background: in many cases of ild (interstitial lung disease), overlap diagnosis is considered. here, a few cases with diagnosis of a variety of ilds, where eventual open lung biopsy has been performed are selected. reference will be made to reliable sources to show that nsip can still be a variant of uip (usual interstitial pneumonia) with better treatment response and prognosis. case presentat...

amiodarone is used in treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. therapeutic use of amiodarone is limited by its side effects, including pulmonary toxicity. human placenta extract (hpe) contains a variety of bio-active substances. thus, the present study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the protective effects of hpe on the structural lung changes induced by amiodarone using stereological methods. spragu...

objective (s): there is corroborating evidence to substantiate redox imbalance and oxidative stress in sepsis that finally leads to organ damage or even death. gamma oryzanol (go) is one of the major bioactive components in rice bran has been considered to function as an antioxidant. the present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activity of gamma oryzanol in vitro and its effica...

Background: Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) can improve radiotherapy (RT) results by improving healthy tissue sparing. Additionally, IMRT provides more consistent dose deliveries and suppresses secondary tumor formation. RT is a principal treatment in breast cancer (BC). Aim: To evaluate the outcome of the Radiotherapy Plans (RTP) that use IMRT technique to left breast and other organs,...

Background: Broilers lung mechanisms that regulate endothelin (ET) in the lung are complex and poorly understood. Objectives: Methods: In this experiment lung ET-1 mRNA levels and lung mRNA expression for the ET(A) receptors were determined in lung tissue weekly (term = 42 days, intervals = 7 days). Serum endothelin concentration was also measured at these ages. Results: The study showed that e...

After sudden death with a history of about two weeks ruminal tympany, a 3-year-old, male alpaca from Huantaiqi Zoo, Chongqing, China was presented to the Animal Diseases Rapid Diagnosis Center, Southwest University, Chongqing, China for diagnosis of the death causes. At necropsy, the primary pathological lesions were found in the lung. A pronounced hemorrhage with topical congestion and lobular...

BACKGROUND Oral taxa are often found in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) lung microbiota, but it is not clear if this is due to a physiologic process such as aspiration or experimental contamination at the time of specimen collection. METHODS Microbiota samples were obtained from nine subjects with mild or moderate COPD by swabbing lung tissue and upper airway sites during lun...

Morpho structural change of lung tissue due to the degree its maturation should be accompanied by a in peripheral blood flow, and therefore we set goal determining characteristics flow fetuses with different degrees maturity.

objective(s):  the field of nanotechnology is rapidly expanding .the development quantum dots quantum dot (qds), show great promise for treatment and diagnosis of cancer and targeted drug delivery little data on the toxicity of qds, especially for in vivo applications, are available. as a result, concerns exist over their toxicity for in vivo applications. then, cytotoxic effects of cadmium sel...
