Gene Expression Profiling of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Cells Preceding a Clinical Diagnosis of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction
BACKGROUND Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) is the main limitation to long-term survival after lung transplantation. Although CLAD is usually not responsive to treatment, earlier identification may improve treatment prospects. METHODS In a nested case control study, 1-year post transplant surveillance bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples were obtained from incipient CLAD (n = 9...
متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation and Classification of Cells from Broncho Alveolar Lavage
Broncho alveolar lavage is the most commonly used diagnostic tool for confirming alveolar hemorrhage. Golde has introduced a ranking score, based on the hemosiderin content of macrophages which enables ranking cells from 0 to 4 based on the degree of Prussian blue stain. We propose a complete image analysis scheme to automatically perform both the extraction of the cellular objects and the rank...
متن کاملYellow Broncho-alveolar Lavage Fluid in Eosinophilic Pneumonia
A 34-year-old man with bronchial asthma was introduced to our clinic because his blood tests showed a white blood cell count of 25,200/μL with a differential of 70% eosinophils, and chest computed tomography revealed nonsegmental multi-lobar consolidation. Bronchoscopy was performed and yellow broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected (Picture 1). The supernatant of BALF was still yell...
متن کاملRegulatory T Cell Subtypes and TGF-β1 Gene Expression in Chronic Allograft Dysfunction
Background: Regulatory T cells have been suggested to have a protective role against acute rejection in allograft recipients. However, there is little information available about their contribution to chronic rejection process. The role of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF- β1) as a profibrogenic and/or immunoregulatory cytokine in renal allografts is also controversial. Objectives: To eva...
متن کاملComparison of GeneXpert MTB/RIF Assay in Broncho Alveolar Lavage and Gastric Lavage Samples
Objective: To compare the yield from Gastric lavage (GL) and Broncho alveolar lavage (BAL) samples in adult patients suspected case of Tuberculosis but not producing sputum. Methodology: 80 adults with suspected case of tuberculosis but not producing sputum were recruited. 72 patients were then subjected to one gastric lavage followed by Broncho-alveolar lavage in the same morning. The collecte...
