Estimation of a drug effect by a simplified radioaerosol inhalation lung cine-scintigraphy: bromhexine on mucociliary clearance mechanisms.
A proposed simplification of radioaerosol inhalation lung cine-scintigraphy, namely 60 min measurement of radioactivity without repeating measurement at 24 hr later and calculation of alveolar deposition ratio (ALDR) by the regression formula of ALDR = -48.08 + 0.47 X FEV1.0% + 0.59 X LRR60, was found useful and applicable even to the evaluation of a drug on mucociliary clearance mechanisms. Th...
متن کاملEvaluation of alveolar clearance by Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol inhalation scintigraphy in welders.
OBJECTIVES The welding process produces metal fumes and gases which may affect respiratory health. Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-99m DTPA) dynamic lung scanning is an easy, noninvasive method to assess disorders of alveolar-capillary barrier permeability secondary to epithelial damage. We aimed to investigate the alveolar clearance by Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol inhalation ...
متن کاملAssessment of mucociliary clearance in patients with tracheobronchoplasty using radioaerosol.
To assess mucociliary clearance in patients with tracheobronchoplasty, radioaerosol inhalation scanning was performed in 14 patients. The unilateral total lung clearance curve was fitted into two compartmental curves, fast and slow, by least-squares techniques in order to assess mucociliary clearance of the bronchial tree quantitatively. Half-time (T 1/2) of the curve resulting from the subtrac...
متن کاملPulmonary radioaerosol mucociliary clearance in primary ciliary dyskinesia.
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic condition affecting one in 10 000–40 000 people from birth [1]; cilia fail to beat, and the airway clearance of mucus and debris is severely impaired. If untreated, this results in progressive lung infection leading to bronchiectasis and ultimately respiratory failure. Additionally, delayed diagnosis has implications for genetic counselling, appropr...
متن کاملSputum and mucociliary clearance mechanisms.
Bronchial secretion forms a periciliary liquid layer and may also give rise to thicker secretion that moves on the tips of the cilia. This latter material as collected at bronchoscopy or coughed up as sputum is a viscoelastic substance behaving in a characteristic way over a wide range of shear rates. The anatomical basis of secretion is described and its control as established by organ culture.
