“…Продолжаю щийся воспалительный процесс усиливает отечность эпителия, угнетает мукоцилиарный клиренс в дыхательных путях. В связи в этим происходит патологическое нарушение нервной и гуморальной регуляции в слизистой оболочке дыхательных путей, что приводит к изменению вязкости бронхиального секрета и снижению в нем концентрации лизоцима, белка и сульфатов [32,33].…”

Introduction. An urgent issue of modern medicine is still early diagnosis and treatment of virus-associated respiratory infections. In this context, infectious lesions of the tracheobronchial tree, associated with a high incidence and limited use of drug therapy, are of particular relevance. Analysis of individual mechanisms for the development of acute bronchitis will allow you to choose the addition of course treatment with herbal remedies with high efficiency and safety.Aim. Based on the clinical and epidemiological analysis of the incidence of acute bronchitis and the study of the pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of the disease, to determine the effectiveness of the use of herbal preparations in the course of preventive treatment.Materials and methods. An open, controlled, comparative clinical study was conducted on 63 patients with a diagnosis of acute bronchitis of viral etiology of preventive use in the complex therapy of a phytopreparation containing an extract of common ivy leaves and to evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety.Results. Analysis of the literature showed a high incidence of acute bronchitis during the outbreak of acute respiratory viral infections, the variability of the clinical course and the need to use additional methods of treatment. An early positive trend was noted in people who, in addition to standard therapy, used a phytopreparation containing an extract of ordinary ivy leaves in comparison with preparations of the amino acid derivative of cysteine relief of all symptoms already on the 5th day. The drug was easily tolerated by patients; no side effects were observed.Conclusions. Preventive use in the complex therapy of acute bronchitis, herbal preparations with mucolytic action, which facilitate sputum discharge, allows for a faster recovery.

Abstract. The present study aimed to investigate changes of T-regulatory (Treg) and T-helper (Th)17 cells as well as cytokines in peripheral blood of children with acute bronchitis, and to explore the roles of these cells in the pathogenesis of acute bronchitis. A total of 126 children who had presented at Renji Hospital (Shanghai, China) with acute bronchitis were selected as the observation group and 30 healthy children were selected as the control group. Th17/Tregs in the peripheral blood of the children of the observation group and the control group was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of cytokines interleukin (IL)-17, IL-22, IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β in peripheral blood serum were detected by ELISA. Compared with those in the control group, Treg cells, the Treg/Th17 ratio as well as serum IL-10 and TGF-β levels were significantly decreased in the observation group (P<0.05), while Th17 cells as well as serum levels of IL-17 and IL-22 were significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, Treg/Th17 and the expression of associated cytokines lost their balance in children with acute bronchitis, suggesting that Treg and Th17 cells as well as their cytokines may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute bronchitis. It may be of certain guiding significance to detect Treg/Th17 and levels of serum cytokines in peripheral blood for clinical treatment.

As a therapy for AB, TRQ has potentially beneficial effect in improving effective rates, reducing the time to resolution of fever, cough, crackles and absorption of shadows on X-ray. However, due to the limitations of methodological quality of the included trials, it is difficult to make a conclusive recommendation about TRQ treating patients with AB. Further rigorous clinical trials are warranted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TRQ.
