Deep pulmonary lymphatics in immature lungs.
Recently, we found that the translocation of inhaled nanoparticles from the air space to secondary organs is age dependent and substantially greater in neonates than in adults (J Respir Crit Care Med 177: A48, 2008). One reason for this difference might be age-dependent differences in alveolar barrier integrity. Because the neonate lung is undergoing morphogenetic and fluid balance changes, we ...
متن کاملPulmonary Lymphatics and Edema Accumulation
In a past study of hyperoxia-induced lung injury, extensive lymphatic filling occurred that could have resulted from lymphatic proliferation or simple lymphatic recruitment. This study sought to determine if brief lung injury could produce similar changes, to show which lymphatic compartments fill with edema, and to compare their three-dimensional structure. Tracheostomized rats were ventilated...
متن کاملRole of pulmonary lymphatics in chronic pulmonary edema.
• Clinically, the development of pulmonary edema is frequently associated with an elevation of left atrial pressure. However, overt pulmonary edema does not always occur with such pressure elevations, even when the plasma oncotic pressure is greatly exceeded. It is conceivable that a dilatation of the pulmonary lymphatic system might remove fluid from the lung and prevent, or delay, the develop...
متن کاملLymphatics in lymphangioleiomyomatosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
The primary function of the lymphatic system is absorbing and transporting macromolecules and immune cells to the general circulation, thereby regulating fluid, nutrient absorption and immune cell trafficking. Lymphangiogenesis plays an important role in tissue inflammation and tumour cell dissemination. Lymphatic involvement is seen in lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and idiopathic pulmonary fi...
متن کاملPulmonary endocrine cells in anthracosilicotic lungs.
It has been suggested by some studies of human and animal lungs that the products of pulmonary endocrine cells, particularly gastrin-releasing peptide, might play a role in fibrogenesis, but more recent detailed studies of fibrotic human lungs have failed to confirm this. We have made a detailed quantitative examination of a series of fibrotic human lungs to see if we could determine whether th...
