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.

[A study of the prognostic factors associated with mortality in critically ill patients with tuberculous].
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors associated with mortality in critically ill tuberculosis patients, and therefore to provide information for the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. ⋯ The high mortality of tuberculosis patients admitted to ICU was associated with fungal infection, type II respiratory failure, liver damage, and elevated APACHE II score (> 25).
