RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical value and safety of thoracoscopic lung biopsy in the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases. Methods 35 patients with diffuse parenchymal lung disease underwent thoraco-scopic lung biopsy were reviewed in order to obtain clinical and pathological data. Results 31 cases were diagnosed by pathology, and the total positive diagnostic rate was 88.6 % (31/35), 10 cases as usual interstitial pneumonial (UIP), 6 cases as Tuberculosis, 4 cases as alveolar cell carcinoma, 3 cases as nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), 3 cases as crypto-genieorganizingpneumonia (COP), 2 cases as pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), 1 case as Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), 1 case as acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP), 1 case as lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). 3 cases (8.6 %) were occurred with postoperative complications, 2 cases as pulmonary infection combined with respiratory failure, 1 case as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with acute exacerbation, and 2 cases (5.7 %) were complicated with death. Conclusions Thoracoscopic lung biopsy is a safe and effective method which helps final di-agnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung disease.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility of extraction site preservation using injectable calcium phosphate cement (CPC) combine with poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Immediate extraction defects models were created in canine mandibles, and the defects were filled with CPC/PLGA (experimental group, E) , Bio-Oss (positive control, P), non-treatment (blank control, B) respectively. Dogs were sacrificed after 4, 8, 12 weeks post operation. Statistical analysis were conducted using SPSS 19.</p><p><b>RESULTS RESULTS</b>of radiological observation showed that there were not significantly different between groups in 4 and 8 week (P > 0.05). After 12 week,E (114.9 ± 8.4) were not significantly different compared with P (117.4 ± 12.1) (P > 0.05) , both were significantly higher than B (95.0 ± 12.6) (P < 0.05) . Histology examination showed that at 4 week following surgery, the result of newly formed bone was as follow, P[ (87.5 ± 1.5) %] > B[(78.7 ± 2.7)%] > E[(69.2 ± 1.8)%] (P < 0.05). At 8, 12 week, results of P[(94.0 ± 2.3)% and (93.5 ± 1.9) %] and E[ (94.7 ± 1.1) % and (96.0 ± 0.9) %] were better than those of B[ (76.8 ± 3.0)% and (87.0 ± 2.4)%] (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The effect of CPC/PLGA repair immediate alveolar ridge defects is the same as that of Bio-Oss, and CPC/PLGA can be used as a material in extraction site preservation.</p>
