[High resolution computed tomography in the diagnosis of lung disease in a 13-year-old boy].

The paper describes a case of a 13-year-old boy, who clinically manifested symptoms of respiratory failure. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was used in diagnosis. It allows evaluate injury of the respiratory system in all parts of the lungs and bronchid tree. There was correlation between HRCT and bronchoscopy, spirometry and bronchography. We conclude that HRCT was a very effective and safe diagnostic method in the presented case.

Effect of neuroleptics on phospholipase A2 activity in the brain of rats.

The effect of neuroleptics on phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity in rat brain plasma membranes was studied. Chlorpromazine (10 mg/kg), fluphenazine (5 mg/kg), thioridazine (5 mg/kg), trifluoperazine (5 mg/kg), haloperidol (2 mg/kg), and sulpiride (100 mg/kg) were administered to rats intraperitoneally as a single dose or long-term treatment (4 weeks). The PLA2 activity was determined 24, 48, and 72 h after the last injection of a drug. The enzyme activity was decreased after a single or 4-week administration of chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, haloperidol, and sulpiride. Fluphenazine and thioridazine caused an increase of PLA2 activity in rat brain both after a single dose and long-term administration. For the first time it was shown that neuroleptics cannot only inhibit but also increase, PLA2 activity. Elucidation of this fact requires further studies.

[Effect of air pollution and socioeconomic conditions on the incidence of chronic and recurrent respiratory infections in school children].

Basing on information from questionnaires distributed to 4007 children of an age range from 5 to 15 years living in regions of different air pollution an analysis of incidence of upper airway diseases and socio-economic conditions of their families was carried out. The authors conclude that air pollution effects incidence of respiratory diseases. Children from highly polluted regions (Zabrze, Zdzieszowice) have higher incidence of respiratory infections than children from less polluted regions. Socio-economic factors also have an effect on incidence of respiratory infections in children. Children from well situated families have lower incidence indexes. Boys develop respiratory disorders more frequently than girls.
