[Evaluation of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in the diagnosis of hilar and mediastinal tumors].
To explore the diagnostic values of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in patients with hilar and mediastinal tumors. ⋯ EBUS-TBNA is of high value as a minimally invasive, convenient, and low-risk procedure for the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy and tumors.

Meta Analysis[The role of endotracheal aspirate culture in the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia: a meta analysis].
To investigate the role of endotracheal aspirate (EA) culture in the diagnosis and antibiotic management in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). ⋯ EA culture had relatively poor sensitivity and specificity, although quantitative culture of EA only could improve the sensitivity. Initiating therapy on the basis of EA quantitative culture may still result in excessive antibiotic usage. Our data suggested that EA could provide some information for clinical decision but could not replace the role of BALF quantitative culture in VAP diagnosis.

[Non-real-time endobronchial bronchoscopy ultrasound assisted transbronchial lung biopsy in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions].
To evaluate the role of non-real-time endobronchial bronchoscopy ultrasound(EBUS) assisted transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL). ⋯ Non-real-time EBUS assisted TBLB could improve diagnostic positive rate without increasing operational risk. In most cases, the blind biopsy did not succeed if EBUS failed to detect the lesions. The success rate of non-real-time EBUS assisted TBLB was related to the minimum diameter of PPL. In terms of diagnosis rate on lesions with ≤ 30 mm minimum diameter, EBUS assisted TBLB was higher than TBLB alone. As for lesions with >30mm minimum diameter, there was no significant difference in the diagnosis rate between these 2 groups. EBUS assisted TBLB decreased the times of blind biopsy process (P < 0.05) to obtain adequate and appropriate specimen.

[Association of genetic polymorphisms of angiotensin converting enzyme and matrix metallo proteinase-1 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis].
To investigate the correlation between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and matrix metallo proteinase (MMP)-1 gene polymorphisms and the risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in a Han Chinese population from Hebei Province. ⋯ The ACE polymorphism might be associated with IPF, and the serum level of AngII was affected not only by the genetic background of ACE insertion/deletion polymorphism but also the environmental factors. The MMP-1 1G/2G polymorphism might be weakly associated with IPF.
