Some studies have demonstrated that basement membrane thickening and destruction of the bronchial epithelium are also found in COPD. The aim of the study was to compare the basement membrane thickness (BMT) and epithelial damage in biopsy specimens from patients with asthma and COPD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was performed in 20 subjects with asthma and 12 subjects with COPD, who had not been treated with corticosteroids for at least 3 months before study enrollment. Subjects' characteristics were based on the results of clinical assessment, allergic skin-prick tests, lung function testing, and methacholine bronchial challenge. All subjects underwent bronchoscopy with forceps biopsies of bronchial mucosa. Light-microscope and semi-automatic software were used to measure BMT in hematoxylin-eosin stained sections. Total (denudation) and partial epithelial damage were assessed independently by 2 pathologists.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean BMT in subjects with asthma was 12.54 \u00b1 2.8 \u03bcm, and only 7.81 \u00b1 2.0 \u03bcm in COPD patients (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001).
