Although most T cells express the at3 T-cell antioen receptor
(TCR), there is a small population of peripheral T cells bearinq
the 16 TCR. Recently, increased attention has focused on the
role of y6 T cells in the i m n e response to Ptycobacterium (M.)
tuberculosis. However, little information was available on the
y6 T cells in patients with mycobacterial infections. The
,,ieserrt study was designed to evaluate the l=cz:s of r i T cells
in patients with M. tuberculosis and in patients with M. aviumintracellularle complex (MAC). Peripheral blood samples were
obtained from patients with pulmonary infections caused by M.
tuberculosis or MAC, before and/or during chemotherapy using
two or more drugs. Control subjects were either free of disease
or suffered from mild hypertension with or without old tuberculous lesions. Blocd y 6 T cells were measured by the immunofluorescence assay. Briefly, 100 ul of blood.sampies were incubated
with 20 u1 of phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-CD3 and 5 p1 of
fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-TCR61 (specific for a
6 chain framework determinant and representing a pan-TCRy6
marker) at 4'C
for 30 min. After treating with NH4C1 to cause
hemolysis, the blood samples were analyzed by flow cytometry.
The results showed that both untreated patients with MAC and M.
tuberculosis had significantly increased levels of y6 T cells as
compared to patients with drug-resistant MAC or M. tuberculosis,
and control subjects with or without old tuberculous lesions.
There was no difference in the levels of y6 T cells between
patients with druq-resistant U C / M . tuberculosis and control
subjects. In conclusion, the present study suggests that the
enhanced levels of y6 T cells could be related to T-cell
activation by mycobacteria-ligands during the early phase nf
mycobacterial pulmonary infections.

alveolar macrophages is the stimubtion of receptors for the chemotactic peptide Nformylmethimh-Leu-Phe IFMLP). which is wxanpanied by an increase of nachidonic
acid rslsass, superoxide afum production and phagocvtic activity. In membranes from
myeloid differentiated human leukemia cells IHL 601, the coupling' of the FMLP receptor
to pertussis and choleratoxin-sensitive heterotrimeric Idly1 regulatory guanina
nucleotids binding proteins IG-proteins) is well characterized IGiwschik et al. J Bid
Chsm 264, 21470. 1989). Althwgh the knowledge of the- signal transduction
processes is of great pathophysidogical importance, date on h u M n alveolar
macrophages are sparse. The aim of this experimental study was t o characterize the
coupling of the receptors for the chemcdnractant FMLP t o G-proteina in human akvdar
macrophagas.
Human alveolar macrophages were obtained by routine bronchotllveolar
lavage in 8 patients. Only cell w s p e n s i w with a c o m M of mwophsges of greeter
than 95 % have been used. FMLPseceptors were characterized with BH-FMLP. FMLPmediated G-protein stimulation was studied with agonist facilitated 3sS-GTF'ySbinding.
G-proteins were characterized and covalently modified (ADP-ribosylated) with penussir
toxin IGil using NAD or "P-NAD as substrates.

reduced by 1 p-noln G T W . Scatchard analysis of G T W competition f u '5s-GTW
binding revealed a density of 21 pnollmg protein of binding sites. FMLP stimulated
binding of 3sS.GTPyS in the presence of GDP but not GTWs by a lector of 2.5.
Stimulation of 3%-GTPyS hnding by FMLP was critically depending on MgCll and was
reduced by about 70 % following treatment of t t membranes

membranes.
SummanIn human alveolar macrophagas. FMLPseceptors are
CWW
to wrtuss~stoxin-ssnsitive G-protein *subunits, which are most likely identical
t o the penuuis toxin substrates in HL 60 cells and human myocardium and t h e f o r e ,
of the G,e and hsubtype. The Mgz* and GDPdependent GTPyS W n g to Gproteins following agonist stimulation might become a valuable t o d to study receptor-Gprotein i n t e r a c t i w and to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms in human alveolar
macrophagas.

stain~ngby an irnmunohistochcmical procedure. We measured pretreatment CAI9
- 9 and CEA in serum of 40 patients (31M. 9F. age range 44
- 82. mean
6 4 ~ s wlth
)
Of the 40 patients. 35 patients
(88%) were classified as more than clinical stage II. The histopathological types of
lung cancer confirmed cytologically or histologically.
the tumors grouped according to the WHO classification, comprised 24. 8. 2 and 6
cases of admocaranomk squamous a U large all and small cell carcimmas respectively.
Serum levels of CAI9 - 9 and CEA were abnormally elevated in 25% and 50% of
patlmts respect~veiy.CAI9- 9 was significantly higher i n patients with adenocarcinoma
than In patients with other histological t w ( P < 0.05).The levels of CAI9 - 9 were
not mrrelated with ones of CEA In 16 patients with ademcarcinoma obtained histological
grading, the positive rate of serum CAI9 - 9 for well defferentiated was 67% : for
moderately dlfferentiated. 29% : and for poorly differentiated a d e n m i n o m a . 33%.
The labeled av~din- biotin (LAB) method was utilized for detection of tissue CAI9
-9
In adenocarcinoma cases. Conseguently, the all elevated cases of serum CAI9 -
9 showed positive staining of tissue CA19- 9. The results suggest that CAI9 - 9 may
be useful i n identifying the presence of lung cancer, especially adenaarcinoma.

