[The diagnostic utility of the Macao predictive values of impulse oscillometry for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients over 45 years old].
To investigate the clinical use of Macao predictive values of impulse oscillometry(IOS) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in patients aged over 45 years. ⋯ There are good correlations between spirometry and respiratory impendance measured by IOS in the diagnosis of COPD. The Macao predictive equations have higher sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing COPD.

[Prevalence and risk factors of latent tuberculosis infection in close contacts of tuberculosis patients among non-resident populations in Shanghai, China].
To investigate the prevalence of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI), and to identify the risk factors in close contacts of pulmonary TB patients among non-resident population in Shanghai. ⋯ The prevalence of LTBI in close contacts of pulmonary TB patients among non-resident population in Shanghai is 17.2%.Contact with patients with TB symptoms and longer duration of exposure might increase the risk of LTBI.

[The value of bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis].
To evaluate the role of bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. ⋯ EBB is a preferred approach for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis with endobronchial abnormalities, while for cases without mucosal lesions, combined TBLB, EBUS-TBNA and bronchoalveolar lavage can improve the diagnostic yield.

[Endobronchial ultrasonography with distance by thin bronchoscopy in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions].
To evaluate the efficacy, safety and factors related to diagnostic yield of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) using thin bronchoscopy to endobronchial ultrasonography with distance ( EBUS-D) for peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). ⋯ Using EBUS-D-TBB with a thin bronchoscope, the vast majority of peripheral pulmonary lesions could be identified. The modality was far more cost-effective than EBUS-GS and there were no significant complications associated with this procedure. Lesion size, connection to the visceral pleura and radial probe through the lesion influenced the diagnostic yield.

[The application of multiple breath nitrogen washout in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
We investigated ventilation inhomogeneity indices (Sacin, Scond) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using the multiple breath nitrogen washout test (MBNW) and determined the correlation between the 2 indices ( Scond and Sacin, as a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity in conductive and acinar zones of the lungs, respectively) and lung function to investigate the significance of assessing the COPD severity with ventilation inhomogeneity indices. ⋯ Sacin and Scond in COPD patients increased significantly, which was significantly correlated with lung function. COPD has ventilation inhomogeneity in conductive and acinar zones and ventilation inhomogeneity indices can be used to evaluate the severity of COPD.
