Usefulness of the forced oscillation technique in assessing the therapeutic result of tracheobronchial central airway obstruction RESPIRATORY INVESTIGATION,56(3):222-229 2018(Mar.) Author:Yasuo, Masanori;Kitaguchi, Yoshiaki;Kinota, Fumiya;Kosaka, Makoto;Urushihata, Kazuhisa;Ushiki, Atsuhito;Yamamoto, Hiroshi;Kawakami, Satoshi;Hanaoka, Masayuki Abstract:Background: Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) comprise the traditional method for detecting central airway obstruction (CAO) and evaluating therapeutic effects, but are effort dependent. By contrast, the forced oscillation technique (FOT) is performed during tidal breathing in an effort-independent mode and is universally used to assess respiratory function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. We used the FOT to measure airway resistance and reactance in patients with CAO before and after interventional bronchoscopy and compared the results to data obtained using PFTs. Methods: Twelve patients with CAO were recruited from December 2013 to July 2016. The FOT, PFTs, chest computed tomography (CT), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale were employed before and after interventional bronchoscopy. The minimum airway cross-sectional area (MACSA) was calculated using a CT image calculator. Results: Of the 12 patients, 6 had tracheal obstruction and 6 had bronchial obstruction. All FOT measurements, except Delta XS, were significantly improved after interventional bronchoscopy in all cases. The significance of the improvement was greater with the FOT than PFTs. The MACSA, CAT, and mMRC dyspnea scale scores also significantly improved in all cases. Furthermore, only alteration of resistance at 20 Hz (R20) significantly correlated with the alteration of the MACSA after intervention. No significant correlations were found for PFTs. Conclusions: The FOT is suitable and convenient for assessing therapeutic results in patients with tracheobronchial CAO. The alteration of R20 is useful for estimating the airway dilation of CAO after interventional bronchoscopy. (C)2018 The Japanese Respiratory Society. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Associations between the distance covered in the incremental shuttle walk test and lung function and health status in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease RESPIRATORY INVESTIGATION,55(1):33-38 2017(Jan.) Author:Ushiki, Atsuhito;Nozawa, Shuhei;Yasuo, Masanori;Urushihata, Kazuhisa;Yamamoto, Hiroshi;Hanaoka, Masayuki;Fujimoto, Keisaku Abstract:Background: Field walk tests such as the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) are simple tests for assessing the degree of disability in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the present study, the correlations between exercise performance in the ISWT, lung function, and health status were examined in patients with COPD of varying seventies. Methods: A retrospective examination of 277 COPD patients was performed using the ISWT and lung function tests along with assessment of health status using St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). In addition, we assessed the correlations between the walking distance, lung function parameters, and SGRQ scores. Results: ISWT distances were poorly correlated with lung function parameters and SGRQ scores in mild COPD patients. In contrast, ISWT distances were significantly correlated with pulmonary function parameters, such as vital capacity (%predicted) and forced expiratory volume in one second, and SGRQ scores in moderate and severe COPD patients. Conclusions: The ISWT is more independent of health status and pulmonary function in patients with mild COPD compared to moderate or severe cases. Therefore, the exercise capacity of patients with mild COPD should be estimated by the ISWT. (C) 2016 The Japanese Respiratory Society. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration for the Diagnosis of Intrathoracic Lesions : Experience of a Single Academic Medical Center 信州医学雑誌,60(5):249-255 2012 Author:YASUO Masanori;HANAOKA Masayuki;TOKORO Yayoi;HORIUCHI Toshimichi;ITO Michiko;KOJIMA Kazushi;IKEGAWA Kayoko;USHIKI Atsuhito;YAMAMOTO Hiroshi;YOSHIZAWA Akihiko;HONDA Takayuki;KUBO Keishi Abstract:Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has been recognized as a minimally-invasive and effective method for the diagnosis and nodal staging of lung cancer. We describe our initial experience with this method, including diagnostic sensitivity, safety, importance of obtaining histological samples, and diagnostic pitfalls. We retrospectively studied 100 patients (108 consecutive procedures) with radiologically suspicious intrathoracic lesions who were investigated by EBUS-TBNA. The procedures were performed between January 2005 and December 2011 at our institute. Adequate sampling value was 91.7%. Total diagnostic yield was 68.5% (74/108). In diagnosed subjects, malignancy and benign disease were identified in 68 and 6 cases, respectively. Diagnostic yield was relatively high in malignancy (88.3%), and poor in benign (19.4%). In the subgroup of malignant subjects, the diagnostic yield was higher in lung cancer (96.2%) than in other malignancies (72.0%) but, the difference disappeared if malignant lymphoma was excluded. No major complications were associated with the procedure. EBUS-TBNA is useful in accessing the circumference of the central airway tumor for diagnosis. Compared with previous studies, the diagnostic yield of mediastinal lymphoma and benign lesions is worse in our laboratory. Adequate tissue sampling and preparation are needed for the definitive diagnosis of malignant lymphoma and benign lesions.
