Fiber length and diameter are important factors in the pathogenicity of asbestos. We examined the relative toxicity of long and short crocidolite asbestos fibers in vitro and in vivo. Both long and short crocidolite asbestos fibers were toxic to elicited macrophages in vitro. Similar to native crocidolite asbestos, long and short Tibers stimulated the release of reactive oxygen metabolites from...

Paraovarian cysts originate from the mesothelium and are presumed to be remnants of M?llerian or Wolffian ducts. In majority cases they found 10-80 mm in diameter do not cause any symptoms. can unexpectedly during an operation on ultrasound examination performed for other reasons. They most freequently discovered examination. However, due proximity ovary which cystic formations rare, diagnosis ...

Therefore, the study of pathomorphological component this problem important for selection adequate surgical conservative therapy disease.The aim to research changes in peritoneum patients with acute determine basic patterns adhesions.Material methods. The covered 117 operated various diseases peritoneal cavity...

The diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma in serosal effusions continues to be a major challenge because some of its cytomorphological features closely resemble adenocarcinomas. Immunohistochemistry is a valuable tool in the differentiation of epithelioid mesothelioma from metastatic adenocarcinomas. However, no single antibody has demonstrated absolute sensitivity or specificity. In this study, ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the histological and morphological changes in the first two postoperative weeks on a rat intraperitoneal adhesion model induced by duodenum clamping trauma. METHOD The rat model of postoperative intraperitoneal adhesions was established in 48 male Wistar rats by laparotomy, followed by the duodenum clamping trauma. Rats were sacrificed re...

Prolonged exposure of the peritoneal mesothelium to high dialysate glucose concentrations reduces anionic sites that are critical to its selective permeability, thereby impairing the peritoneal transport properties in patients on long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). Perlecan, an anionic heparan sulfate proteoglycan, is pivotal to the selective permeability of basement membranes, and high glucose...

Abstract Background and Aims Solute transport across cellular levels is mediated by paracellular transcellular pores, channels carriers. Knowledge on their cell specific expression, regulation function in peritoneal dialysis (PD) limited. Method Polarized primary (HPMC) immortalized human mesothelial (MeT-5A), microvascular (HCMEC) umbilical vein endothelial (HUVEC) cells underwent RNA sequenci...
