By using the newly developed adhesive tumor cell culture system, we analyzed the chromosomal constitutions of primary lung tumor and nonmalignant normal lung tissue from 10 previously untreated patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Chromosomal analyses were successfully carried out in banded chromosome preparations from 10 tumor and 8 normal lung tissue samples. All analyzed tumor and norma...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the oxidative damage to lung tissue and peripherial blood in PM2.5-treated rats. METHODS PM2.5 samples were collected using an auto-sampling instrument in summer and winter. Treated samples were endotracheally instilled into rats. Activity of reduced glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) were used as oxidative damage biomarkers of ...

Themortality andmorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are high. However, no radical therapy has been developed to date. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether fetal mouse lung tissue can grow and differentiate in the emphysematous lung. Fetal lung tissue from green fluorescent protein C57BL/6 mice at 16 days’ gestation was used as donor material. Twelve-month-old pallid ...

Measurement of lesion elasticity with transthoracic shear wave ultrasound could be a valuable tool, in addition to CT and grayscale ultrasound, differentiate between benign malignant tissue guide biopsy peripheral subpleural lung lesionshttps://bit.ly/36RjoZV

Background: Radiation‐induced acute lung damages are refractory side effects in lung cancer radiotherapy (RT). Prospective study investigates the possible role of piperine (Pip) as anti-inflammatory agent against γ-rays-induced lung tissue lesions in an applicable rat model. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: Control, rats were administered...

Cutaneous lung tissue heterotopia is a very rare disorder where mature lung tissues develop in the skin. This is only the second known report of cutaneous lung tissue heterotopia, with the first by Singer et al. in 1998. A newborn infant had a hemangioma-like, freely movable mass connected to the anterior aspect of the sternal manubrium. Pathologic findings showed mature lung tissues with bronc...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite emergence highly effective targeted therapies, up to 30% advanced stage non-small cell lung (NSCLC) patients do not undergo tissue molecular testing because scarce availability. Liquid biopsy, on other hand, offers these a valuable opportunity receive best treatment options in timely manner. Indeed, besides being much faster and less ...
