Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the reproducibility of the cytological diagnosis of endometrial lesions by the Osaki Study Group (OSG) method of new cytological diagnostic criteria using BD SurePath™ (SP)-liquid-based cytology (LBC). METHODS This cytological classification using the OSG method consists of six categories: (i) normal endometrium (NE), (ii) endometrial glandular and stromal breakdown (EGBD), (iii) atypical endometrial cells, cannot exclude atypical endometrial hyperplasia or more (ATEC-A), (iv) adenocarcinoma including atypical endometrial hyperplasia or malignant tumour (Malignancy), (v) endometrial hyperplasia without atypia (EH) and (vi) atypical endometrial cells of undetermined significance (ATEC-US). For this study, a total 244 endometrial samplings were classified by two academic cytopathologists as follows: 147 NE cases , 36 EGBD cases , 47 Malignant cases, eight ATEC-A cases, two EH cases and four ATEC-US cases. To confirm the reproducibility of the diagnosis and to study the inter- and intra-observer agreement further, a second review round followed at 3-month intervals, which included three additional cytopathologists. RESULTS The inter-observer agreement of NE classes improved progressively from 'good to fair' to 'excellent', with values increasing from 0.70 to 0.81. Both EGBD and Malignancy classes improved progressively from 'good to fair' to 'excellent', with values increasing from 0.62-0.63 to 0.84-0.95, respectively. The overall intra-observer agreement between the first and the second rounds was 'good to fair' to 'excellent', with values changing from 0.79 to 0.85. All kappa improvements were significant (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION In this study, it seemed that the use of the OSG method as the new diagnostic criteria for SP-LBC preparation, may be a valid method to improve the precision (reproducibility) of endometrial cytology.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel inhabits the apical membrane of airway epithelia, where its function is essential for mucus hydration, mucociliary clearance, and airway defense. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), most often a consequence of cigarette smoke (CS) exposure, affects 15 million persons in the US. Clinically, COPD is characterized by many of the salient features of cystic fibrosis lung disease, where CFTR is either absent or reduced in function. CS is an acidic aerosol (pH 5.3 to 6.3) reported to contain over 4,000 constituents. Acute CS exposure has been reported to decrease airway transepithelial voltage in vivo and short-circuit current in vitro; however, the mechanistic basis of these effects is uncertain. The goal of the studies described here was to develop a bioassay to characterize the effects of aqueous CS preparations on the channel function of CFTR. We studied aqueous CS extract (CSE) prepared in our laboratory, as well as commercial cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) in Xenopus oocytes expressing human CFTR. Application of CSE at pH 5.3 produced a reversible, voltage-dependent inhibition of CFTR conductance. CSE neutralized to pH 7.3 produced less inhibition of CFTR conductance. Serial dilution of CSE revealed a dose-dependent effect at acidic and neutral pH. In contrast, CSC did not inhibit CFTR conductance in oocytes. We conclude that one or more components of CSE inhibits CFTR in a manner similar to diphenylamine-2-carboxylate, a negatively charged, open-channel blocker.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Reactive renal tubular cells show features of an atypical repair reaction. Differentiation between reactive renal tubular cells and low-grade urothelial carcinoma (LG-UC) cells can therefore be a diagnostic challenge based on morphology alone. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic utility of vimentin and a high-molecular-weight cytokeratin antibody (clone 34ßE12) in differentiating reactive renal tubular cells from LG-UC. METHODS We evaluated voided urine cytology and surgical specimens from 40 patients with renal disease, and 17 patients with LG-UC. All slides were stained with vimentin and 34ßE12. RESULTS In the reactive renal tubular cells in voided urine cytology, vimentin showed strong cytoplasmic staining in 39/40 (97.5%) cases, but all were negative for 34ßE12. LG-UC cells showed positive staining for 34ßE12 in 3/17 (17.6%) cases, whereas none were positivity for vimentin. The reactive renal tubular cells of histological specimens in the renal disease group demonstrated positive for vimentin in all 40 cases and all were negative for 34ßE12. The LG-UC group showed abnormal staining for 34ßE12 in 4/17 (23.5%) cases, whereas none were positive for vimentin. CONCLUSIONS Vimentin expression in urine cytology can help to distinguish reactive renal tubular cells from LG-UC. However, 34ßE12 does not appear to be a useful adjunct to distinguish these two groups in voided urine cytology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the utility of SurePath-liquid-based cytology (LBC) compared to conventional cytological preparations (CCP) in the identification of endometrial carcinoma. METHODS During a 13-month period, direct endometrial samples