lbuterol Improves Impaired Mucociliary Clearance After ung Transplantation
ackground: Previous studies have shown that mucociliary clearance (MCC) is diminished after lung transplantation. However, it is unknown how early this deficit occurs after transplantation, or whether the abnormality can be improved by pharmacologic means. We hypothesized that impairment of MCC is evident soon after lung transplantation and that the defect in MCC can be improved by inhaled 2-ad...
متن کاملLung function changes after allogenic bone marrow transplantation.
The lung function of 21 patients with leukaemia (11 with acute myeloid leukaemia, six with acute lymphatic leukaemia, four with chronic myeloid leukaemia) and of five with severe aplastic anaemia was tested before and after allogenic bone marrow transplantation. Vital capacity (VC) was lowered in patients with leukaemia before transplantation. VC and FEV1 fell significantly after transplantatio...
متن کاملDiastolic function after cardiac and heart-lung transplantation.
The mechanical efficiency of left ventricular contraction and relaxation, the asynchrony of the onset of left ventricular relaxation, the time constant of left ventricular isovolumic pressure decay, and left ventricular chamber and myocardial stiffness were analysed in 32 patients after cardiac (24) and heart-lung transplantation (8). After cardiac transplantation left ventricular myocardial st...
متن کاملLung rejection after transplantation.
With the introduction of Cyclosporine as an immunosuppressive agent, combined heart and lung transplantation (HLTx) became an effective treatment for severe pulmonary vascular disease [1] and has been extended successfully to treat end-stage lung disease [2] and cystic fibrosis [3, 4]. Single lung transplantation offers a treatment for cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis [5]. It was initially beli...
متن کاملRejection after Lung Transplantation?
How does the body recognize the donor lung as different? Your body’s natural immune cells are able to recognize small, unique proteins called “antigens” that are present on the surface of all cells or infectious particles. These immune cells, called the T cells and the B cells, can recognize the antigens as “self” if they belong to you or “non-self” if they do not belong to you (such as those i...
