Abstract:
Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic inflammatory airway diseases. Its incidence is increasing annually worldwide, posing a heavy medical burden to society and individuals. At the same time, continuous improvement has been made in the diagnosis and treatment strategies of asthma. With the advancement of basic research and the emergence of evidence-based evidence on asthma, new drugs, updated ideas and strategies have appeared in the field of asthma treatment. This article reviewed the progress and achievements in the field of asthma treatment from 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2022, as well as several updated guidelines and consensus guidance on asthma, providing clinical perspective for the treatment of asthma.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

COPD: Management Using Bronchodilators and Corticosteroids
Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
