John Widdicombe对呼吸生理学和咳嗽的贡献：回忆录
2013/05/04
摘要
John Widdicombe 对呼吸生理学尤其是咳嗽领域做出了卓越的贡献。他是阐述气道Aδ-髓鞘纤维具有调节咳嗽和增加呼吸作用的首批学者之一。随后，他又发起了一系列的国际伦敦咳嗽专题研讨会，在两年时间内召集了研究人员和临床医生以讨论近期有关咳嗽的研究成果和理念。从定义到潜在新型镇咳药等咳嗽的各个方面，John Widdicombe都充满了浓厚的兴趣。本文根据其三位朋友的回忆，着重描述他所作出的贡献和宽容豁达的个性。

Abstract
John Widdicombe has made substantial contributions to respiratory physiology and to the field of cough particularly. He was one of the first to characterise Aδ-myelinated fibres in the airways that could mediate cough and increased breathing. Later on, he initiated the series of international London Cough Symposia that gathered researchers and clinicians on a two-yearly basis to discuss recent results and concepts regarding cough. John Widdicombe was interested in all aspects of cough from the definition to potential new antitussives. This article will focus on his contributions and on his generous personality through reminiscences from three friends.
