USE OF SPUTUM AND ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING FOR CBD SURVEILLANCE AND MONITORING

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 接触铍的工人或与铍有关的疾病患者被邀请参加一项关于铍暴露的研究，该研究测量了他们诱导痰中的铍暴露。我们还试图测量工人过去或现在接触铍的量与他或她的痰中铍颗粒的量是否相似。我们正在对1)做这件事。找到一种测试，可以告诉我们一个人是否患有与铍有关的肺部疾病，而不需要进行侵入性程序，如支气管镜检查和2)。以确定痰是否可以用来测量铍的暴露。大约有103人将在国家犹太人学校注册参加这项研究。以色列将再招收92人，使这项研究总共招收195人。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Workers with exposure to beryllium or patients with beryllium related disease are being invited to take part in a research study of beryllium exposure as measured in their induced sputum. We are also trying to measure if there is similarity between the amount of past or present exposure to beryllium a worker has (or had) and the amount of beryllium particles in his or her sputum. We are doing this to 1). find a test that can tell us if a person has beryllium-related lung disease without needing to do an invasive procedure, such as bronchoscopy and 2). to determine if sputum can be used to measure exposure to beryllium. Approximately 103 people will be enrolling in this study at National Jewish. Ninety-two (92) more people will be enrolled in Israel, making a total of 195 individuals enrolled in total in this study.