A.E. Fraire, S.D. Greenbe% HJ. Spjut. J. Carhvright. Jr.. V.L Roggli. R. Dodson and
G. Williams. From University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Worcester. MA; Baylor
College of Medicine. Houston. TX; Duke University Medical Center, Durham NC; and
University of Texas Health Center. Tyler. TX. USA.
Experimentally induced pleural mesothelioma developed in 3 (12.05%) of 25
Fischer 344 rats. following intrapleural inoculation with a single 20 mg dose of (JM-100)
fiberglass. The mesotheliomas developed in rats killed at 102. 408 and 416 days after
inoculation. Although fibergl:tu-induced mesotheliomas have been previously reported,
the histopathologic diagnosis >asoften made by one individual alone. and at times
graphic illustrations provided in such reports showed bland cellular proliferations. not
mnvincing for mesothelioma. In this study. the diagnosis of mesothelioma was validated
by a panel of 3 pathologists (HJS. SDG & AEF) and only eases diagnoxd by majority
(213) or unanimity (313) opinion were ampted as mesotheliomas. One of the 3
mesotheliomh w a diqn~nedby mujority opinion and two by unanimity opinion.
However. In the c a x which \+asdiagnosed by majority opinion. the third (dissenting)
pathologtsl also suspecled the dtagnos~sof (fibrous) mewthelioma but chox not to call
it a mes&helioma. Of the two cases diagnosed by unanimity opinion, one was mixed
(fibrous and epithelial), and the other epithelial. H o m e r , in the mixed ease, one
p;rthologist dissented in regaru, to cell type and chose to designate this mcsothelioma as
fibrous, rather than mixed. It was only in the case of the epithelial merothelioma that
true unanimity including cell type was achieved by the 3 reviewing pathologists. The
mesotheliomas were accompanied by microscopic mesothelial hyperplasia and dysplasia
in 213 and 313 instances, respectively, however, only one mesothelioma was suspected
from the gross examination cf the thoracic organs I n this ease, a rat with an epithelial
mesothelioma, g r w tan yellt~.inodules up to 1.1 c m were found on the diaphragmatic
surface. as well as on the pleural surface of the lung and the inner surface of the rib
cage. The epithelial tumor. cunsisting of a papillary malignancy. war made up of periodic
acid Schiff Positive. Mucicarmine Negative cuboidal cells. Thin papillary epithelial
mesothelioma was characterized ultnstmcturally and by flow cyromctry. Electron
microscopy showed numerous surface microvilli and well formed junctional complexes.
Flow cytometric analysis showed an aneuploid cell population, with a DNA index of 205,
a high (8.5%) S phase population and a G,M population of 83%. The diagnosis of
mesothelioma in man is diffie~ltand the findings presented herein suggest that the
diagnosis of experimentally induced merotheliomar may be just as dimcult. Validation of
diagnosis by panels of 3 or mure pathologists may help to establish the true frequency of
mesothelioma in some experimental models. Moreover, confinnation of diagnosis by
immunohistochemical. ultrastructural or flow cytometric studies may be required in some
c;lses. Supported in part by Baylor Grdnt #BRSGSZO-G16261.

Major histocompatibility complex (IRiC) antigens and
adhesion molecules such as the intercellular adhesion
molecule-1 (ICAII-1) appear to play an important role in the
immunological recognition and destruction of tumor cells.
It has been shown, that in some tumors the expression of
these antigens correlates with clinicopathological
oarantars and is of ~ r m t i sianificance.
c
W. therefore
bxamined the expressibn &ttmrns oI these proteins on
primary tumors (45 adenocarcinomas, 37 squamous cell
carcinomas, 6 adenosquamous carcinomas, 3 large cell
carcinomas) of 91 patients with operable non-small cell
luno cancer (NSCLCI at TIRI-staae HA.
~ppiying i&nohisfochemistry
;ithvwnoclonal antibody
(m&b) W6/32 against a c o w n framework determinant of WHC
class I antigins revealed a deficient expression in 32.98
of the cases analysed, whila nao-expression of either UHC
class I1 antigens (mAb TAL.lB5) or ICM-1 (mAb PA3.58-14)
was observed on 26.48 or 29.78 of tumors, respectively.
Analysis of consecutive t w r specimens indicated that IRiC
antigens and ICAII-1 w r e frequently cwxpressed on the same
tumor (pc0.01). With regard to cliniocopathological risk
factors. we could dewnstrate a referential ex~ressionof
those markers in patiants with l & a l l y restrictid and welldifferentiated t w r s or no lymph node metastases, which
was more pronounced in.adenocarcinomas than in squamous
cell carcinomas. Nevertheless, none of the analysed markers
correlated with the rate of early tumor recurrence or
overall survival following a maximal observation period of
27 months (median: 14 ws.). In conclusion, the coordinated expression of i.slunologically relevant cell
surface wlecules on primary NSCLC is a frequent event that
correlates with distinct parameters of favourable
prognosis. Hwever, we failod to provide evidence that the
i n u n e response facilated by these wlecules can
effectively influence the clinical course of the disease.

It is known that CD28 peripheral T cell are a counter population of C D l l b
pripheral T cells namely. C m ' peripheral T cells dces not express C D l l b on their
surfaces. In adult w r ~ p h e r a l blood, approx~mately 95% of C W ' T cells and
approximately 50% of CDE' T cells were reported to express CD28 on their surfaces.
Approximately 1 - 5% of CD4' T cells and 59% CDE T cells show C D l l b ' CD28
surface phenotype. The natural ligand for CD2E is 87/BB1 which is known as B cell
activation antigen. Recent studies revealed that CD28 might be arwxiated with the
maturation of T cells or the interaction of T cells with antigen presenting e l l s (APC).
It has been reported that the population of lymphocytes in BALF from patients with
pulmonary vlrcoidosis were elevated. and most of the lymphocytes expressed CD4 on
their surfaces. In this study. the surface phenotype of CD4' lymphocytes in BALF from
patients with pulmonary sarcoidasis were analyzed. CD4' lymphocytes. which were
approumately 30 - 80% of the lymphocytes in the BALF from patients with pulmonary
sarcoidosis, expressed CD3
on their surfaces. These C W . CD3
lymphocytes
expressed CD28 -', but did not expressed CDl l b on their surfaces The expression