were collected from 120 patients using the Uterobrush. The material comprised 30 cases each of endometrial carcinoma, proliferative endometrium, secretory endometrium and atrophic endometrium. The following points were investigated:(i) the frequency of cell clumps in endometrial carcinoma; (ii) the area of cell nuclei; (iii) overlapping nuclei. RESULTS (i) Comparison of the frequency of cell clumps with irregular protrusion pattern and papillo-tubular pattern showed no statistically significant difference in either type of cell clump between CCP and LBC. (ii) Comparison of the nuclear area of cells showed a sequential decrease from endometrial carcinoma to secretory endometrium, to proliferative endometrium and to atrophic endometrium, which was significant in CCP and LBC. (iii) Nuclear area was significantly lower with LBC compared with CCP in endometrial carcinoma, secretory endometrium and proliferative endometrium but not atrophic endometrium. (iv) Comparison of the degree of overlapping nuclei showed a sequential decrease from endometrial carcinoma to proliferative endometrium, to secretory endometrium and to atrophic endometrium, which was significant in both CCP and LBC. (v) Comparison of the degree of overlapping nuclei between CCP and LBC showed no significant difference for normal types of endometrium, but LBC had significantly higher values (P < 0.0001) in endometrial carcinoma than in CCP. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study revealed that applying diagnostic criteria used in CCP to LBC was easy to achieve, because LBC had excellent cytoarchitectural preservation and cells were well presented. Although we have not examined all cytological features of malignancy and have not considered atypical hyperplasia, we believe that this method may be a useful tool in the diagnosis of endometrial cytology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop a new reporting format for endometrial cytology that would standardize the diagnostic criteria and the terminology used for reporting. METHODS In previous studies, cytoarchitectural criteria were found to be useful for the cytological assessment of endometrial lesions. To apply these criteria, an appropriate cytological specimen is imperative. In this article, the requirements of an adequate endometrial cytological specimen for the new diagnostic criteria are first discussed. Then, the diagnostic criteria, standardized on a combination of conventional and cytoarchitectural criteria, are presented. Third, terminology that could be used, not only for reporting the histopathological diagnosis, but also for providing better guidance for the gynaecologist to determine further clinical action, is introduced. The proposed reporting format was investigated using endometrial cytology of 58 cases that were cytologically underestimated or overestimated compared to the histopathological diagnosis made on the subsequent endometrial biopsy or surgical specimens. RESULTS Of the 58 cases, 12 were reassessed as being unsatisfactory for evaluation. Among the remaining 46 cases, 25 of the 27 cases, which had been underestimated and subsequently diagnosed as having endometrial carcinoma or a precursor stage on histopathological examination,were reassessed as recommended for endometrial biopsy. On the other hand, 19 cases overestimated by cytology were all reassessed as not requiring biopsy. CONCLUSIONS The reporting format for endometrial cytology proposed in this article may improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce the number of patients managed inappropriately.

Abstract
Serial lung images with N-isopropyl-p-[I-123]-iodoamphetamine (I-123 IMP) were obtained to assess the imaging findings and to clarify the lesion to uptake relationships in 74 lesions in 73 patients with various histological types of bronchogenic carcinoma. A decreased uptake area was observed in all 74 lesions in the initial one or two-min I-123 IMP image. The initial image was analogous to a Tc-99m MAA lung perfusion image in 70 patients in whom both lung imaging procedures were performed. The imaging findings changed following this initial phase. At 4 hr, the lesion was depicted as either areas of decreased uptake or increased uptake or a combination of the two. Comparison between the lesion findings in the 4-hr I-123 IMP images, radiograms and removed specimens revealed that areas of decreased uptake corresponded to the cancerous portions of the lung mass or pleural effusion and areas of increased uptake corresponded to inflammatory portions including obstructive pneumonitis and/or collapse. Thus, the 4-hr I-123 IMP lung images can be used to discriminate the cancerous portion from associated secondary changes, obstructive pneumonitis and/or collapse.

Abstract
In a patient with primary lung cancer, increased accumulation of I-123-IMP was observed in a pulmonary inflammatory lesion surrounding a lung cancer which was delineated as a photon deficient area. Ga-67-citrate uptake was observed in both the inflammatory and cancerous areas. These findings suggest that I-123-IMP may have the potential to accumulate differently in a variety of pathological conditions of the lung and thus may be a clinically useful lung imaging agent.
