Human alveolar capillaries undergo angiogenesis in pulmonary veno-occlusive disease.
The bronchial circulation undergoes angiogenesis in several pathological conditions, such as lung neoplasm and bronchiectasis, but whether the pulmonary circulation can do this has been questioned. A woman treated with mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil developed progressive, fatal pulmonary hypertension over 5 months. In addition to light and transmission electron microscopic examination of her lu...
متن کاملModulation of brain tumor capillaries for enhanced drug delivery selectively to brain tumor.
BACKGROUND The blood-brain tumor barrier (BTB) significantly impedes delivery of most hydrophilic molecules to brain tumors. Several promising strategies, however, have been developed to overcome this problem. METHODS We discuss several drug delivery methods to brain tumor, including intracerebroventricular, convection enhanced delivery, BBB/BTB disruption, and BTB permeability modulation, wh...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygenation in fluid microembolism.
Because clinicians require objectively demonstrable neurological deficits to confirm a diagnosis, the recognition of embolic events in the nervous system is generally restricted to the effects of ischemic necrosis produced by arterial occlusion. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown that lesser degrees of damage associated with small emboli are common, especially in the mid brain,...
متن کاملLeukocyte margination in alveolar capillaries: interrelationship with functional capillary geometry and microhemodynamics.
The pulmonary capillary microvasculature harbors a large pool of intravascularly marginated leukocytes. In this study, we investigated the interrelationship of leukocyte margination with characteristics of functional capillary geometry and microhemodynamics in alveolar capillary networks. In 22 anesthetized rabbits we assessed functional capillary density, average capillary length, red blood ce...
متن کاملAngiogenic switching in the alveolar capillaries in primary lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
The status of angiogenic switching was examined in alveolar capillaries of primary lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) from 10 patients and primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from 11 patients, using immunostaining for CD31, thrombomodulin, von Willebrand factor (vWF), collagen types IV and VII, and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA). We applied the TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assay and the ...
