylxanthines
cromones
B: RELIEVERS
inhalatory short-acting 2-
sympathomimetics (short-acting betaagonists )
SABA (do 4-6 h.)
inhalatory anticholinergics short-acting
systemic corticoids p.o./i.v. („rescue“
treatment)
INHALATORY CORTICOIDS
ICS
the most effective antiinflammatory antiasthmatics
to long-term use at all forms of AB
Mechanism of action:
1. inhibition of cytokine transcription antiinflam. ef.
2. inhibition of mediators of inflam. release
3. decrease of airways reactivity
4. restriction of vasodilation antioedematic ef.
5. affect synthesis of eikosanoids
6. control activation of adhesive molecules
7. increase of susceptibility resp. protection of 2
receptors against down-regulation at long-term treatment
with 2 mimetics
ICS
AE locally can reduce with the use of attachments
and rinsing the mouth with NaHCO3
oropharyngeal
candidosis
dysphonia
seldomly
irritation to cough
risk of systemic AE is , depends on dose
,efficacy and pharmacokinetic of steroid
inflammation in airways, bronchial
hyperreactivity and obstruction of airways
risk of AE (acute exacerbations)
and control symptoms of disease
ICS
beclomethasone
budesonide
fluticasone
ciclesonide – 1 times per day, minimal syst.
AE, prodrug-activation dirrectly in lungs, the
part resorbed is inactive => systemic ef. !!!
mometasone
flunisolide
dexamethasone
triamcinolone
Principles of Treatment with
ICS
1. ICS need to be administered at each new dg. AB
2. Treatment is essential to start early
3. We administer attack doses of ICS
4. Reduction of dose only after longer stabilisation
(6 months) – than minimal effective dose
5. If not sufficient low doses of ICS,
we don´t increase them, but add LABA,
possibly with methylxanthines, antileucotriens
6. High doses of ICS we try to avoid
relativelly small therapeutic benefit compared to
higher incidence of AE
ICS in the Treatment of AB –
„stable disease“
mild persistent asthma monotherapy
with small doses of ICS
( 500µg BDP/d)
addition
of LABA will not reduce the
symptoms unless they are deteriorated
pulmonary functions decrease
moderate persistent asthma if
insufficient control add LABA at
failure in the next step dose ICS (cca.
800µg BDP/d)
ICS in the Treatment of AB –
„exacerbations“
double dose of ICS at treatment of AE
isn´t effective
very high doses ICS (2000-4000µg BDP)
to 1-2 W may be effective
the best to add high dose of ICS
to regular maintenance therapy
ICS+LABA
at severe AE systemic CS
ß2- SYMPATHOMIMETICS
Mechanism of action = agonistic, activating
influence on
ß2 receptors of sympathic NS
1. Long-acting ß2SM
(long-acting betaagonists ) = LABA
Controllers – to long-term,regular bronchodilation
2. Short-acting ß2SM
(short-acting betaagonists ) = SABA
Relievers – to short-term, acute management of
exacerbation

LABA
the best, fast and intense acting b-dilatans
duration of action >12 hours
MA: Bronchodilation through β2 => relaxation of smooth
muscle
Improve mucociliar clearens
Lower vascular permeability
Modulate release of mediators from mastocytes a bazophils
Provide long-term safety against bronchoconstriction
Length of this bronchodilation effect at long-term regular
administration decreases sign of tollerance for
down regulation of β2 receptors => inhibition =
concomitant administration of ICS
LABA in long-term therapy of asthma never can administer

ICS: prevencia desenzitizácie a znižovania expresie β2 receptora
LABA
formoterol
salmeterol
Monotherapy LABA:
effectivity of LABA vs. ICS
improving sleeping, but without effect to
pulmonary functions
discontinuation ICS and adding LABA at
persistent asthma loosing control
good controlled patient with asthma with persistent
asthma at low dose ICS replacement by LABA
loosing control ( eNo and Eo in sputum)
without effect on inflam. in airways (biopsia)
LABA in the Treatment of AB Conclusion
the most effective bronchodilators at AB
effective at children and also adults
formoterol suitable also for AE (since fast
beginnig + long duration of action)
clinically without antiinflam. effect
most effectivelly in combination with ICS
formoterol can be as rescue
bronchodilator more effective than SABA at
pat. not responding to SABA !!!
at AB always prescribe together with
ICS !!!
CONTROL of AB
1.
low dose ICS
2.
if no control reached:
dose ICS costs
add LABA most effective
add low-dose methylxanthines cheapest
add LTRAs little effective, expensive
high
3. ICS+LABA = the best strategy of AB
treatment
4. 15 studies: adding LABA to ICS is more
effective than doubling of ICS dose !
Fixed combination ICS+LABA
– ADVANTAGES
compliance
costs
control of asthma
faster control of asthma
dose ICS to reach control
in 1 inhalation divice deposition of ICS and LABA at the
same place can occur molecular interaction
ICS+LABA frequency of AE more than dose of ICS
formoterol + budesonide
salmeterol + fluticasone
ANTILEUKOTRIENE DRUGS
controllers, for long-term control of symptoms
antagonists of leukotriene 1 (CysLT1) receptors
montelukast, zafirlukast, pranlukast
inhibitors of 5-lipooxygenase
zileuton
taken perorally
MA: - additive antiinflam. effect to ICS
- reduce tissue eosinophilia
- mild bronchodilation ef.
- bronchoprotective ef.
ANTILEUKOTRIENE DRUGS
role in therapy of AB - still unclear
are less effective than low doses of ICS
as additive drugs (in combination with ICS)
reduce the need of steroid dose at severe
asthma
again less effective than standard
ICS+LABA
advantageous – aspirin asthma, by
excercise induced asthma, „preschool
wheezing“
compliance at taking tablet form
METHYLXANTHINES
controllers, to long-lasting control of symptoms
Improvement of clinical symptomatology
bronchodilation - without signif. increase of FEV1/
improvement of lung function parameters through
inhibition of fosfodiesterase I. to IV. => cAMP
antiinflam., immunomodulatory effects
positive effect on phenomenon of „corticoid resist.“
AE: cephalea, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia,
palpitations, plasm. conc. (TDM) arrhytmias,
epileptic spasms even death
potential toxicity, profile of AE bronchodilators of
the third choice
METHYLXANTHINES
Proven benefit bring only drug forms providing
long-lasting action with controlled release
with
controlled release - p.o.
aminophylline,
theophylline for
using during day time always + ICS – less
effective than ICS+LABA
with
short-lasting ef. - p.o., i.v.
aminophylline,
teophylline
others: doxophylline, cilomilast (select. inhibitor of
PDE4)
SABA
basic
relievers
used ad hoc to relieve or to remove symptoms
no reason for regular administration
