ObjectivesTo evaluate the differentiating roles of computed tomography (CT) for invasive adenocarcinomas (IACs) of the lung from preinvasive lesions or minimally invasive adenocarcinomas (MIAs) manifesting as part-solid ground-glass nodules (GGNs).
Patients andMethodsAll 230 lesions were pathologically confirmed. Their size, CT parameters and morphological features were compared among the three groups. Optimal cut-off values were calculated for parameters with diagnostic value.ResultsThe diameter of the GGN lesion and the maximum diameter of the solid part, as well as CT values of the ground-glass part and the solid part differed significantly among the three groups. Cut-off maximum diameter of the solid part was 2.5 and 5.5 mm to differentiate preinvasive vs. MIA and MIA vs. IAC, respectively. Cut-off mean CT value was -581 and -464 hounsfield unit (HU) to differentiate preinvasive vs. MIA and MIA vs. IAC, respectively. Cut-off CT value of the ground-glass part was -675 and -562 HU to differentiate the same three groups. Morphological characteristics such as lobulation, spiculation and air bronchograms were all more likely to occur in invasive lesions.ConclusionThe mean CT value, CT value of the ground glass part and maximum solid-part diameter of a GGN can help differentiate preinvasive from invasive lung adenocarcinomas.Keywords: Computed Tomography, Ground, Glass Nodule, Atypical Adenomatous Hyperplasia, Minimally Invasive Adenocarcinoma, Lung Adenocarcinoma, Adenocarcinoma in situ} -
Background & Aims of the Study: Ground-Level Ozone (GLO) is the component of one of greatest concern that threatened human health in both developing as well as developed countries. The GLO mainly enters the body through the respiration and can cause decrements in pulmonary complications, eye burning, shortness of breath, coughing, failure of immune defense, decreases forced vital capacity, reduce lung function of the lungs and increase rate of mortality. Ahwaz with high emission air pollutants because of numerous industries is one of the metropolitan Iranian polluted. The aim of this study is evaluate to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and respiratory mortality related to GLO in the air of metropolitan Ahvaz during 2011.Materials and MethodsWe used the generalized additive Air Q model for estimation of COPD and respiratory mortality attributed to GLO pollutant. Data of GLO were collected in four monitoring stations Ahvaz Department of Environment. Raw data processing by Excel software and at final step they were converted as input file to the Air Q model for estimate number of COPD Cases and respiratory mortality.ResultsAccording to result this study, The Naderi and Havashenasi had the highest and the lowest GLO concentrations. The results of this study showed that cumulative cases of COPD and respiratory mortality which related to GLO were 34 and 30 persons, respectively. Also, Findings showed that approximately 11% COPD and respiratory mortality happened when the GLO concentrations was more than 20 μg/m3.Conclusionsexposure to GLO pollution has stronger effects on human health in Ahvaz. Findings showed that there were a significant relationship between concentration of GLO and COPD and respiratory mortality. Therefore; the higher ozone pollutant value can depict mismanagement in urban air quality.Keywords: Ground, Level Ozone, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, respiratory mortality, Ahwaz, Iran}
