Background and objectiveThis study was designed to determine the effects of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐gamma (PPARγ) on airway inflammatory response to cigarette smoke (CS) exposure.
MethodsFor the in vivo experiments, 50 male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups and were exposed to CS and pretreatment with a PPARγ agonist, rosiglitazone or a vehicle (saline)....

This study was designed to evaluate the impact of liquid‐based cytology test (LBC) on the diagnostic yield from TBNA.
Methods: Ninety‐seven consecutive patients who underwent TBNA due...
