    Notes: Abstract The health hazards associated with grain dust exposure have been recognized as a cause of lung diseases. In the present study, we used germ-free rats exposed to Aspergillus versicolor to elucidate the mechanism for the lung damage induced by grain dust exposure. One month after exposure to the mold, remarkable proliferation of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissues with germinal centres was induced by aspiration of mold spores. After 1 month, alveolar macrophages increased, becoming foamy macrophages by ingestion and digestion of mold spores. They expressed interleukin (IL)-1, Ia antigens and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 intensely and occasionally bound lymphocytes. Numerous lymphocytes infiltrated the granulomatous lesions which consisted of accumulated foamy macrophages and some T lymphocytes which carried IL-2 receptor. Granulomatous lesions were identified in the entire lung, especially around bronchioles. They extended from alveolar ducts to alveolar spaces for 6 months after exposure to the mold. The macrophage appears to be a key effector cell in granulomatous reactions to inhaled molds.

    A comparison of current expressions of nasal patency (1993)

    Notes: Summary Rhinomanometry is well established as a useful clinical method for objective assessment of nasal patency, although several expressions of nasal patency have been reported and universal standardization has not been achieved. In this communication, nasal resistances were calculated from the equation R = ΔP/V (R; resistance; ΔP; transnasal differential pressure; V; nasal airflow) at ΔP 100 Pa and at peak flow. Time-averaged nasal resistances and integrated nasal patencies were measured in 350 adult patients by Rhinorheograph MPR-1100 and processed by a NI-101 computer program. The values from the equation R = ΔP/V at ΔP 100 Pa were slightly lower than those from the same equation at peak flow or those from the time-averaging method. Correlations between the values of nasal resistance at peak flow and the time averaging method were very close to the line of identity. No significant correlations were demonstrated between integrated nasal patency and the values from the other three expressions. The differences of the results from these expression are discussed.
