متن کاملCharacterization of Porcine Aortic Valvular Interstitial Cell ‘Calcified’ Nodules
Valve interstitial cells populate aortic valve cusps and have been implicated in aortic valve calcification. Here we investigate a common in vitro model for aortic valve calcification by characterizing nodule formation in porcine aortic valve interstitial cells (PAVICs) cultured in osteogenic (OST) medium supplemented with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1). Using a combination of mater...
متن کاملPulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma accompanied by bilateral multiple calcified nodules in lung
Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare vascular tumor. It can present either as one solitary nodule or bilateral multiple nodules, usually without calcification. We describe here an unusual case of PEH in a 42-year-old female with a 6.0 cm dominant mass along with bilateral multiple calcified small nodules measuring 0.2-1.0 cm in diameter with a 25-year plus followup history...
متن کاملMycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae in calcified nodules of aortic stenotic valves.
Aortic Valve Stenosis (AVS) has been explained as an atherosclerotic process of the valve as they often exhibit inflammatory changes with infiltration of macrophages, T lymphocytes and lipid infiltration. The present study investigated whether the bacteria Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), detected previously in atherosclerotic plaques, are also present in AVS. Ten valve...
متن کاملSignificance of non-calcified pulmonary nodules in patients with extrapulmonary cancers.
BACKGROUND This study sought to determine the rate and patterns of malignancy in patients with extrapulmonary cancers and non-calcified pulmonary nodules, and to develop a statistical model to guide clinicians regarding choice of patients for diagnostic biopsy. METHOD The medical records of 151 patients evaluated at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center between January 1999 and December ...
