Increases in lung expansion alter pulmonary hemodynamics in fetal sheep.
Prolonged increases in fetal lung expansion stimulate fetal lung growth and development, but the effects on pulmonary hemodynamics are unknown. Our aim was to determine the effect of increased fetal lung expansion, induced by tracheal obstruction (TO), on pulmonary blood flow (PBF) and vascular resistance (PVR). Chronically catheterized fetal sheep (n = 6) underwent TO from 120 to 127 days of g...
متن کاملDecidual-Secreted Factors Alter Invasive Trophoblast Membrane and Secreted Proteins Implying a Role for Decidual Cell Regulation of Placentation
Inadequate or inappropriate implantation and placentation during the establishment of human pregnancy is thought to lead to first trimester miscarriage, placental insufficiency and other obstetric complications. To create the placental blood supply, specialized cells, the 'extravillous trophoblast' (EVT) invade through the differentiated uterine endometrium (the decidua) to engraft and remodel ...
متن کاملPulmonary Large-Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
Lung neuroendocrine tumors are a heterogeneous sub-type of pulmonary cancers representing approximately 20% of all lung cancers, including small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). The frequency appears to be approximately 3% for LCNEC. Diagnosis of LCNEC requires attention to neuroendocrine features by light microscopy and confirmation by immunohistochemica...
متن کاملAstrocyte-Secreted Factors Selectively Alter Neural Stem and Progenitor Cell Proliferation in the Fragile X Mouse
UNLABELLED An increasing body of evidence indicates that astrocytes contribute to the governance and fine tuning of stem and progenitor cell production during brain development. The effect of astrocyte function in cell production in neurodevelopmental disorders is unknown. We used the Neural Colony Forming Cell assay to determine the effect of astrocyte conditioned media (ACM) on the generation...
متن کاملBeta-adrenergic agonists increase lung liquid clearance in anesthetized sheep.
We did experiments to determine whether beta-adrenergic agonists increase lung liquid clearance in anesthetized ventilated adult sheep and, if so, whether the increase is mediated by beta receptors and what mechanism is involved. We instilled 100 ml of autologous serum either alone or with a beta-adrenergic agonist (terbutaline, 10(-5) M, or epinephrine, 5.5 X 10(-6) M) into one lower lobe. Aft...
