A case of sarcoidosis associated with bronchial asthma.

A 54-year-old woman was treated for bronchial asthma for 14 yr. In March of 1989, chest roentgenography and computed tomography (CT) revealed development of bilateral pulmonary hilar lymph node enlargement. Positive 67Ga uptake was observed in bilateral pulmonary hili. Although levels of serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and lysozyme were within normal range, biopsy specimen of scalene lymph nodes showed noncaseating epitheloid-cell granuloma, leading to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Steroid therapy ameliorated both sarcoidosis and bronchial asthma. Although the association of sarcoidosis and bronchial asthma is uncommon, there may be an etiological relationship between them.

Methylcellulose--a better viscosurgical alternative for intraocular lens implantation.

The authors have used 2% methylcellulose in 8,000 cases of intraocular lens implant surgery during the last five and a half years. Their surgical experience and investigations have convinced them that methylcellulose is safe and effective besides being convenient and economical. It is easily autoclavable, has very low particulate matter when prepared by the author's technique, and causes minimal secondary rise of intraocular pressure. The endothelial protective function and breakdown of the blood aqueous barrier are comparable to that of Healon. The authors consider methylcellulose to be the better alternative for IOL implant surgery.
