[Endometriosis of the lungs: analysis of diagnosis and therapy].

A casuistic case has been presented with endometriosis of the lung in an 18-year-old girl. Several diagnostic difficulties including haemoptysis accompanying changes in the hings and chest, suggesting a npl process. The final diagnosis has been made after the second thoracotomy and was confirmed by the histopathological examination of the lungs and pleurae. Because of the patient's age the a-GnRH therapy was not taken and the treatment with new progestin (dienogest) was administered. The 4-months therapy have appeared to be fully positive without any side effects.

[Risk factors for airway obstruction in school children with respiratory symptoms assessed in a five year prospective study].

The aim of this prospective study was to assess age-related changes of the respiratory status and to evaluate risk factors for persistent airflow obstruction in symptomatic school children. One hundred fifty children aged 7-12 years (mean age 9.5 yr.) were followed-up. In 1994 parents--administered questionnaire, skin prick tests and three dynamic spirometries in 4-6 week intervals were performed. Airways flow limitation was defined as FEV1%, MEF50 or MEF25 below minimal value. In 1999 questionnaires and spirometry were repeated by the same methods. The response rate was 74.7%. Children's respiratory status generally improved. Frequency of respiratory symptoms and obstructive disturbances (37.5% in 1994 versus 22.3% in 1999) decreased. Significant risk factors for airways flow limitation in 1999 were nocturnal dry cough, doctor diagnosed asthma, female gender and parental smoking. Advanced or persisting airway obstruction during several month in 1994 was valuable to predict lung function impairment in 1999. No relation between skin tests results and persistent airway obstruction was observed.

[Selection of bronchoscope type for removal of foreign bodies from the lower respiratory tract based on personal experience].

32 patients, in whom bronchoscopy was performed due to the removal of foreign body from the lower respiratory tract were described. Age of the patients clinical symptoms and a time lapse between aspiration and removal of foreign body from the lover respiratory tract and localization of foreign body in the particular bronchus were analysed. We conclude, that rigid bronchoscopy is still more useful and safe method of foreign body removing from the lower respiratory tract.

[A procedure for bronchial dilatation using a balloon-based technique as a method for removing post-inflammatory stenosis].

18-years old girl was admitted to hospital because of recurrent infections after pulmonary tuberculosis treated 4 year ago. Chest X-ray was near normal but during bronchoscopy--narrowing of lingula bronchi was revealed. In order to dilate the bronchi, a balloon, bronchoscopically directed, coming from a set designed for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, was applied.

[Changes of smoking habits over 10 years among II year medical students].

In 1983 and 1993 among second year medical students surveys were conducted with regard to their cigarette smoking habits. After 10 years we found decrease in smoking habit among medical students (in 1983 48% of students smoked cigarettes, in 1993 only 28% smoked cigarettes). In 1983 only 27% but in 1993 75% of the students who smoked had started smoking prior to their university studies. In 1983 69% of the students smoked fewer than 5 cigarettes a day. Today, the figure is 36%. The corresponding figures of students smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day are 4.5% and 5.6% respectively. The reasons for smoking--chiefly among women students--are stress and sociability.

[Chylopericardium and chylothorax of unknown etiology].

A case of a young man with chylopericardium followed by chylothorax was described. Performed diagnostic procedures did not reveal infectious, neoplastic or traumatic cause of chylothorax. Only partially deformed lymphatic system of the thorax was found.

Gas-liquid chromatography of free amino acids in the cytosol of mammalian atrium and ventricle of the heart.

N-Trifluoroacetyl n-butyl ester derivatives of amino acids were studied. The investigations, carried out on random slaughter-house material, were based on the results of histological and biochemical differences between the atrium and ventricle of the mammalian heart muscle. The data indicate a high level of glutamic acid, and a predominance of tyrosine in the atrium and phenylalanine in the ventricle. The results provide evidence for metabolic differences between the atrium and the ventricle of the heart. This finding may have some significance in heart muscle defects.

Gas chromatographic analysis of free amino acids in the hyaloplasm of the hypophysis, pineal gland, thyroid gland, spinal cord, thymus and lymph nodes of the cow.

Studies of the qualitative and quantitative composition of free amino acids in the hyaloplasm of the hypophysis, pineal gland, thyroid gland, spinal cord, thymus and lymph nodes of the cow are described. The following findings are reported: the highest levels of alanine, valine, glycine, isoleucine, histidine, leucine, threonine, serine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and lysine are found in the thyroid gland, methionine and aspartic acid in the spinal cord, tryptophan and hydroxyproline in the pineal gland, and proline and glutamic acid in the thymus gland. The highest level by weight is that of glutamic acid in all tissues. The presence of alpha-aminobutyric acid combined with sarcosine and 4-aminoisobutyric acid with 2-AOA and citrulline with cystine was demonstrated. alpha-Aminoisobutyric acid and isovaline were found in the spinal cord.

Gas-liquid chromatography of free amino acids in the hyaloplasm of rat cerebral, cerebellar and ocular tissues, and in skeletal and heart muscle.

The paper deals with the composition of amino acids in the hyaloplasm of cerebral tissue, cerebellum, eyeball, heart muscle and skeletal muscles. The investigations performed showed that: the most numerous groups of peaks were obtained from heart muscle (45), cerebellar tissue (43), skeletal muscle (36), eyeball (29) and cerebral tissue (25); and the highest molar levels corresponded to those of tryptophan in skeletal muscle, heart and cerebellum, proline in the heart, valine in the eyeball, and aspartic acid in the brain. Weight ratios indicated high contents of histidine, tyrosine and phenylalanine in the tissues of the skeletal muscles, the heart and cerebellum.
