[What is the danger of long-term application of beta blockers in patients with ischemic heart disease and concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?].

AIM: To show specific features of respiratory disoders in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) taking atenolol for a long time. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A long-term study of external respiration function was made in 287 patients with IHD and COPD treated with berodual and atenolol (group 1) vs 74 matched patients taking berodual only. RESULTS: Atenolol treated patients demonstrated more pronounced respiratory disorders. Small respiratory tracts were involved earlier with appearance of expiratory peripheral collapse and early expiratory closure of the respiratory tracts. Diffuse ability of the pulmonary tissue deteriorated. Conclusion. Atenolol has a negative effect on the respiratory system, so it is necessary to control external respiratory function in the course of treatment.

[Electrical impedance tomography in pulmonology].

Application of a modern method of introscopy--electroimpedance tomography (EIT) for diagnosis of different types of lung diseases is described. The EIT system including measurement and collecting data devices, 16-electrodes array and IBM PC 486 computer was used. The results of analysis of electrotomograms have demonstrated that the EIT-system can be introduced for detecting abnormal lung fluid levels, pulmonary edema, diagnosis of lung cancer, emphysema, pleuritis, hydrothorax, sarcoidosis. The method provides high sensitivity to the changes in the body physiological state. Other advantages are: safety, fast measurements, ease of equipment transportation and maintenance, low cost.

[The morphological characteristics of the alveolar macrophages in those who cleaned up the aftermath of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station at a late period (1)].

The paper presents morphological, morphometric and densitometric evidence obtained on cytoplasmic inclusions of alveolar macrophages from bronchoalveolar lavage of chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) sufferers. All of them previously worked in the zone contaminated after the Chernobyl accident. The control consisted of nonexposed to radiation COB patients. In the exposed subjects alveolar macrophages were more active, 20% of cytoplasm was occupied by numerous phagolysosomes varying in form. Their densitometric evaluation has been performed. Further bronchoalveolar lavages will be conducted to follow up the above changes in alveolar macrophages.
