AIM: The effects of the glucocorticoids (GR) fluticasone and budesonide and a blocker of the adenosine receptor in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma were studied in this work. METHODS: The parameters of lung function were determined with body plethysmography. Airway resistance (Raw) was registered and measured and the intrathoracic gas volume and specific resistance (SRaw) of the airways were also calculated. RESULTS: The results of this study of patients with COPD and bronchial asthma used doxofylline as a blocker of the adenosine receptor. Doxofylline was given orally on 7 consecutive days at home with a dose of 2 × 400 mg orally. Raw and IGTV were then measured, and SRaw was calculated. The results indicated a significant decrease in the airway specific resistance (p < 0.05). On the 8th day, the same patients were given two inhalations with spray fluticasone and budesonide (budesonide, 2 inh × 2 mg; Pulmicort 2 inh × 125 mcg). After the inhalations were given, Raw and IGTV were measured after 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min, SRaw was then calculated. CONCLUSION: After the preliminary application of doxofylline, the GRs fluticasone and budesonide have a significant effect (p < 0.01) on the decrease of the airway SRaw. This effect suggests that the blocking effect of the adenosine receptor (p < 0.05) emphasizes the bronchodilation effect of GRs (p < 0.01).