To evaluate the feasibility of phyaiologie low stress angioplasty
(PMSA).30 patients (pta) underwent thermal angioplasty at 60%
Heating WM A e v e d t&ough the application of d ~ f i q u e & y energy
to a modif14 noneompliant eonventiollal amiodasty balloon. Twenty
seven pta had de noio leeionr and 3 hadreitendtic lesions. ~ e a n
maximum 7

Mean beatmg time was 151 f 78 seconds. P M S A was sucoesnful in
24/30 pta. A mean initial s t e n d of 78.6 f 9.84 % was reduced to 21.93 f
10 (p.cO.001). In 2 canem, P
W limited to 5 A T M was inadequate to
dilate the lesion and w v e n t i o d P r C A wlu used. D i d o n occured
in 2 ptr and required prolonged conventional balloon inflation,
thromboois and subacute ocdusion each oecured in 1 pt. Twenty-four
hour poat-PLOSA angiograma performed in 11 pts did not l o w any
elPstie recoil ; initial and 24 hour residual stenoms were rerpectively
24.64 f 10.87 % and 29.72 f 12 % (~-0.6). Angiographie follow-upis
available in U1/30 pta. Reatenoah (dehned as a 60% luminal diameter
reduction) occured in 12/20 pts. Samples of atheroma removed by
athemdomy in 1 reatenotie pt did not & o w any thermal domage.
Thh initial experience demonstrates the feasibility and safety of
ar@iophty with PU)SA at 600C in human foronary arteries. There is
no elastic recoil at 24 houra. However, further studies with long tenn
follow-upam needed to estabbh whether the restends rate is reduced

Out of a total of 701 consecutive wtients treated bv
coronary angioplasty ( P T U ) in the course'of 18 months at thi
Cardiology Division Graz Univeraity Clinic, 16 subjects (2.39;
14 males, 2 females, mean age: 66 years) were refused by
surgeons due to diffuse nultivessel disease and severely
depressed left ventricular function (ejection fraction <40%).
All of these showed unstable angina (one having been treated
by aortic balloon counterpulsation), 12 out of them had
dyskineaia of the left ventricle and 4 showed left main
involvement (6 left main-equivalents). In total, 27 culprit
lesions ( I A D 11, CX 7, RCA 7, bypass ves8els 2) ware treated,
but only in tvo cases FTCA was unsuccessful. During PTCA no
complications (i.e. death, myocardial infarction, ventricular
fibrillation) occurred, one patient died two days following
procedure due to cardiqenic shock. During follow-up (ranger
8
20 months) one further patient died due to nyocardial
infarction 6 months after PTCA, but 12 improved substantially
without any cardiac event (i.e. death, myocardial infarction,
re-PTCA), 8 of them were without angina. In 4 patients reangiogram due to silent ischemia showed patent dilated
vessels; 2 patients were lost in follow-up. Thus, P T U
represents a 8afe and effective therapy with improved outcome
for patients with severe coronary artery disease that had been
refused bypass surgery.

The lesion oriented approach has become possible due to the
development of new technologies. However, there is only limited
clinical experience with most of new devices and only few
comparative studies with standard angioplasty have been done. We
analyzed our experience using standard angioplasty (A) and the
following technologies: stenting (S), rotablator (R), directional
atherectomy (DCA). excimer laser angioplasty (L) and transluminal
extraction (TEC). The lesion morphology, the success and
complication rates were as follows:

The cumulative rates of major complications with laser (16%) were
ten times higher than with angioplasty (I,&). The incidence of a
non-occlusive dissection and the need for urgent angioplasty were
highest with laser (44%), followed by rotablator (17%)- and stent
(3.4%). However, the most complex kdons were done by laser and
rotablator, and 12% of the stent pts would have previously been
referred for urgent CABG. In conclusion, a large percantage of
complex coronary lesions can be treated with new technologks. The
overall results are better than historically reported by standard
angioplasty, when dealing with lesion type 82 and C. The rotablator
and stenting in our opinion give the best immediate results.

CHEWITH HIGH DOSE CARBOetATlN (CBDCA) FOR UNRESECTABLE
NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER

Atomic Bomb Survivors Hospital. Hiroshima. Japan
A high dose of carboplatin (CBDCA) was administered to unresectable
non-small cell lung cancer patients. Of the 35 patients given more than
two courses of CBDCA a t SOOmg/d each, w r t i a l responses (PR) were attained
in 10 cases and complete responses (CR) were in I case, of whom were
patients with sguamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Although a maximum
of 18 courses were administered, none of the s u b i e c t s experienced any
serious clinical side e f f e c t s nor required hydration, and the d r u g could
thus be given on an outpatient clinic The molt commonly h r v s d hemtolwical
side effect was platelet reduction, and platelet nadir war in proportion
to indivisual AUC of CBDCA. As a result of this chemotherapy, we obtained
t h e following actual survival curve. without harm their QOL.

THE ANTIEMETIC EFFECT OF ONDANSETRON /ZOFRAN/
IN CYTOSTATIC THERAPY
Imre Tall6sy
"Budai" Hospital of Hungarian State Railways, Budapest,Hungary
The most irritating side effect of cytostatic therapies is
the drug induced nausea and vmitinq.
The antiemetic effect of ondansetron Itofran/ was administered
during and d t e r cytostatic treatment of 30 patients I12 females and 18 males, mean age: 62 years (27-71)/.
Distribution of diagnoses: lung carcfioma / 25 cases/, breast
carcinoaa/2 cases/, urogenital carcinoma/2 cases/, metastasis
lone casql. Protocols: 48 CAP ldty 1:cyclophosphamidq
500 mg/m , epiadriamycin 60 mglm , cisplatin 40 yg/m /,15 VAC/
day 1:vincristinf 1 mg/m2, epiadriamycin 6 0 mgim , cyclophosphamide 500 mglm I, 14 VIP Ietoposide 100 mg/m , day 1.3.5
ifosphamide 1.000 mg/m2, days 1-5, cisplatin 40 mg/m2day 11
other 49.
Before and during the first 1-2 days of the cytostatic treatment patients were also given ondansetron in a dose of 8 to
48 mg, either intravenous, or orally.
The antiemetic effect was evaluated according to the scoring
system of WHO.That is 0:81%, 1:129, 2:5%, 3:2%-

