Mycobacterium gordonae-induced humidifier lung
BACKGROUND Nontuberculous mycobacteria are well known to be a cause of hot tub lung, however, to our knowledge, there exists no case report of humidifier lung induced by mycobacteria. CASE PRESENTATION A case of a nonimmunocompromised female patient with Mycobacterium gordonae-induced humidifier lung is described. She spontaneously recovered after discontinuing ultrasonic humidifier use. When...
متن کاملAutotaxin and Endotoxin-Induced Acute Lung Injury
Acute Lung Injury (ALI) is a life-threatening, diffuse heterogeneous lung injury characterized by acute onset, pulmonary edema and respiratory failure. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a common cause of both direct and indirect lung injury and when administered to a mouse induces a lung phenotype exhibiting some of the clinical characteristics of human ALI. Here, we report that LPS inhalation in mic...
متن کاملEstablishment of a rat model of radiation-induced lung injury
Background: Radiation-induced lung injury is a refractory side effect in lung cancer radiotherapy, the mechanism still remains unclear, hence an appropriate animal mode may become useful to investigate it. Materials and Methods: 50 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, average 10 rats/cage: A. control group B. 3Gy×10f C. 6Gy×5f D. 12.5Gy×1f E.15.3Gy×1f....
متن کاملProtective effects of isoflurane pretreatment in endotoxin-induced lung injury.
BACKGROUND The concept of antiinflammatory effects of volatile anesthetics is well established in vitro and in some organ systems. Their protective role in lung injury, however, remains to be elucidated. The authors hypothesized that in the lung, isoflurane pretreatment may attenuate neutrophil infiltration and reduce endotoxin-induced injury. METHODS Male C57Bl/6 mice were exposed to aerosol...
متن کاملEffect of diabetes mellitus on endotoxin-induced lung injury.
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of diabetes mellitus on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pulmonary edema and alveolar neutrophil recruitment and activation. HYPOTHESIS Zucker diabetic fatty rats are resistant to the effects of intratracheal LPS on the extravasation of plasma proteins into the lungs. DESIGN Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats (genotype fa/fa) were used as a model of diabetes m...
