Yuebi Plus Banxia Decoction is derived from the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber(Jin Gui Yao Lue) by ZHANG Zhong-jing. With the effects of ventilating lung, discharging heat, descending adverse Qi, and relieving cough and asthma, this prescription is mainly used to treat pulmonary distension caused by phlegm heat obstructing the lungs. Currently, it is commonly used in clinical practice for the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, pulmonary heart disease, and pertussis.

Introduction: Respiratory ill-health in welders is well documented but without a clear indication of exposures responsible.

Methods: In a Canadian cohort study of welders and electrical workers, we collected self-reports of asthma/wheeze and rhinitis at each 6-monthly contact for up to 5 years. Physician diagnoses of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD/bronchitis) were extracted from the Alberta administrative health database (AHDB).

Childhood lung function is associated with adolescent-onset and persistent asthma.

Background: Asthma is associated with impaired lung function; however, it is uncertain if a lower childhood lung function is associated with asthma onset and persistence during adolescence. The aims of the present study were to investigate the association between childhood lung function and onset and persistence of asthma during adolescence.

Methods: In the population-based BAMSE (Sweden), PIAMA (Netherlands) and MAAS (UK) birth cohorts, we analysed the association of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV/FVC and forced expiratory volume at 75% of FVC at age 8 years with asthma onset and persistence in adolescence (age 12-16 years) using cohort-specific logistic regression analysis followed by meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Early respiratory assessments during the neonatal period can indicate future lung function and asthma risk, reflecting both prenatal lung development and limited environmental influences.
  • Factors like maternal smoking during pregnancy are linked to decreased lung function and higher asthma rates, especially in girls with specific genetic traits.
  • Despite the association between preschool lung function and later asthma development enhancing our understanding of asthma physiology, practical challenges have hindered routine lung function testing in young children for asthma prediction.

Respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and asthma, are becoming increasingly prevalent in super-aging societies. In Japan, the estimated prevalence of COPD among individuals aged 40 years and above is 8.6%, while asthma affects about 10% of adults.