In 21 treatments the antiemetic effect of the drug was compared to formerly administered antiemetics. In self control
73 9 of the patients have found ondansetron to be superior to
the combination of dexamethason+metoclopamide.
Side effect rttributable to ondansetron was observed at alll

In the staging of patients with a anall-cell lung cancer, an important
role is reserved to the research of bone marrow metastasis for a correct
therapeutic programmatian.
From arch 1986 up to December 1991 we have submitted to marrow biopsy
40 patients with S.C.L.C., aging less than 70 ?ears. The diagnostic protocol was: cito-histologic specimen by bronchoscopy or other invasive
diagnostic procedures, accurate staging by T.C. "total body". enrrow and
bone ecintigraphy, marrow biopsy and liver ecography.
Eighty bone marrow biopsies ware performed in 40 patients and 22 were
positive (13140 patients 32.5%). Bilateral examination was indispensable
for a correct diagnosis.
Diffuse disease was diagnosed in 14 patients (35%). in 13 by bone marrow
biopsy and only in LO patients by all the others diagnostic methods.
Harrow biopsy has given very important results for the staging with
a sensibility of 92.8% and a specificity of 100% with a consequence
diagnostic accuracy of 96%.
Significative is the correlation awng survival and biopsy's positivity
and much m r e the correlation among survival and biopsy result in posttherapeutic staging.
We can affirm the utility of the bone narrow biopsy as a basic examination in first staging of S.C.L.C. and in the post-treatwnt follorup,
even more when no other .etastatic sites have been found.

From June 1976 to December 1991. 44 cases of small cell lung
cancer were treated surgically in Tokyo Medical College
Hospltal. There were 39 male and 5 female patients. Age
dlstrlbutlon was 39 to 73 years old and mean was 61.5 years
old. A total of 11 patlents were in pathological stage 1. 5
in stage 2. 15 in stage 3A. 7 In stage 38 and 4 In stage 4 .
Tumor had completely disappeared In 2 patients due to
preoperative therapy. Pathological subtype was oat cell
carclnoma in 10, Intermediate cell type in 26 and combined
type In 8. Tumor locatlon was central in only 3 whereas
perlphoral In 41. Lobectomy was performed in 26 patients.
Pneumonectomy was in 16 and tumorectomy in 2. Preoperative
therapy was performed in 15 patlents. Chemotherapy alone was
performed in 7. radiotherapy alone in 2 and both in 6. The
tumor slzes were decreased in all cases and therapeutic
effect was observed in the pathological flndings in 14
patients. Down staging was succeeded In 3. In 2 of them
tumor was completely disappeared.
One year survival rate of the total patients was 64.6%.
3-year survival rate was 40.3% and 5-year survlval rate was
32.19. Flve-year survival rate of stage 1 patients was
80.0%. That of stage 2 was 40.0% and stage 3A was 11.1%.
There was no survivor over 4 years in stage 3 8 or 4
patlents. Over 5 year survivors were 7. Among them 4 were in
stage 1 and 1 showed complete response to preoperative
therapy. After 1986 when CODP was used for small cell
carcinoma, early period death after Operation was decreased.
Long survlval was expected in stage 1 small cell lung
cancer or in patlents whose preoperative therapy succeeded
in down staging. Progress of chemotherapy will lead
extention of tho Indication of surgery for small cell lung
cancer.

Hospital Nijmegen St. Radboud, Nijlnegen.The Netherlands.
Many patients with lungcancer are inoperable.Why patients are treated with radiotherapy and
how these decisions are made, is not clar. The opinion of pulmonologiw seems different
from that of radiotherapists. To get more insight we made an inquiry under the du(ch
pulmonologists and radiotherapists.Questions asked were: how takes the consultation plsctq
who brings the patient in for consultation?;how long is the interval between (he decision to
treat and the actual stan of the treatment?;who takes care of the patient during and aAa the
radiohpy?; and who is satisfied with the actual way of consultation?. Of the 276
pulmonologists to whom was send the questionnaire, 166 (60%)responded and of the 107
radiothrapira 70 (65%) responded. The consullatio~iis institutionalized in 70% P (P=
according to the pulmonologists) and in 84.5% R (R= according to the radiotherapists),
mostly per institution 58% P and 68% R. Not all patients with lungcancer (1 1 % P and 25%
R) are brought in, but only who are candidate for radiotherapy according to the
pulmonolog~sts70% P and 54% R Dunng the tratnient the ndlMherapsts alone taka care
of the ~at~urt:
51% P and 78% R but after the treatnmt both Imk a f k h e auient. 73%
P and %.5% R. In 25% P and 19k R the radiotherapistsdo not see the patier;u later. 7he
interval between the decision to treat and the start of the treatment is leu than two Mekr:
39% P and 43% R. and less than four weeks: 41% P and 45.7% R. Pulmonologistt are
satisfiedwith this form of consultation (85%), but only 68% of the radiothaapiw. Many
pulmonologists lake the decision whether a patient with inoperable lungshould be
irradiated alone, although many radiotherap~slsthink all patients with inoprable lungcancer
are brought in for consultation.Solnetilnes the interval between consultation and actual slan
of the treatment is too long. W e conclude, that a institutionalized consultalion over every
patient with lungcancer in all early stage 1s deslmble. There seems to be enough
understanding to con= to a consensus on the organization and the role of radiotherapy in
inoperable lungcancer patients.

