Several current guidelines/strategies outline a treatment approach to asthma, which primarily consider the goals of improving lung function and quality life reducing symptoms exacerbations. They suggest strategy stepping up or down treatment, depending on patient's overall asthma symptom control future risk exacerbation. While this stepwise is undeniably practical for daily practice, it does not always address underlying mechanisms heterogeneous disease. In last decade, there have been attempts improve severe such as addition long-acting antimuscarinic agent traditional inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β2-agonist introduction therapies targeting key cytokines. However, despite strategies several unmet needs in population remain, motivating research identify novel targets develop improved therapeutic and/or preventative treatments. Pending availability therapies, essential re-evaluate conventional "one-size-fits-all" more precise management. Although challenging, identifying "treatable traits" that contribute respiratory individual patients with may allow pragmatic establish personalised goals.

Bronchodilators, including long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) and beta 2 agonists (LABA), are the main treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The efficacy of triple therapy (inhaled corticosteroids/LAMA/LABA) has also been reported. However, effect on patients with mild-to-moderate COPD not yet clarified. This study aims to investigate safety therapy, compared LAMA/LABA combination lung function health-related quality life in identify baseline characteristics biomarkers predict responders non-responders therapy.This is a multicentre, prospective, open-label, randomised, parallel-group study.

To investigate the clinical efficacy of combining budesonide formoterol with tiotropium bromide for treating asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (AOCS).The data 104 patients AOCS admitted to our hospital from December 2019 2020 were assessed, randomly and divided into an experimental group (comprising 52 patients, receiving drug combination therapy) a conventional therapy alone). Patients' efficacy, function, fractioned exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), immune endothelial serum lipid peroxidation injury indexes, adverse reactions, quality life scores compared.Prior treatment, no significant differences observed in various function indicators, FeNO, indexes between two groups (P > 0.05). However, after all observation both improved different levels, -demonstrating -significantly superior improvement, compared < We also that reactions significantly lower than 0.05).The asthma-COPD may improve status encourage recovery injury; therefore, this deserve widespread adoption application.
