We conducted a prospective study of a cohort of 3091 nonsmokers, ages 27 to 87 years, to evaluate the association between long-term ambient ozone exposure and development of adult-onset asthma. Over a 15-year period, 3.2% of males and 4.3% of females reported new doctor diagnoses of asthma. For males, we observed a significant relationship between report of doctor diagnosis of asthma and 20-year mean 8-h average ambient ozone concentration (relative risk (RR)=2.09 for a 27 ppb increase in ozone concentration, 95% CI=1.03 to 4.16). We observed no such relationship for females. Other variables significantly related to development of asthma were a history of ever-smoking for males (RR=2.37, 95% CI=1.13 to 4.81), and for females, number of years worked with a smoker (RR=1.21 for a 7-year increment, 95% CI=1.04 to 1.39), age (RR=0.61 for a 16-year increment, 95% CI=0.44 to 0.84), and a history of childhood pneumonia or bronchitis (RR=2.96, 95% CI=1.68 to 5.03). Addition of other pollutants (PM10, SO4, NO2, and SO2) to the models did not diminish the relationship between ozone and asthma for males. These data suggest that long-term exposure to ambient ozone is associated with development of asthma in adult males. 1999 Academic Press.

BACKGROUND: Pharyngocutaneous fistula is the most common complication following total laryngectomy. The present study was designed to determine the incidence and predisposing factors and to describe the management of the complication. METHODS: The records of 246 consecutive patients who underwent total laryngectomy for squamous cell carcinoma were reviewed. We evaluated 23 factors potentially predisposing to fistula formation (age, sex, smoking and drinking habits, hypertension, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, chronic congestive heart failure, anesthesiologic risk, cholinesterase level, pre- and postoperative hemoglobin and albumin levels, previous treatment, previous tracheotomy, site of origin of the tumor, surgical procedure, concurrent neck dissection, suture material, status of surgical margins, clinical stage, and histologic grade) using the chi-squared test and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: A pharyngocutaneous fistula developed in 16% of patients within a mean time of 11 days from surgery. Spontaneous closure with local wound care was achieved in 70% of cases. Ten patients required surgical closure by direct suture of the pharyngeal mucosa; a deltopectoral flap and a pectoralis major myocutaneous flap were used in one case each. The mean healing time was 39+/-46 days in the group of patients requiring surgical closure, compared with 19+/-12 days in the group in which spontaneous closure occurred. The definitive model of logistic regression analysis showed that pharyngolaryngectomy, chronic congestive heart failure, and postoperative hemoglobin level lower than 12.5 g/dL carried respectively a two-, five-, and ninefold increase in the risk of fistula development. The model, with a specificity of 81%, is fairly good in identifying patients with a low risk of fistula. CONCLUSIONS: The results observed in the group of patients under analysis corroborated the relevance of factors such as the extension of laryngectomy and postoperative hemoglobin level on fistula occurrence. However, chronic congestive heart failure, which is an expression of disturbance of the organism, emerged for the first time as an additional statistically significant risk factor for pharyngocutaneous fistula formation. Our experience confirmed that most fistulas can be successfully managed with conservative treatment. Except for the rare cases in which large defects are present, direct suture is appropriate when conservative treatment has failed.

BACKGROUND: Between June and July, 1994, we encountered an epidemic of a pertussis-like illness in adolescents in a junior high school located in a rural area of Japan. The purposes of this study were to record the clinical manifestations and to identify an etiology. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We interviewed patients and parents and we performed physical examinations on patients with cough during the epidemic. The chest radiographs were also reviewed by us. To identify an etiology we performed culture and serologic studies for a variety of bacteria, Mycoplasma, chlamydiae and viruses. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Chlamydia pneumoniae was carried out on throat swab specimens. RESULTS: Of a total of 230 students 136 (59%) had severe cough illnesses. One developed pneumonia, 9 had bronchitis and the remaining 126 (93%) presented upper respiratory tract infections (URI). The mean duration of cough in cases with URI was 17.4 days and that in cases with bronchitis and pneumonia was 30.4 days. Serology and/or cultures for Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia psittaci or viruses were negative. Detection of C. pneumoniae infection was carried out in 46 patients with pneumonia, bronchitis or URI by serology and PCR. The patient with pneumonia, 7 of 7 patients with bronchitis and 32 (84%) of 38 patients with URI were documented to be infected by C. pneumoniae either by serology, PCR or both tests. CONCLUSION: An epidemic of a pertussis-like illness in a junior high school population was caused by C. pneumoniae.

