Low-radiation-dose spiral CT (LDCT) scanning is capable of detecting lung neoplasms in asymptomatic individuals. To determine whether such detection can reduce lung cancer mortality, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of LDCT scanning is necessary.
728. Constant vs auto-continuous positive airway pressure in patients with sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and a high variability in pressure requirement.
作者: André Noseda.;Chantal Kempenaers.;Myriam Kerkhofs.;Stéphanie Braun.;Paul Linkowski.;Ernest Jann.
来源: Chest. 2004年126卷1期31-7页
Auto-continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been reported to have no more efficacy than constant CPAP in unselected patients with sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). The aim of this study was to evaluate patients judged to be good candidates for auto-CPAP because of a high within-night variability in pressure requirement.
729. Efficacy of flow- vs impedance-guided autoadjustable continuous positive airway pressure: a randomized cross-over trial.

Autoadjustable continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices are increasingly used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Since different measurements of upper airway obstruction are applied, it is uncertain whether these devices are equally effective in controlling sleep-disordered breathing. Hypothesizing that differences in therapeutic efficacy were to come out, we compared the performance of the AutoSet device (ResMed; Sydney, Australia), which features autoadjustable positive airway pressure (APAP) guided by detection of flow limitation (APAPfl), with the SOMNOsmart device (Weinmann; Hamburg, Germany), which features APAP guided by the forced oscillation technique (APAPfot).
730. Effect of ozone exposure on airway responses to inhaled allergen in asthmatic subjects.
作者: Lisa L Chen.;Ira B Tager.;David B Peden.;Dorothy L Christian.;Ronald E Ferrando.;Barbara S Welch.;John R Balmes.
来源: Chest. 2004年125卷6期2328-35页
Controlled human exposure studies have produced conflicting results regarding the effect of ozone on the early bronchoconstrictor response to inhaled allergen in specifically sensitized asthmatic subjects. Spirometric parameters do not necessarily reflect the airway inflammatory effects of inhaled ozone or allergen.

来源: Chest. 2004年125卷5期1700-5页
We have previously found that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in induced sputum were increased in asthmatic patients, and that its levels were closely associated with the degree of airway obstruction and microvascular permeability. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the effects of pranlukast, a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist, on VEGF levels in induced sputum from steroid-untreated or steroid-treated asthmatic patients.
737. Leukotriene modifier vs inhaled corticosteroid in mild-to-moderate asthma: clinical and anti-inflammatory effects.
Evidence for the anti-inflammatory activity of leukotriene receptor antagonists in humans is somewhat limited. There are also no data comparing the anti-inflammatory effects of leukotriene receptor antagonists with those of inhaled corticosteroids. This study was designed to assess the clinical efficacy and anti-inflammatory effects of leukotriene receptor antagonist plus low-dose inhaled corticosteroids compared to those of a high-dose inhaled corticosteroid in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma.
