Comparison of two methods of processing induced sputum: Selected versus entire sputum - From the authors.
No full textSelected sputum is a better method for analysing induced sputum,
providing more viable cells, more eosinophilis, and higher
concentration of ECP in asthmatics, but in our hands, the entire
sputum method was also effective at distinguishing asthmatics
from healthy subjects
Comparison of two methods of processing induced sputum: selected versus entire sputum.
No full textSputum analysis is increasingly used to assess airway inflammation in asthma. The analysis of sputum is currently performed with two techniques, i.e., analysis of selected sputum (plugs) and analysis of entire sputum. To investigate the diagnostic value of these two methods, we compared total and differential cell counts and supernatant eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in selected and entire sputum collected on two occasions in a group of healthy and asthmatic subjects. We induced sputum with hypertonic saline in 18 asthmatics and in eight healthy subjects. On one occasion we analyzed selected sputum, and on another occasion we analyzed entire sputum. In each sample we measured total and differential cell counts and ECP concentration in supernatant. We found a higher percentage of eosinophils (15.3 versus 8.3\%; p < 0.01), more viable nonsquamous cells (80.6 versus 71.8\%; p < 0.01), and higher levels of ECP (548 versus 105 microg/L; p < 0.001) in selected sputum as compared with entire sputum, whereas the percentage of neutrophils was higher in the entire sputum (42.7 versus 33.3\%; p < 0.05). The percentage of eosinophils and ECP concentration were significantly and similarly increased in both selected and entire sputum of asthmatic subjects, i.e., independent of the method of sputum analysis. In conclusion, the selected sputum method may indeed provide more viable cells, more eosinophils, and a higher concentration of ECP. However, both the selected sputum and the entire sputum method have the same diagnostic value in distinguishing asthmatics from healthy subjects
Effects of intradermal injection of atrial natriuretic peptide.
No full textAtrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) causes mast cell degranulation in rats in vivo and in vitro but is bronchodilator in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the wheal and flare dose-response to intradermal injection of alpha-human ANP in normal humans. Eight normal subjects received five 30 microliters injections containing 1, 10, 39, 78, 117 pmol ANP and one each of normal saline, histamine 675 pmol and substance P 30 pmol. Maximum ANP flare response was greater but not significantly than that to saline at 1.55 +/- 0.6 (mean +/- s.e. mean) compared with 0.42 +/- 0.17 cm2, but much less than to histamine 9.86 +/- 0.97 or to substance P 12.5 +/- 1.2. Maximum ANP wheal response was significantly greater than that to saline at 0.38 +/- 0.08 compared with 0.18 +/- 0.05 cm2 (difference between means 0.20, 95% CI 0.05, 0.35), but much less than to histamine 0.75 +/- 0.06 or to substance P 1.05 +/- 0.08 cm2. No dose-response to ANP was demonstrated, though responses to the highest dose differed significantly from those to the lowest dose studied. We conclude that human cutaneous responses to ANP differ from those of animals and that the skin is less responsive than other tissues in humans