Suberosis--the lung disease suffered by cork industry workers--may present in the form of either hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) or obstructive pulmonary disease (OPD) with asthma-like symptoms or chronic bronchitis. Mast cells play an important role in pulmonary inflammation and are particularly implicated in the rapid release of mediators in bronchoconstriction and the production of cytokines and mediators of fibroblast activity. Increased numbers of mast cells are present in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in interstitial lung diseases, suggesting that these cells also participate in chronic inflammatory processes and in pulmonary fibrosis. OBJECTIVES: To assess the participation of mas cells in interstitial pulmonary inflammation in cork industry workers by histochemically analyzing their presence in BAL fluid. Foreseeing the possible implication of bronchoalveolar mast cells in the pathogenesis of suberosis, we also studied their relation to various signs and symptoms of the disease, to respiratory function parameters and to degree of alveolitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-one cork industry workers with respiratory symptoms related to occupational exposure were enrolled. Occupational and case histories were taken. Physical examinations were complemented by chest X-rays, plethysmography/spirometry, fiberoptic bronchoscopy with BAL, and determination of carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) and arterial blood gases at rest. Patient classification (20 with HP and 11 with OPD) was based on clinical and functional criteria and analysis of BAL fluid. Mast cells in cytospinned samples treated with two different stains [May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) and Toluidine Blue (Tol.Bl.)] were counted by two observers and the results were compared. MAIN RESULTS: Good correlation between the two staining methods was confirmed (rs = 0.86, p < 0.0001). Correlation between the two observers was also good (MGG rs = 0.86, Yol.Bl. rs = 0.87, p < 0.0001). The number of mast cells in BAL fluid was significantly higher in patients with HP [13.4 +/- 4.5 (x +/- SEM)] than in those with OPD (0.9 +/- 0.3; p < 0.002, Mann Whitney test). The subgroup of eight patients with poorer respiratory function (CV and/or DLCO < 80% of reference value) also had higher mast cell counts in BAL (19.9 +/- 7.7 versus 3.5 +/- 1.7; p = 0.002). We also saw a negative relation between mast cell counts in BAL fluid and lung function parameters: total lung capacity (rs = -0.68, p = 0.005) and DLCO (rs = -0.54, p = 0.008). Mast cell recovery from BAL fluid was positively related to severity of alveolitis in terms of total cell counts (rs = 0.62, p = 0.002), absolute lymphocyte counts (rs = 0.56, p = 0.006) and albumin levels (rs = 0.68, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that mast cells participate in interstitial lung cell response to the inhalation of organic cork dust, particularly when HP is the form of presentation. Moreover, mas cell recruitment on the alveolar surface seems to be related to the intersity of lymphocytosis and interstitial pulmonary inflammation and to lung function deterioration in affected patients.

Hair loss is a problem in modern soceity. Examining the factors of hair growth may shed light on how hair loss might occur. How long can hair grow before it stops growing eventually if it does? Given that the hair growth rate is quite uniform and constant, somewhere between 0.3-0.5 millimeters per day, it's believed that the length of anagen, the growth phase, differs among individuals, and this is the major determinant to the maximum hair length. For some individuals, anagen may last ten years. Of course the length of the anagen is governed by genes, and the genetic background of the individuals. Non-genetic factors such as nutritional condition, weather, seasonal changes (hair may grow a bit faster during winter), taking medications, health condition may of course influence the rate of hair growth as well as hair loss. The shape of the hair, straight or curly, is dependent on the shape of the follicle. A circular or round hair follicle would generate straight hair, while the follicle with oval or elliptical shapes (in its cross-section) would produce a curly hair.














DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
