765. Effect of guaifenesin on cough reflex sensitivity.
Guaifenesin, a commonly used agent for the treatment of cough, is termed an expectorant since it is believed to alleviate cough discomfort by increasing sputum volume and decreasing its viscosity, thereby promoting effective cough. Despite its common usage, relatively few studies, yielding contrasting results, have been performed to investigate the action and efficacy of guaifenesin.
766. Initial experience on rifampin and pyrazinamide vs isoniazid in the treatment of latent tuberculosis infection among patients with silicosis in Hong Kong.

To compare the adverse effects and treatment adherence between 2 months of rifampin plus pyrazinamide (2RZ) and 6 months of isoniazid (6H).
767. Improvement in resting inspiratory capacity and hyperinflation with tiotropium in COPD patients with increased static lung volumes.
In patients with COPD, changes in inspiratory capacity (IC) have shown a higher correlation to patient-focused outcomes, such as dyspnea with exercise, than other standard spirometric measurements. Changes in IC reflect changes in hyperinflation. Tiotropium is a once-daily inhaled anticholinergic that has its effect through prolonged M3 muscarinic receptor antagonism and has demonstrated sustained improvements in spirometric and health outcomes. We sought to evaluate changes in resting IC and lung volumes after long-term administration of tiotropium.
768. A role for anabolic steroids in the rehabilitation of patients with COPD? A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial.
作者: Eva C Creutzberg.;Emiel F M Wouters.;Rob Mostert.;Rob J Pluymers.;Annemie M W J Schols.
来源: Chest. 2003年124卷5期1733-42页
Skeletal muscle weakness commonly occurs in patients with COPD. Long-term use of systemic glucocorticosteroids further contributes to muscle weakness. Anabolic steroids could be an additional mode of intervention to improve outcome of pulmonary rehabilitation by increasing physiologic functioning, possibly mediated by increasing erythropoietic function.

The balance between proteases and antiproteases plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of emphysema. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the balance of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in patients with emphysema.

To assess the consequences of nitrate withdrawal in angina-free and hemodynamically stable coronary patients.
771. Inhaled fluticasone propionate by diskus in the treatment of asthma: a comparison of the efficacy of the same nominal dose given either once or twice a day.
In September 2000, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Flovent Diskus (FD) [fluticasone propionate; GlaxoSmithKline; Research Triangle Park, NC], which is an orally inhaled, dry-powder corticosteroid, for the maintenance treatment of asthma at dosages of 50 to 1,000 microg administered twice-daily. Once-daily dosage regimens did not receive approval. This article will detail six clinical trials, five of which incorporated comparative once-daily and twice-daily treatment arms of the same nominal dose of FD.
772. Reduction in ventilatory response to CO2 with relaxation feedback during CO2 rebreathing for ventilator patients.
Previous studies have shown that relaxation biofeedback reduced the amount of time spent receiving ventilation for difficult-to-wean patients.
773. Comparison of specific expiratory, inspiratory, and combined muscle training programs in COPD.
作者: Paltiel Weiner.;Rasmi Magadle.;Marinella Beckerman.;Margalit Weiner.;Noa Berar-Yanay.
来源: Chest. 2003年124卷4期1357-64页
Respiratory muscle weakness may contribute to dyspnea and exercise limitation in patients with significant COPD. In an attempt to reduce the severity of breathlessness and to improve exercise tolerance, inspiratory muscle training has been applied in many COPD patients. On the other hand, there is a paucity of data related to expiratory muscle performance and training in COPD.

作者: Horst Olschewski.;Beate Rohde.;Jürgen Behr.;Ralph Ewert.;Tobias Gessler.;H Ardeschir Ghofrani.;Thomas Schmehl.
来源: Chest. 2003年124卷4期1294-304页
Inhalation of iloprost, a stable prostacyclin analog, is an effective therapy for pulmonary hypertension with few side effects. This approach may, however, be handicapped by limitations of currently available nebulization devices. We assessed whether the physical characterization of a device is sufficient to predict drug deposition and pharmacologic effects.
