Case Reports[Clinical characteristics of 8 cases of primary tracheal tumors].
To explore the clinical characteristics of primary tracheal tumors and therefore to improve the diagnosis and treatment. ⋯ Primary tracheal tumors occur infrequently and early clinical symptoms are unspecific. Early diagnosis can be made by chest CT and fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Benign tracheal tumors can be resected, and for some low-grade malignant tumors surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy can improve long term survival. Intervention with fiberoptic bronchoscopy to unresectable diseases can lead to symptom remission and thus improve patient's life quality.

[Airway inflammation and peripheral airway function in asthmatic patients with different control levels].
To observe the airway inflammation and peripheral airway function in asthmatic patients with different control levels, and to investigate whether the airway inflammation profile detected by induced sputum reflects the peripheral airway dysfunction. ⋯ Even in asthma patients with controlled disease, eosinophilic inflammation in the airway was still present, and the eosinophilic inflammation became more severe with the decline of control level. Bronchodilatory effect caused by DI disappeared in asthmatic patients. The inflammation profile detected by induced sputum did not reflect the dysfunction of peripheral airways.

[The effect of intrapleural pingyangmycin administration on activity of fibrinolytic system and transforming growth factor-beta1 in malignant pleural effusion].
To observe the changes of the concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1), tissue-type plasminogen activator(t-PA), transforming growth factor-beta(1)(TGF-beta(1)) in peripheral blood and pleural effusion before and after intrapleural pingyangmycin administration, and therefore to investigate the mechanism by which pingyangmycin produces pleurodesis. ⋯ Intrapleural pingyangmycin administration is a safe and effective treatment for MPE. The mechanism of pleurodesis is related to inhibiting the activity of plasminogen in the pleural cavity.
