title: [Effects of inhaled prostaglandin E1, salbutamol and verapamil on the bronchial reactivity in asthmatics].
abstract: After inhaling prostaglandin E1(PGE1) by 10 asthmatic patients, the FEV1 and V50rose significantly. The bronchial reactivity reduced markedly, which was not related to the improvement in the FEV1. The bronchodilatation and effect of PGE1 on bronchial reactivity were similar to those of salbutamol.
