title: Ultrastructural changes in the epithelium in asthma associated with gastroesophageal reflux.
abstract: Asthma concomitant with gastroesophageal reflux is regarded in the context of systemic multifactorial primary degenerative process, based on discoordination of neurohormonal regulation and systemic metabolic and degenerative changes. Degeneration and atrophy of the structural components of the bronchial tree and gastric wall are the leading phenomenons determining the organ dysfunction.
