Protection of rat bronchial epithelium against tobacco smoke.

Addition to tobacco of phenylmethyloxadiazole (PMO) protects rats against some of the adverse effects of exposure to cigarette smoke. Two groups of 15 rats were exposed to 25 cigarettes a day for 24 days; the group whose cigarette included PMO showed less immediate distress after exposure, a smaller tracheal goblet cell count, less thickening of the tracheal epithelium, and less cells in mitosis than those exposed to ordinary tobacco.

Distinction between infection and rejection in lung transplantation.

In distinguishing between infection and rejection after human lung transplantation clinical and radiological features were unhelpful, and even confusing. However, incipient rejection could be predicted and distinguished from infection by monitoring alterations in lymphocyte activity by the rosette inhibition test. Earlier prediction seems possible by detecting circulating lung-binding antibody. The ability to detect changes in the immunological status of a patient, even before clinical deterioration, has fundamental implications for the management of patients after transplantation.
