Open thoracotomies were performed in 124 out of 198 spontaneous pneumothorax episodes from Jan. 1967 to Dec. 1976. By reviewing histological findings of resected specimens, elastofibrosis was remarkable in particular and bullae seem to arise from this elastofibrosis. This change could be irreversible and causes frequent recurrence. So only conservative treatment is not enough and is needed surgical treatment. Regarding operation we prefer bullectomy and/or partial parietal pleurectomy. The latter is useful to reserve pulmonary function and can gain necessary adhesion of the place where frequent bullae formation are observed. And after performing parietal pleurectomy, there is no recurrence.

In a prospective study in our department, 63 consecutive patients with suspected sarcoidosis underwent combined bronchial and transbronchial biopsy during bronchoscopy with rigid instruments under general anaesthesia. Lung tissue was obtained in all cases. In 19 cases noncaseous granulomas were found only by transbronchial lung biopsy. In 9 cases they were found only by bronchial biopsy. In 30 patients noncaseating granulomas were found by both technics, that is, the lesions were found in both lung parenchyma and bronchial wall. In 5 patients, diagnosis of sarcoidosis could not be confirmed by bronchological methods, but was obtained by other biopsy procedures. From our findings, we conclude that the combination of bronchial and transbronchial biopsies during bronchoscopy with rigid instruments is a valuable procedure for establishing the diagnosis of sarcoidosis and that the bronchological methods could replace mediastinoscopy in most cases of sarcoidosis.

In the present study the AA. analyse the immunological behaviour of patients taken from a group of 309 cases of Extrinsic Pulmonary Granulomatoses (E.P.G.). Humoral immunological changes were studied by assessing serum immunoglobulins, various complement fractions and, when possible, circulating precipitating antibodies. Immunoglobulins A and G values were significantly higher than control values. On the contrary there was no significant difference between IgM values, in patients and controls. The complement fractions (C3c, C4 and C3 activator) showed values within normal limits. Specific circulating antibodies were detected both in bird fanciers and in cork workers. Cellular immunity was evaluated by comparing the results of various tests. Eighty percent of all cases of E.P.G. had negative tuberculin tests, while eighty percent of the general population, in Portugal, has positive tuberculin tests. The Kveim-Siltzbach test was positive in one of 19 cases of E.P.G., and this was considered a false positive result. In vitro lymphocyte blastic transformation in presence of pigeon antigen showed a significant increase in pigeon breeders as compared with controls. The migration of leucocytes from affected and non-affected corkworkers, affected and non-affected pigeon fanciers and controls, in the presence of the specific antigens, showed significant results. Finally, similarities and differences in immunological behaviour of these patients are discussed.
