Transpulmonary passage of tumor cell emboli.
The following report deals with an attempt to determine whether or not tumor cell emboli pass through the lung circulation. Métastasesin many organs, such as adrenals and kidneys, are general ly derived from emboli carried in arteries. How do these emboli get into the arteries from the primary neoplasm? Do they first lodge in the lungs, form ing secondary tumors which later give off emboli int...
متن کاملDNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma
The basic unit of chromatin is a nucleosome included an octamer of the four core histones and 147 base pairs of DNA. Posttranslational histones modifications affect chromatin structure resulting in gene expression changes. CpG islands hypermethylation within the gene promoter regions and the deacetylation of histone proteins are the most common epigenetic modifications. The aberrant patterns of...

increased alveolar pressure in the fluid-filled lung. 1 0 However, in our patient, the shift was noted at a time when the lung was not filled with fluid. It appears likely that the perfusion shift we observed was a response to regional alveolar hypoxia, related to the postiavage decrement in ventilation. 1 3 ' 1 4 Sequential ventilation-perfusion scintiphotographic studies also were useful in d...
متن کاملPulmonary micro-tumor emboli resulting in paradoxical emboli: a case report
Pulmonary tumor embolism (PTE) is a rare manifestation of cancer. It is characterized by the presence of tumor cell emboli in the pulmonary arterioles and capillaries leading to an elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance. The ante-mortem diagnosis is difficult. We report a case of PTE associated with recurrent breast cancer that presented with neurological symptoms due to paradoxical cerebra...
متن کاملTumor Emboli: A Rare Cause of Acute Pulmonary Hypertension.
A 70-year old man with stage IV prostate cancer presented to our hospital with 10 days of progressive shortness of breath. He was tachycardic, tachypneic, and mildly hypoxemic. Initial blood counts, chemistry, and troponin were normal. An electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia without conduction or ischemic changes. A chest x-ray study was unremarkable. The patient was diagnosed with metast...
