Research progress of airway remodeling mechanism in asthma

Abstract

Abstract:

Asthma is a global respiratory disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the airway and reversible airway restriction. Typical clinical symptoms of asthma are dyspnea, cough, chest tightness, and wheezing, etc. The airway remodeling and persistent airflow restriction in asthmatic patients may occur in the early stage of the disease, and is closely related to exacerbation of symptoms and medication. Therefore, early identification intervention may become an important way to treat asthma patients. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), as a non-invasive technique, is increasingly used to examine different aspects of airway remodeling in asthma. In this paper, the diagnosis airway remodeling in asthmatics by HRCT and the mechanism of airway remodeling in recent years were reviewed.
