متن کاملChitotriosidase in the Pathogenesis of Inflammation, Interstitial Lung Diseases and COPD
As a member of 18 glycosyl hydrolase (GH) family, chitotriosidase (Chitinase 1, CHIT1) is a true chitinase mainly expressed in the differentiated and polarized macrophages. CHIT1 is an innate immune mediator that digests the cell walls of chitin-containing eukaryotic pathogens, such as fungi. However, CHIT1 is dysregulated in granulomatous and fibrotic interstitial lung diseases characterized b...
متن کاملLeft ventricular dysfunction in patients with interstitial lung diseases.
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with advanced interstitial lung disease (ILD) and the relationship between LV function and factors limiting physical activity. In 2005-2006, 40 patients with end stage ILD were admitted with qualifications for lung transplantation (LT). From this group, 18 patients (7 women, 11 men) were...
متن کاملOxidized BAL fluid proteins in patients with interstitial lung diseases.
Oxygen-derived free radicals, released by phagocytic cells, have been postulated to contribute to lung tissue damage. We therefore investigated oxidative damage to proteins from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) as an indicator of oxidative stress and to assess antioxidant defences in the lungs. We examined BAL fluids from patients with interstitial lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary...
متن کاملAnti-endothelial cell antibodies in patients with interstitial lung diseases.
BACKGROUND Anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) are circulating antibodies that bind to endothelial antigens and induce endothelial cell damage. AECA have been detected in patients with collagen vascular disease (CVD) and their presence is associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) in cases of CVD. However, the prevalence of AECA in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs...
