Lipid peroxidation and pulmonary hyaline membranes of the newborn: a histochemical, fluorescent microscopic and ultrastructural study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Representative portions of lung from 17 newborn infants with hyaline membrane disease were studied. The consistent findings in the hyaline membranes of Schiff's positivity requiring periodic acid pretreatment, their autofluorescence between 350 and 400 nm, and the granular ultrastructure of the membrane matrix provided morphologic evidence for lipid peroxidation's having occurred in association with the genesis of pulmonary hyaline membranes of the newborn.

Plasma Proteins in Hyaline Membranes
Hyaline membrane disease of the newborn has been a subject of ever-growing interest to paediatricians and pathologists as it is the major cause of death in newborn babies, particularly premature ones. Much more is known of the clinical picture and physiological changes in hyaline membrane disease, or respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn (Avery, 1962; Curtis, 1957; James, 1959; Miller, 1...
متن کاملThe Nature of the Neonatal Pulmonary Hyaline Membrane
Hyaline membranes are seen in the lungs of nearly one-third of prematurely born infants who die after birth at the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne. The nature of the membranes has been discussed often in the literature (Farber and Wilson, 1932; Tregillus, 1951; Claireaux, 1953; Bruns and Shields, 1954; Gilmer and Hand, 1955; Lendrum, 1955; Lynch and Mellor, 1955; Stevenson and Laufe, 1955; Gi...

AIMS To document the morphology, immunohistochemical staining properties, and ultrastructural features of hyaline material in Sertoli cell nodules of undescended testis and contrast them with those of sex cord tumour with annular tubules (SCTAT), which is histologically similar. To highlight the need to distinguish these nodules from other Sertoli cell hyperplasias, such as intratubular Sertoli...
متن کاملPulmonary hyalinizing granuloma. Electron microscopic and immunologic studies.
We present a case of pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG). On light microscopy, the pulmonary nodular lesions consisted of extracellular, eosinophilic hyaline lamellae. Histochemical stains of the hyaline lamellae for amyloid were focally positive and the diagnosis of amyloidosis was seriously considered; however, on electron microscopic examination, the hyaline lamellae consisted of electrond...