As the incidence of bronchogenic carcinoma and the geriatic
population arm rapidly increasing, the nunbers of bronchogenic
carcinoma in aldarly patients are rapidly increasing. ~ e - c o n ducted a retrospactive study of 460 patients with bronchcqenic
carcinoma seen at this Institution
between 1988 and 1991.
Ninety-threm percent of patients were older than 50 years of
age; 16% of patients were age 50-59; 4 9 t age 60-69; and 191 age
70-79. About 85t of patients had non-small cell carcinoma and
the 1st of them had small call type. The rest of patients had
unclassified cell types. The distribution of stages showed
that 9t of small cell carcinead were limited diseases (Stages
I and 11). and roughly 90t were advanced diseases (Stages I11
and N). Por non-small cell carcinaas, twenty-nine percent of
patients had Stage I: 33t Stage 111: and 37% Stage IV. The
incidence of bronchcqenic carcinaa in geriatric population was
axt-ly
high, and rapresented almost one-third of all
malignantdiseasas in this medical center. They also presentad
with more advanced stager compared to the general cancer
population. The unique characteristics and treatment outcomes
will be presented in this group of geriatric population studied

The aim of this study was to evaluate the late cardiopulmonary
cccnplications in pts previously treated by "IUntle' irradiation
for Hodgkin's disease. The study included 40 ptr fullfilling the
entry criteria of being above 15 yrr and below 35 at t i w of
initial diagnosis and below 45 yrs at t i w of evaluation and an
interval of at least three yrs between ccmpletion of therapy and
cardiopulmonary avaluation. The lungs w r e evaluated by X-ray
labelled macro-aggregated albumln
chest. lung scan uaing Tc
(in 20 pts) and pulmonary function tests using forced
expirogram. The heart was assessed by ECQ and echo-Doppler study
(in 20 pts).
R m u l t s : Pulmonary evaluation: Radiology: Out of 40 ptr 20
(50%) developed mild to moderate degrea of pulmonary fibrosis.
(8/20l of them w r e in the wdxastinal and para-diastinal
region. 30% (6/20) in the apical region and 30% 16/20) in both
sites. The incidence of pulmonary caaplicatlons was increasing
with highar dosss received by the patient, but tha dlfferances
were statirtically insignificant. Mast of the pta were
amymptooutic ao this lung fibrosis was of no clinical
significance. Radio-nuclide study: 30% (6/20) of pts had
pulmonary hypo-parfusion. Cut of 10 pts with radiologic evidence
of pulmonary chngas. In only 5 pts the diagnosis was confirmed
by Tc*-, on the other hand. 5 out of 6 pts with posltive
radio-nuclide study s h a d evidence of radiological pulmonary
changes (X2-3.01. pcO.05). So plain radiography was more
sanmitive in diagnosis of late pulmonary reactions. Spirumtric
data were within no-1
predicted values except in two pts who
showad mild degree of diminished FVC, FEVl and FEVlS. Chest
radiography s h m d apical and parastarnal fibrosis In both of
these 2 pts and diaphragmatic elevation in one.
Cardiac evaluation: ECO changes: ST-T changes in 40% 18/20).
LV hyportrophy in one (5%). ventricular tachycardia in one
(treated succesafuly). Echocardiographic changes: Pericardial
e f f w i o n in 10% 12/20]. LV diastolic diamuter > 5 7 m in 5%
oosterlor
wall thickness > 11.5 IQ in 10% (2/201.
11/20).. LV
sjaction fraction < 55% in 10%. LV E/A ratro (1 in 10%;
Tricwpld regurge in 10%. and pulmonary hypartansion (assessed
by Doppler acceisration time) in none of the ptr.
Conclwionm: The late respiratory and cardiac complications of
"IUntle" irradiation are mild in most ptm. it should not
discourage the radiation oncologist from considering primary
radiotherapy in early stages of Hodgkin's disease.
The aeasurement of pH, Pco,, oxygen saturation and Pao, are
iaportant indices of clinical relevance in dateraining acid

Althouah the association k t w e e n
g a s t r o e ~ o ~ h a g e areflux
l
(GER) and w h m r i n g has
been recognized, many physicians r a i n skeptical
about cause and effect- relationship. T u r t h i m r e ,
when GER is not suapocted as a cause, or an
aggravating factor for wheezing, significant
morbidity, such as prolonged hospitalization for
refractory wheezing,multiple .rrrgency m d i c a l
visits, and chronic usage of multiple ndicatione
including oral steroids occurs. We studied the
presence of GER in 7 infants ( m a n age 8.21 m;
range 4.50-18 m: W:F::5:2) with intractable
wheezing not responding to n l t i p l e udicationa
including beta agonists, c r o w l y n sodium and
corticosteroide. Pulmonary function studies
(sensor Wedlcs 2600, Yorba Linda, CA) at
presentation were compatible with moderate to
severe peripheral airflow ohtruction, terminal
flow/ peak expiratory flow (25/PF) 0.42+0.098;
Wormal>6Ol. Diagnostic evaluation for GER
included upper GI series and 24-hours pH probe
monltoring. A11 infants had moderate GER on upper
GI, and significant acid-reflux on pH probe ( m a n
fraction time gastric pH below 4, 25.13+218;
N o m a l < 4 0 . All infants were treated ladicallv
with met&lorpramide,
and ranitidine along witjl
reflux precautions; 1 infant who was found to have
erosiveesophagitis continued to have severe
wheezing and required fundoplication. Pulmonary
function improved significantly 6 weeks after
therapy (251PF 0.58+0.078; P-0.015, Wilcoxon signrank test). There Gas siqnificant decrease in
hospltalizatlons and in emergency m d i c a l visits.
The concomitant use of a s t m medications was
decreased substantially in 2 patients, and
completely stopped in 3. Tvo patients were only
treated with rerlux medications. We conclude that
GER is an aggravating, and may be, a casual factor
in infants with protracted wheezing.

