摘要
目的:吸入糖皮质激素(ICS)和长效β激动剂(LABA)的联合治疗是哮喘患者的标准治疗方法,哮喘控制后推荐降阶梯治疗。然而,很少有资料评估降阶梯治疗后的长期效果。
目标:对此前使用ICS (250 µg 丙酸氟替卡松)/LABA (50 µg 沙美特罗) 联合用药 (SFC, two puffs per day)得到良好控制的哮喘患者,进行ICS/LABA或单独使用ICS降阶梯治疗之后的长期效果的比较。
患者及方法:我们随机将40个用SFC (250 µg)治疗得到良好控制的哮喘患者分成两组;一组患者接受降阶梯治疗与低剂量的SFC(100µg,两喷日1次),另一组接受高剂量的丙酸氟替卡松(FP)单独降阶梯治疗(500µg,每日1次)。分别对两组在哮喘控制测试评分、呼吸功能(1秒钟用力呼气容积、肺活量50%时的最大呼气流速 [ % FEF50 ],和肺活量在25%时的最大呼气流量 [% FEF25] )和部分呼出一氧化氮的浓度的变化进行长达12个月监测。
结果:SFC和FP组的脱落率没有显著差异。低剂量的SFC治疗可在12个月内维持各项参数的稳定。然而,FP组显示停用沙美特罗后,1秒钟用力呼气量在2个月内可快速下降5%,并且,10个月之后,%FEF50 和%FEF25逐步下降。
结论:这项研究表明,一个平衡的降阶梯治疗方案,包括同时使用ICS和LABA,对有轻度至中度哮喘且良好控制的患者的长期稳定必不可少。

Abstract
PURPOSE:A combination therapy with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and a long-acting β agonist (LABA) is the standard treatment for asthmatic patients, and step-down treatment is recommended once control has been achieved. However, little data exist that evaluate the long-term outcomes after step-down treatment.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the long-term outcomes of step-down therapy with ICS/LABA or ICS alone for asthmatic patients who have achieved well-controlled asthma by the ICS (250 µg fluticasone)/LABA (50 µg salmeterol) combination (SFC, two puffs per day).
PATIENTS AND METHODS:We randomized 40 well-controlled patients with asthma receiving SFC (250 µg) to two groups; one group of patients received step-down therapy with low-dose SFC (100 µg, two puffs daily) and another group of patients received step-down therapy with high-dose fluticasone propionate (FP) alone (500 µg, daily). The two groups were monitored over 12 months for changes in asthma control test scores, respiratory function (percent forced expiratory volume in 1 second, maximal expiratory flow rate at 50% of the vital capacity [%FEF50], and maximal expiratory flow rate at 25% of the vital capacity [%FEF25]), and the concentration of fractional exhaled nitric oxide.
RESULTS:There was no significant difference in the dropout rate between the SFC and FP groups. Low-dose SFC maintained the stability of all parameters over 12 months, whereas the FP group exhibited a rapid 5% decrease in forced expiratory volume in 1 second within 2 months after discontinuation of salmeterol; furthermore, after 10 months, there was a gradual decrease in %FEF50 and %FEF25.
CONCLUSION:This study suggests that a balanced step-down protocol, including both ICS and LABA, is essential in providing long-term stability to patients with mild-to-moderate well-controlled asthma.
