1. Tissue hyaluronan expression, as reflected in the sputum of lung cancer patients, is an indicator of malignancy
Hyaluronan (HA) shows promise for detecting cancerous change in pleural effusion and urine. However, there is uncertainty about the localization of HA in tumor tissue and its relationship with different histological types and other components of the extracellular matrix, such as angiogenesis. We evaluated the association between HA and degree of malignanc

3. Medidas de óxido nítrico no ar exalado de pacientes com história prévia de broncoespasmo no período intra-operatório / Exhaled nitric oxide measure from patients with previous history of intraoperative bronchospasm.
INTRODUÇÃO: Pacientes com vias aéres hiperresponsivas têm uma resposta exarcebada das vias aéreas a vários estímulos. Nestes pacientes, a simples intubação é a causa mais freqüente do broncoespasmo, levando a complicações no peri-operatório. O óxido nítrico está envolvido na regulação da função fisiológica bem como em doenças das vias

4. Sputum cytology: a limited role.
AIMS: To determine the cost and sensitivity of sputum cytology in routine use and to determine when sputum cytology is most appropriate. METHODS: A retrospective study, based on all sputum cytology requests received in five histopathology/cytopathology laboratories in Yorkshire from 1 January to 31 December 1993. Cytology findings were correlated with histol

5. Survey of outpatient sputum cytology: influence of written instructions on sample quality and who benefits from investigation.
OBJECTIVES--To evaluated quality of outpatient sputum cytology and whether written instructions to patients improve sample quality and to identify variables that predict satisfactory samples. DESIGN--Prospective randomised study. SETTING--Outpatient department of a district general hospital. PATIENTS--224 patients recruited over 18 months whenever their clin

6. Sputum cytology in two cases of Wegener's granulomatosis.
Two patients with Wegener's granulomatosis are described in whom the sputum was found to contain abnormal cells, The diagnosis was suggested in the second case on cytological grounds alone. It is considered, therefore, that sputum cytology is a relevant investigation in the diagnosis of this condition.

7. The diagnosis of primary lung cancer with special reference to sputum cytology
Of 2,545 in-patients with primary lung cancer, pathological proof of the diagnosis was obtained by sputum cytology in 48%, by bronchoscopy in 32%, by biopsy from miscellaneous sites in 12%, and at thoracotomy or necropsy only in 19%. The diagnosis was made solely on clinical and radiological evidence in 8%.

12. Time and place for sputum cytology in the diagnosis of lung cancer.
Despite ready access to medical care 91% of patients dying of lung cancer derived from a population of just under 400 000 are shown to have presented too late for other than palliative treatment. As the incidence and death rates from lung cancer in the district were very similar, few survivors can be expected. Morphological confirmation of the diagnosis was
