[Cell profiles of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid as prognostic indicators of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis].
To determine whether clinical and physiologic variables and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cell profiles affect the survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). ⋯ The IPF patients were predominantly old males and presented with restrictive ventilatory disorders and gas exchange impairment. Glucocorticoids and/or cytotoxic drugs could not improve the prognosis for the IPF patients. DLCO and BALF neutrophil percentage were prognostic variables, and DLCO was negatively correlated with the prognosis while the neutrophil percentage was positively correlated with the prognosis in the IPF patients.

Controlled Clinical Trial[Relationships between the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in lung tissues of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
To evaluate the correlation between the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in lung tissues of patients with COPD. ⋯ There was a significant correlation between over-expression of ICAM-1 and TIMP-land MMP-9 in lung tissues from COPD patients. Over-expressions of ICAM-1 in the lung may result in accumulation of inflammatory cells releasing certain inflammatory factors that could destroy the normal lung structure. In addition, highly expressed TIMP-1 and MMP-9 in lung tissues may also contribute to the destruction and reconstitution of the bronchial or/and alveolar wall, which is likely to play a major role in airway obstruction.

[The effects of auto-triggering on patient-ventilator interaction in noninvasive mechanical ventilation during air leak].
To study the relationship between air leak and auto-triggering in noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), and the effects of auto-triggering on patient-ventilators interaction. ⋯ Auto-triggering occurred when air leak increased in NIPPV. The insufficient compensation of flow base line may be the cause for auto-triggering. Auto-triggering can impair patients ventilation.

[Anterior radical debridement and bone grafting with one-stage instrumentation anteriorly or posteriorly for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar spinal tuberculosis].
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of anterior radical debridement and autologous ilium or titanium cage interbody autografting with one-stage instrumentation anteriorly or posteriorly for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar tuberculosis. ⋯ The method of anterior radical debridement and interbody grafting with one-stage instrumentation anteriorly or posteriorly was effective for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar spinal tuberculosis.

[A high-resolution CT and pathological study of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia].
To describe the characteristics of high-resolution CT(HRCT) findings of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and the correlation with pathological changes. ⋯ The HRCT manifestations of NSIP are characteristic though not specific. In patients with consistent clinical features, the diagnosis of NSIP can be suspected by typical HRCT findings.
