Abstract
It has been considered that dysfunction of ions and liquid transport in airway epithelia is a main pathogenic factor of genetic cystic fibrosis lung disease. However, the problem about how airway surface liquid transport makes cystic fibrosis lung inflamed and impaired, has been argued in researches. Starting with explaining the cellular mechanisms of airway surface liquid transport, this article reviews the pathologic and genetic characteristics of cystic fibrosis lung disease and the research progress of late years in cystic fibrosis pathogenesis. Key words: Airway; Ion transport; Cystic fibrosis
