    Objective To explore the relationship between anthrasilicosis patients'chest X-ray findings and lung function. Methods Making a study of 146 selective anthrasilicosis patients from their chest X-ray by analysis of their testing lung function. Results It has been found, between shadow on lung, scattering range obstruction to lung function, that chronic bronchititis is related to the types of lung function. Conclusion Index is significantly useful in shadow area on lung scattering range, judged by the testing results on lung function, especially in the first stage.

    Background: Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be beneficial in patients with respiratory diseases, but its association with lung function has rarely been analysed in lung-healthy populations. We investigated the association of accelerometer-based PA with spirometric parameters, gas exchange (lung diffusion capacity, TLCO/VA), and respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory mouth pressure, PImax) in lung-healthy German adults (KORA FF4). Methods: Lung function and accelerometer data from one week (ActiGraph) were available from 341 participants (45% male, mean age 57 years, 47% never smokers). Sex-specific PA quartiles were defined according to the mean minutes/day spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Further, we analysed PA defined as achieving at least one 10-minute bout of MVPA, and as meeting the WHO PA recommendation of 150 min MVPA/week in ≥10-minute bouts. Adjusted linear regression models were applied. Results: Associations of the highest MVPA quartile with FEV1, FVC and GLI z-scores of FEV1 and FVC were observed. Participants in the most active MVPA quartile (>48 minutes/day) had 142 ml higher FEV1 and 155 ml higher FVC than those in the least active one (<19 minutes/day). These associations remained among ever/current smokers, but not in never smokers. No associations were found for TLCO/VA. Engaging in MVPA for at least one 10-minute bout was associated with higher PImax, while no association was found with achieving the WHO threshold. Conclusion: Weak, but positive associations of PA with volumetric lung function indices were found. This effect was mainly driven by ever/current smokers probably benefiting most because they are at a higher risk for chronic lung diseases.

    Objective Summarize the clinical effect that the tuberculosis patients who have the destroyed lung and lower lung function are cured by pleuroponeumonectomy.Methods Review and analysis the clinical data in 10 pleuroponeumonectomies which were implemented on the tuberculosis patients who have the destroyed lung and lower lung function during 3 years.There were 6 cases with the left pleuroponeumonectomy and 4 cases with the right pleuroponeumonectomy.Results All the patients without the respiratory failure were reviewed the lung function after the operations in three months,six months and twelve months.All patients'lung function conditions are improving remarkably after the operations.Conclusion For a part of the patients who have the destroyed lung and lower lung function in the operation contraindication disease still be able to pass the pleuroponeumonectomy to achieve the favourable treatment effect,but one must be make serious screening and give sufficient evaluation of lung function.
