Effect of the alveolar type ii cells transplantation for the treatment of acute lung injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Acute lung injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) are a clinical manifestation of respiratory failure caused by a response of the lung to local or systemic injury [1]. Damage of alveolar barrier is a critical event in the early stage of ALI/ARDS. Currently there is no effective treatment for this disease. Alveolar type II cells (ATII) are implicated in the alveoli reparation [2] and the transplant of these cells could be a promising ALI treatment.

Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a relentlessly progressive and usually fatal lung disease of unknown etiology for which no effective treatments currently exist. In the adults type I and II pneumocytes, forms Components of the alveolar epithelial cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of thalidomide on the alveolar epithelial cells (type I and II pneumocytes) in ...

Purpose: The effects of Amiodarone on lung tissue and morphologic changes of alveolar cells. Materials and Methods: in this study, we used 21 mature male rabbits and they were divided into control and two experimental groups. Daily 80 mg/kg amiodarone was injected intra peritoneally to the experimental animals for one or two weeks. The control group received normal saline the same dose as amio...

Objective(s): Asiaticoside (AS) displays anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis effect, but the role of AS in hyperoxia-induced lung injury (HILI) treatment is undefined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of AS on HILI on premature rats and alveolar type II (AEC II) cells.Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley...

Introduction: Spinal cord injuries (SCI) lead to permanent irreversible functional deficits. Poor prognosis of patients is the motivation of searching a treatment for the chronic injury. Planting stem cells provides us with a promising strategy. In the meanwhile, the use of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) has shown very good results. This study aims at evaluating the effe...

Objective(s): To investigate the protective effect of S-nitrosoglutathione (SNG) pretreatment on acute lung injury (ALI) in septic rats. Materials and Methods: We constructed a rat model of sepsis by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP), and randomly divided into Sham, CLP, and CLP+SNG (0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg) groups. We used H&E; staining an...