In this study-we surveyed 33 faillies of children wltfi CF,
age range Infancy to 17 years, to determine compllance with
CPT. Coapllance as a percentage of that prescribed by the
phyaiclan was rated Good (>758), Palr ( 5 0 - 7 5 0 , and Poor
( ~ 5 0 8 ) . In-depth interviews were used to assess ( 1 ) parents'
perceptlon o f severity of child's Illness, ( 2 ) famlly
demographic data, and ( 3 ) understanding of the Importance of
CPT. Compliance wlth physlclan rec-ndations
for CPT was
assrsacd with five randomlv collected 14-hour recall
interviewe. The subjects bere assured full confidentiality
and that responses would not be disclosed to their child's
physician. The physician rated each subject for severlty of

Compliance in these families was as follows: Oood In

expectatlone, no correlation was found between compliance and
disease severlty as perceived elther by parents (gm.26) or
phyelcian (gm.18). Parents' perceptlon of the importance of
CPT in the chlld's treatlent was moderately correlated with
compliance (gm.39) as was the physlclan's rating of CPT
Importance (rm.35). Compliance deterlorated as chlldren grew
older (r--.27). Chlldren living in single parent homes
r e c e l v d slgniflcantly less CPT (348 prescribed) as compared
to those In two-parent horns (88.58). In those two-parent
homes in which both mother and father provided therapy,
children received more CPT (95.7% prescribed) than in those
in whlch the mother was the sole provider (758).
Thls study justifies the need for repeated and
continuing education of parents and children on the

Symptornatdogy was varied: 8 pta had wmpkintr attributable to reapintory
system & consisted of wugh, recurrent infection rndlor pneumonia in the aame
area of the lung. Two pta presented with cocgsnive heart failure and workup
revealed pulm. sequestration. Remaining 9 pta had combination of recpintory &
wrdiac eymptoms. Diagnosis was wspected on chest x-rays b u r e of
peninant, localized, pulm, M o w and/or cadiomagaly.
In all pta pnop,
aonography delineated the systemic aneMl supply from d a r c w d i thoracic or

Conclusion: Pulm sequestration is a rare but an important cause of
reapiretory & or cardiac symptoms. Aortography should be performed in all c a w

mucin secretion we the
pathognomonic feetues of multiple inflammatory airway diseases which haw been
~mplicatedin the chronic alrway ebstruction. The mechanirns which control the
human airway goblet cell mucin m e t i o n are poorly derstood. Thia study arsassed thm rOU(dtofy mechanirns of human airway goblet cell secretion by wirq
primary culture of human bronchial epitheloal cells. The human airway epime(il
cells were dissociated from tissue by protease treatment and were plated on tissue
cdture dish coated with collagen gel substrata on F12 medium supplamented with
insulin, tranaferrin. epidermal growth factor, hydroconisone,cholera toxln, bovone
hymhalamic extract and retindc acid. Ektron microscopy and ~mmunohistochemimy demonsmted that human airway epittbalial cells cultured on collagen gel submete cwld express differentiated phenotype with cilioOemsis and mucin aecration.
The m u c w cell. aa defined by immuoofluoreaence staining with mucin-specific
monodonel entibody 117021, rescimd 10-26% of total cell popdation at confluent
a t e . Biochemical characterization with mucin pecurws ~'~lglucoaamim
and
Western Mot analysis demonstrated that cultwed human lurway mucous cells could
synttbasize h i ~ hmdecdsr weight Ik* > 200 kDI glvcoproteln molecules which were
mmilar to authentic aorway muclnr. An E L S A method, which der~vedfrom mucon.
specific monoclonel antlbody 1702, was mad to quantitate mucins released from
cultwed airway epithelial goWt calls. We found that ~soproterenolahowed most
promlmnt stimulatofy effecton main production, while the stimulatofy effectcwld
be blocked by propranolol. Atropine and acetylcholine had lime effect on mucln
secreton in cultued goblet cells. Preudomo~sendotoxin, histamine, prostaglandin
E2. leukotriene C4, leukotriene 04. 8-btomo-CAMPand calcium ionophore A231 87
coidd also atimulste mucon secration from cultwed mucous cells. There results
indicate that mucin releaoe from huMn airway goblelt cells could be enhsnced by
multiple humoral mechanisms. Thew humad regulations of mucln secretton may
play a role in airway mucan releare in inflammatory airway disorders.

as direct tests of respiratory muscles strength.
PATINTS AND METHODS: Measurement of MIP and PlEP was carried
consecutlve out-patients. 16 male and 11
out in 27 HIV
female. with a mean age of 3 3 ~ 7years (ranqe:22-53).
Patients were distributed in three orouDs: A) 13 with
nonactlve respiratory opportunistlc~~nf&tlon. B) 1 1
asslmptomatlc carriers. C ) 3 patlents k ~ t hextrapulmonary
opportunlstlc ~nfectlons MIP was measured from RV and MEP
from TLC in cm HZ0 with a portable electrocnanometer. and
expressed in b of teorical values. Non-pareated Student-?
was apllcated to statistical cmparations.
RESULTS: Mean MEPt was 69218 and mean MIPt 80.25 for all
for
patients. For sex M E B was 78+15 for males and 56:14
females (p-0.0009). and MIPt was 73.19 for males and 91.29
for females (p-0.06). No difference; were observed in M 1 k
or MEPt comparing group A with B. nelther with BtC. MEPt
was significantly lower in C (59:l) than In A ( 7 9 ~ 1 9 )
(P.0.02).
CONCLUSIONS: Abnormalities of MIPt and M E n were observed in
all groups regardless of respiratory Involvement. Abnormallties in nutritional and wtabollc status of HIV. patients or
subclinical neuromuscular disease could explain these
findings.

