Lung mast cells in plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy.
The numbers of mast cells/mm2 of lung parenchyma were counted in four controls, 15 cases of primary plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy (PPA), and 17 cases in which the arteriopathy was secondary to congenital heart disease, to determine if increased numbers occur in PPA and with what stage of disease they might be associated. Considerable accumulations of lung mast cells may occur in this diseas...
متن کاملPlexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy and liver cirrhosis.
Primary pulmonary hypertension with plexiform vascular changes in the lungs and liver cirrhosis is a rare combination of unclear pathogenesis. Until now, the real prevalence has not been known. The diagnosis of this association is usually made retrospectively. The criteria are morphological--that is, right ventricular hypertrophy and the characteristic pulmonary arterial lesions, as well as cli...
متن کاملAdding complexity to plexogenic arteriopathy.
In a landmark paper in the field of pulmonary hypertension research, Donald Heath and Jesse Edwards, in 1958, described the pulmonary vascular pathology that accompanies severe forms of pulmonary hypertension [1]. Examining lung tissue samples from patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease and patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (now called idiopathi...
متن کاملLung mast cells and hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.
Hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) is a syndrome characterized by the increase of pulmonary vascular tone and the structural remodeling of peripheral pulmonary arteries. Mast cells have an important role in many inflammatory diseases and they are also involved in tissue remodeling. Tissue hypoxia is associated with mast cell activation and the release of proteolytic enzymes, angiogenic and gr...
