Hyaline membrane disease. I. Cellular changes.

Pulmonary structural changes in neonatal hyaline membrane disease treated with high pressure artificial respiration.

Can initial resuscitation of preterm babies reduce the death rate from hyaline membrane disease?

Omer, M. I. A., Robson, E., and Neligan, G. A. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 219. Can initial resuscitation of preterm babies reduce the death rate from hyaline membrane disease? Retrospective analysis of the case records of 465 babies with a birthweight between 10 kg and 2 0 kg, born during 1960-67, showed that 17 9% were described as 'blue' on arrival in the special care nurse...

Ultrastructural Changes of the Basal Lamina during the Hair Growth Cycle

The "hyaline membrane" (glassy or vitreous membrane), the noncellular layer that invests the entire hair follicle, is visible with the light microscope. During hair growth cycles (5), this membrane undergoes characteristic morphological modifications. Under the light microscope, the hyaline membrane appears thin and inconspicuous around the follicle during anagen and telogen (growing and restin...

Hyaline membrane disease. II. Lung lecithin.

Boughton, K., Gandy, G., and Gairdner, D. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 311. Hyaline membrane disease. H: Lung lecithin. The lecithin content of lung, together with its surface tension properties, were determined in 34 stillbirths, and 61 neonatal deaths. Lecithin content ranged widely from 1-5 to 18 6% of dry lung tissue. In 24 cases the 'palmitic-lecithin' was also measured; i...

The Effect of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 on a Cellular Model of Alzheimer's Disease with Emphasis on Cell Viability and Mitochondrial Membrane Potential

Background and Objective: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which is associated with extracellular accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques. AD is accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction and energy metabolism reduction. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is an endogenous polypeptide which its beneficial effects have been demonstrated on mitochondrial function, energy m...
