Comparative Study[A comparative research on the conventional transbronchial needle aspiration and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration for the diagnosis of mediastinum lesions].
To compare the diagnostical yields and complication of conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) and endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for the mediastinum lesions under the same condition. ⋯ Satisfactory diagnostic yields can be obtained by either conventional TBNA or EBUS-TBNA in skilled hands.

[Methylprednisolone enhances the expression of Toll-like receptor 2 on macrophages in induced sputum from patients with chronic cough].
To explore the relationship between airway inflammation and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) expression on macrophages in induced sputum from chronic cough patients, and to observe the effect of methylprednisolone on this receptor. ⋯ The expression of TLR2 on macrophages from induced sputum in CVA, UACS, EB and GERC was decreased, but could be enhanced by methylprednisolone, suggesting that TLR2 might play a regulatory role in airway inflammatory response.
