摘要
1 The efficacy of a mucolytic agent, 2‐mercapto‐ethane sulphonate, administered in the form of an aerosol was evaluated in a group of eleven patients with chronic bronchitis in a controlled, double‐blind, crossover study. 2 Saline aerosol isotonic (1.21M, 7.1%) to the drug was used as a placebo. 3 Approximately 1 ml drug/placebo was inhaled by the patients twice a day for 3 days and a final dose was given on the mornings of the drug/placebo trial runs. 4 There was no improvement in this group of patients in lung function or subjective well being attributable to the drug. 5 The viscosity of sputum, dry macromolecular weight and N‐acetyl neuraminic acid/fucose ratio remained unaltered throughout the study. 6 An enhancement of tracheobronchial clearance was obtained following the administration of either placebo (31%) or drug aerosols (24%) Statistical significance (P less than 0.01) was only achieved for the placebo and was attributed to an increase in sputum volume. 1979 The British Pharmacological Society
