[Effect of different therapy options on bronchial contraction in rats with modeled obstructive pulmonary disease].

In the model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, produced in rats by 60-day exposure to nitrogen dioxide, the effect of different options of combination therapy (corticosteroids, anticholinergics, adrenergic agonists) on the functional state of the bronchi was studied. The contractile activity of strips of the bronchi caused by nerve or smooth muscle stimulation was evaluated. Corticosteroid monotherapy resulted in deterioration of the functional state of the bronchial wall neuromuscular apparatus due to corticosteroid resistance, evolving under the influence of long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide. Application of M-anticholinergic tiotropium had a beneficial effect on the functional state of the bronchi smooth muscles, leading to the full restoration of the bronchial wall contractile activity and removal the morphological manifestations of inflammatory lung tissue remodeling. Most effective in terms of impact on the functional state of the bronchial wall neuromuscular apparatus was corticosteroid therapy combined with M-cholinolytik or beta2-adrenoagonist.
