744. Spinal prostaglandin formation and pain perception following thoracotomy: a role for cyclooxygenase-2.
Prostaglandins (PGs) generated in the spinal cord may play a major role in pain perception. Consequently, the suppression of spinal cyclooxygenase (COX) and PG formation may contribute to the analgesic effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in pain following surgery. Which isoform of COX is responsible for postsurgical pain and, consequently, should be targeted, is unclear.

作者: Kenneth W Rundell.;Sandra D Anderson.;Barry A Spiering.;Daniel A Judelson.
来源: Chest. 2004年125卷3期909-15页
For the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, athletes were required to submit objective evidence of asthma or exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) for approval to inhale a beta(2)-agonist. Eucapnic voluntary hyperventilation (EVH) was recommended as a laboratory challenge that would identify airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) consistent with EIB. The objective was to compare the change in FEV(1) provoked by EVH with that provoked by exercise in cold weather athletes.

756. Methacholine challenge testing: comparison of the two American Thoracic Society-recommended methods.
作者: Catherine Wubbel.;Michael J Asmus.;Gary Stevens.;Sarah E Chesrown.;Leslie Hendeles.
来源: Chest. 2004年125卷2期453-8页
Recent American Thoracic Society guidelines recommend two different methods of methacholine challenge testing: the 2-min tidal breathing method with twofold increases in concentration, and the five-breath dosimeter method with fourfold increases. Since the tidal breathing method delivers more methacholine to the mouthpiece, we hypothesized that the provocative concentration of methacholine required to decrease FEV(1) by 20% (PC(20)) would be lower than with the dosimeter method.

Our group performed a randomized trial to assess whether the addition of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guidance will lead to better results than standard transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNS). EBUS guidance seems to be beneficial in increasing the yield of TBNA but has not been proven to be superior to conventional procedures in a randomized trial.
