Comparative Study[Comparison of clinical manifestations between Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex and Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary diseases].
To compare the clinical manifestations of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary diseases caused by Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium abscessus. ⋯ There was considerable overlap in clinical characteristics of MAC and Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary diseases. However, bilateral micro nodules, tree-in-bud sign and multiple bronchiectasis were more frequently seen in Mycobacterium abscessus than in MAC pulmonary diseases, while upper lobe cavities were more frequently seen in MAC than in Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary diseases.

[Correlation between the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors and EGFR mutations in advanced squamous cell lung cancer].
To investigate the frequency of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and their correlation with the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) in advanced squamous cell lung cancer. ⋯ EGFR mutation was a predictor for advanced squamous cell lung cancer to EGFR-TKI. However, the effect was inferior in advanced squamous cell lung cancer as compared to lung adenocarcinoma. Erlotinib tended to be superior to gefitinib.

[Expressions of caveolin-1 and extracellular matrix in lung tissues of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis].
To investigate the expressions of caveolin-1, collagen-I, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Smad in lung tissues of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and therefore to explore their potential roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. ⋯ The reduced expression of caveolin-1 in lung tissues of IPF may be related to the development and progress of pulmonary fibrosis.
