Pulmonary Ultrastructure in Neonatal Hyaline
of lungs obtained at necropsy from 44 children at or above the 50th centile dying from non-pulmonary causes were described. In the present paper some results from the analysis of 92 further pressure-volume curves are described. These were compared with the theoretically normal values according to total body length, by dividing the observed value by the theoretically normal one. This was done fo...
متن کاملTomographic three-dimensional reconstruction of cilia ultrastructure from thick sections.
We have applied a computer-based tomographic technique to reconstruct the three-dimensional ultrastructure of newt lung cilia. Epon-embedded samples were cut into 0.25-micron-thick sections that were imaged at 1 MV with a high-voltage electron microscope. For the reconstruction shown, a tilt series of 53 micrographs was taken at tilt angles between -54 degrees and +50 degrees. The reconstructio...
متن کاملImmotile cilia syndrome: a new cause of neonatal respiratory distress.
Kartagener's syndrome is a condition that consists of situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and sinusitis. Some patients have respiratory symptoms that date from early infancy, and electron microscopical examination has shown that adults with this condition lack dynein arms in ciliary microtubules. It has been suggested that an inherited defect in ciliary ultrastructure, the immotile cilia, is the b...
متن کاملVariations in the ultrastructure of human nasal cilia including abnormalities found in retinitis pigmentosa.
The electron microscopic structure of cilia from the inferior turbinate of the nose was studied in 12 adults, four with chronic sinusitis, one with allergic rhinitis, two with bronchiectasis, three with deviated nasal septum, and two normals. The changes are compared with those found in nasal cilia in 14 patients with retinitis pigmentosa. There were compound cilia in the seven cases with chron...
متن کاملCCDC65 Mutation Causes Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia with Normal Ultrastructure and Hyperkinetic Cilia
BACKGROUND Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by impaired ciliary function, leading to chronic sinopulmonary disease. The genetic causes of PCD are still evolving, while the diagnosis is often dependent on finding a ciliary ultrastructural abnormality and immotile cilia. Here we report a novel gene associated with PCD but without ciliary ultrastructural abnorma...