showed an HIV-related lymphocytic alveolitis

Since also cigarette smoking decreases Dco. we studied a group
of street IVDAs hospitalized for a disaddiction propram, who did
not show respiratory symptoms and/or infiltrates on chest x-ray
film, with clinical examination, blood tests, chest x-rays.
pulmonary
function tests and blood gas analyses. sixty-two
patients were presently smoking. 7 had never smoked. h e n t y seven were HIV-negative and 37 HIV-2ositive. The 2 groups did
not show statistically significant differences for age. lenght
of intravenous drug use, number of cigarettes smoked, hemoglobin
concentrations and CD8 lymphocyte counts, but HIV-positives had
lower CD4 lymphocyte counts compared to HIV-negatives. Uean
values for TLC. PEV, , W C , PEV, l W C (percent of predicted
values).using both predictive equations derived from normal nonsmokers and Miller's smoking specific regression equations for
currant smokers and gas-analytical date, were not significantly
different in HIV-positive IVDAs compared to HIV-negatives. Mean
values for Dco (percent of predicted values) were 78r16.4 in
BIV-positives compared to 97.9r17.6 in HIV-negatives (p<0.0001)
ueing smoking specific equations and 71.8+15.4 in HIV-positives
compared to 80.7213.4 (p<0.00011 using non-smokers equations.
Dco was t80 percent in 19 of 35 (54.38) HIV-positive subjects
end in 4 of 76 (15.48) HIV-negative subjects (p<0.0091 using
predicted values for smokers, and in 18 of 35 (805) HIV-positive
subjects and in 6 of 76 (73.15) EIV-negative subjects (p<O.O001)
using predicted values tor non-smokers. Thase data suggest that
Dco alterations observed in HIV-positive subjects ere due, in
absence
of
respiratory
symptoms
andlor
chest
x-ray
abnormalities. to an interstitial pneumopathy due to HIV or to a
subclinical pulmonary disease. We conclude that the knowing of
smoking in I M A s is useful. and that it could be included in the
analysis of their pulmonary function, but the knowing of
seropositivity is much more important. since a marked reduction
of Dco in these subjects suggests an HIV-related lymphocytic
alveolitis. an opportunistic infection or a malignancy.

pneumonia (PCP) is the most common
opponunistic infection in AIDS. occurring in 50 to 85 percent of p8khta
(1-3) and the incidence of pncumothonx in AlDS patients with PCP is
evaluated round 9.0 percent. compared with 0 percent in AIDS patients
without PCP. Thus, AlDS without PCP is not m rppucnt risk for the dcvelopment of pneumothorax. Moreover, patients with AlDS lad PCP
don't seem to have preexisting conditions known to be associated with
the developmant of secondary pneumothoru (4-6).
The case of a rccumnt bilateral pneumothonx in a patient with AlDS
and PCP, treated with aspirative thoracic tube and rifarnycine, is
described.
C. 0.. male. 34, haoine-dependent. HIV+ doe 1986. diagwlsd 8s PCP
in AlDS in 1991, presented for the third time to the Infectious
Department of the Irccs-Policlinico S. Matteo. Pavia (Italy). with
hyperthermia. A .chest x-ray revealed multiple shadows on both RUL
and RLL; m d marked interstitial involvement referred u recurrent PCP.
The patient was given Ticucilline + Clavullaic acid and Co*imouzol.
Lab findings were altered as usual in these cases. Search for CMV w u
negative and ecg was normal. Eight days later a sudden. dysplea with
intense cyanosis occumd. PO2 and S a m deerused to 33 and 13,
respectively. 14 Llmin 0 2 was administered by a nasal mask. A
massive. 75 percent. left pneumothorax was showed to the chest x-ray
and efficacily drained by aspirative lhorrcic tube. PO2 and Sat02 r i d
to 77 and 75. respectively: the dyspnea ceased. 4 days later. the lung
was still adherent to the wall and the drain was removed, but J relapse
occurred after 7 days and drained again. In the meantime r
pneumothorax. that was drained, occumd at the right side, aggravated
by the complele collapse at the left side. A second dnin was. then, put.
Because of sudden. severe dyspnea and subcuuneous emphysema.
both drain were changed and I g diluted Rifamycine introduced into
both pleurae. nK partial pneumothoru was still present at the left slde
after the patient had accidentally removed the drain, that was chmged.
The treatment with Rifamycine was, then, reputed. The bilateral
pneumothorax completely recovered after 26 days: and the drain:
removed. After a 3 months, no signs of pneumothonx f w d to the chest
x-ray control. From this experience we conclude: 1) Pneumothoru in
AlDS with PCP patients may not be casual; 2) in this patients, the
respiratory distress syndrome is severe and must be immediuely
treated by aspirative drain: 3) introducing Rifamycine in pleura is a
good chance to recover the pneumothonx. w in this case. and should be
performed soon, more times in Ihe first week.

reduction tp<0.051 to SBP to the acme of CPX.
We observed no negative effects after broxaterol administratton, while a
syncopa rn reported after salbutamol.
CONCLUSONS
Thls study shows that broxaterol, in comparison to
salbutamol, is an effective end safe bronchodiletor since it causes no rhythm

