In vitro bioelectric properties of bronchial epithelium from transplanted lungs in recipients with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND--Bronchial epithelial function after heart-lung transplantation (HLT) for cystic fibrosis (CF) may be affected by the original disease as well as other factors such as prolonged organ ischaemic time, the interruption of bronchial arterial and lymphatic supply, infection, rejection, and cyclosporin. In vitro measurement of the bioelectric properties of the bronchial mucosal lining may...
متن کاملRecurrence of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in transplanted lungs.
BACKGROUND Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a distinctive subtype of typical adenocarcinoma of the lung that tends to metastasize widely throughout the lungs but less commonly elsewhere. Because conventional therapies for intrapulmonary metastatic bronchioloalveolar carcinoma are generally ineffective, we treated seven patients who had intrapulmonary metastatic bronchioloalveolar carcinoma with ...
متن کاملCiliary beat frequency in transplanted lungs.
BACKGROUND Patients with lung transplantation are prone to respiratory infections. Generally this is attributable to the effects of immunosuppressive drugs but mucociliary clearance has been found to be impaired in these subjects. A study was performed to determine whether this finding is accompanied by a reduction in ciliary beat frequency (CBF). METHODS Six patients who had undergone single...

PATIENT CONCERNS A 41-year-old woman underwent a second bilateral lung transplantation that was complicated by fatal pulmonary tuberculosis.

متن کاملMorphology of non-ventilated transplanted rat lungs.
Morphological changes in lung tissue of heterotopic heart-lung transplants have been studied 28 days following transplantation in 20 rats. Lung tissue showed disperse haemorrhagic necrosis often sparing bronchi and branches of pulmonary artery and conspicuous accumulation of bronchial secretion. Partial disappearance of cardiac muscle cells from the walls of pulmonary veins has been ascribed to...
