membrane, and are just wide enough to allow the passage of red blood cells, one cell at a time. The alveoli are lined with specialized epithelial cells termed Type I pneumocytes. Interspersed among these cells are surfactant-producing Type II pneumocytes. Within the alveolar wall, pneumocytes are separated from endothelial cells by their associated basement membranes and a potential stromal spa...
متن کاملMetformin Protects Against Radiation-Induced Heart Injury and Attenuates the Up-regulation of Dual Oxidase Genes Following Rat’s Chest Irradiation
Radiation-induced heart toxicity is one of the serious side effects after a radiation disaster or radiotherapy for patients with chest cancers, leading to a reduction in the quality of life of the patients. Evidence has shown that infiltration of inflammatory cells plays a key role in the development of functional damages to the heart via chronic up-regulation of some pro-fibrotic and pro-infl...
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 کاملRadiation-induced valvular heart disease.
Radiation to the mediastinum is a key component of treatment with curative intent for a range of cancers including Hodgkin's lymphoma and breast cancer. Exposure to radiation is associated with a risk of radiation-induced heart valve damage characterised by valve fibrosis and calcification. There is a latent interval of 10-20 years between radiation exposure and development of clinically signif...