The study of heart rate variability either spontaneous or
induced by deep breathing and postural changes is considered
one of t h e best tool t o evaluate autonomic nervous system
function.
Previous studies have
established
that modulation
of
autonomic neuronal control o n the human airways are mediated
by parasympatetic colinergic,adrenergic o r -non adrenergic
fibers a s well a s the umoral svstemtvasoactive intestinal
peptide)and P substance.So an abn'ormai autonomic control of
cardiopulmonary function may make an important contribution
t o the~pathophysiolcqy of C O ~ Dpatients.
Aim o f this study is t o evaluate the possible autonomic
dysfunction in normoossiemic COLD patients and t o determine

treatment with oral and inhaled corticosteruids. 19 patients on a stable
clinical course were enrolled in the study and pulmnary function tests
were performed at the beginning and following treatments with oral
methyl prednisolone (i4P. 40 mg/ day. for two weeks) and with inhaled
beclmthasone dipropionate (BDP 500 pg bid for four months) and
changes that were produced in re;ponse to inhaled salbutml, $00 p g .

eas etesting in chronic h
e failure can
k used to provide objective a s s e s m n t of disease
sovuity which is directly relatod to prognosis.
For that reason74 patients with moderate he&
failure (llYHA 11) (18 m l e , 46 fsule, a w m g e age 50
+/- 8 yeus) carried out a s p i m r g o M t r y .
Tha aetiology af heart failure w a s specific heart
muscle diseaacl. The bicycle exercise tests were
puforud not only with a ramp protocol (20 watts/
rin) bat also during steady state conditions (65 t
of maximal exercise in watt of the rup protocol)
*ith mas-nt
of 02-consumption (VO2 max).
The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (W
nasured) was 52 % +/- 8 $.
The patients obtained an exercise of 1 2 4 +/- 1 2 watt
and a V01 max of 1 6 . 5 +/- 2 . 7 mlfig min.
That m a n s 62 % in contrast to a norvll control
group with comparable work capacity.
Conclusions: In ambulatory patients with heart
failure, exercise is limited early fatigue, feebleness or dyspnea. Ye could demonatrated that these
slrrptoma are associated with early achievement of
the anaerobic threshold and limited VO2 max.
This is not dependent on type of exercise (raap
or steady state). The noninvasive measurement of
anaerobic threshold , which could not influenced
by patients motivation, is very useful to better
characterise patients heart failure.

Exercise Tolerance in Patients with Chronic Pulmonary Disease
Acccmpanying FWN.
Pulmonary Circulation Aspect

In view of ventilation, many clinical studies of exercise
tolerance in patients with chronic pulmonary diseaae have been
reported. However pulmonary hemodynamics which closely relate
to ventilation. eswciallv durina exercise. have not been
studied in dethi1.- we inkstigated the role of pulmonary
circulation in 15 patients (chronic pulmonary auphyscma 8
wtients. wlmonarv tuberculosis-.&el
7 patients) with RVH.
-Pulmonary hemodymdcs, radial artery pressure and arterial
blood gases were measured, and simultaneously the expired gas
analysis was monitored during each staae of incremental bicycle
ergometer exercise until endpoint. Peak oxygen consumption
(30,) varied widely between 350 to 1084 (ml/min). Patients were
divided into No groups. The first was that which registered
more than 600 (ml/rnin) of Peak Vo, (High- roup, 8 patients) and
the other less than 600 (ml/min) of k a k 80, (LOW-group, 7
patients). Maximal oxygen pulse IVo,/heart race) of the L-group
was less significant ccmpared with the H-group at the maximal
stage of the exercise. Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and
total pulmonary vascular resistance (TPVR) were significantly
higher at rest in the L-group canpared with the H-group. There
were no statistical differences in PAP and T W R b e t m n the
A-group and the L-group at the stage of maximal exercise. But
PAP and TPVR of the L-group were significantly higher moon after
the start of the exercise. We concluded that the disturbance of
the pulmonary circulation had an important role as a limiting
factor during exercise in patients with chronic pulmonary
disease accompanying RVH especially in those whose exercise
tolerance was low.

Superiority and Safety of Maximal Exercise. Testing Early
After Myocardial Infarction.
Avanlndra Jain.G. Hunter Myers. Peter M. Sapin, Robert O'Rourke. The
University of Texas Health Science Center-San Antonio. San Antonio.
TX USA.
A predischarge low level (HR<70)6of age predicted) exercise treadmill
test (m)is commonly performed for risk suatification after
myocardial Infarction (MI). To assess the added benefit and safety of
eafly predUlarge maximal ElT, we performed symptom limited ElTs
uslng a modified Bruce p r o w l in a c o a ~ t i w
group of 150 p n (111
men and 39 women). The ETTs were performed a mean of 6.4t3.1
days after the MI. The mean age of the patients was 58+13 years.
Mywardial infarction was Qwave in 85 pts and nonQin 65 pts. Most
pts (83%)achieved a HR >70W of age predicted. The average exercise
duration war 9.7H.2 min with the peak HR of 122i23 beatshin and
peak systollc BP of 158+31 mmHg. No patient had infarct extension.
sustained ventricular tachycardia or death. Chest paln developed in
22 pts (13 pts with positive ElT). ElTs were posltive in 34 pts (23%)
(25 Qwave and 9 non-Qwave) at a HR<70% of age predicted. A
significantly more, 26 pts ( 9 Qwave and 17 nonQwave) had positive
ElTs only after HR >70%. The incidence of positive tests among
patients with Q and non-Qwave MI was the same (40%) at peak
exercise. With the mean follow up of 15 months in 138 pts (92%)
there were 50 cardiac events. Nine patients had recurrent MI, 14
patients had coronary artery bypass surgery, 26 patients had balloon
angioplasty. and one patient cardiac transplantation. Of the 9 pts with
cardiac wents only 2 had a positive FIT at low level but 7 had a
positive ElT at peak symptom limit end-point. Of the patients with
wents only 16 had a positive test at low level but 30 pts (p<.001) had
a positive test at peak exercise. Only 5/32 pts with negative exercise
tests had a cardiac event. Conclusion: Symptom limited exercise
treadmill test early after MI appear to be safe and will identify
additional patients with ischemia who are at risk for cardiac events.
