Objective To study the diagnostic value of flexible bronchoscope in location and causes of atelectasis.Methods Flexible bronchoscopy examination was carried out on seventy-nine cases of apneumatosis to observe lobar bronchus and segmental bronchus.Lung biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage were carried out.Results Thirty-two cases were lung cancer,covering 40.5%.Seven cases were pulmonary tuberculosis,covering 8.8%.Thirty-eight cases were inflammation,covering 48.1%.Two cases had foreign matter,covering 2.5%.Conclusions Flexible bronchoscopy is of important clinical value in the location,diagnosis and treatment of atelectasis.

Objective As we know more about CVA and examination methods are becoming more popular,the number of patients diagnosed as CVA is increasing year after year.So it is necessary that we should find more clinical characteristic and therapy for CVA.Methods 155 CVA patients have been observed for 2 years and the results of bronchial methacholine chloride provocation test before and after the observation were analyzed.Results 30% of the patients werent analyzed because they did not take the drugs regularly.The result showed that the CVA male vs female was 1 ∶4,the average age was(40?7.2)years.20 patients developed typical asthma(12.94%).After 2 years,70% of the patients had positive results of the bronchial methacholine chloride provocation.Methacholine chloride concentration was negatively related to hyperresponsiveness of bronchus.FEV_1% was negatively related to the state of asthmatic degree.Conclusions The CVA was incident to the young and the middle-age females,often with an obvious inducement.The female prognosis was worse than that of the male.Generally speaking,the prognosis was good if patients took medicine regularly.Patientscompliance was the essence of the prevention and the cure.Young females who had chronic cough indicate CVA.The concentration of methacholine chloride and FEV_1% were effective indexes when we estimated the state and prognosis of CVA.In most CVA patients,the hyperresponsiveness stayed for a long time,which may be one of the most dangerous risks.We should keep on observing and treating those patients.
