In this study, a case of pulmonary aspergillosis was described in 20-day-old suckling lamb. Lamb suffering from high fever, anorexia, weakness and balance disorder brought to the Department Pathology Kafkas University Faculty Veterinary Medicine for necropsy. According anamnesis obtained animal owner, an intense random drug treatment administered animal. Following systemic necropsy animal, vari...

the present study was aimed at elucidating the protective effect of ferulic acid (fa), a natural polyphenol against nicotine-induced tissue damage, including lung, liver and kidney of experimental rats. female albino rats of wistar stain were used for the experimental study. lung toxicity was induced by subcutaneous injection of nicotine at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight (5 days a week, for 22...

Background There is a growing realization that COPD, or at least emphysema, involves several processes presenting in aging and cellular senescence. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to neovascularization and play an important role in the development of COPD. The gene for p16Ink4a is a major dominant senescence one. The aim of the present study was to observe changes in lung functio...

Suki B, Bates JH. Lung tissue mechanics as an emergent phenomenon. J Appl Physiol 110: 1111–1118, 2011. First published January 6, 2011; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.01244.2010.—The mechanical properties of lung parenchymal tissue are both elastic and dissipative, as well as being highly nonlinear. These properties cannot be fully understood, however, in terms of the individual constituents of the ...

At cardiac catheterization, 93 pulmonary wedge angiograms were performed in 85 patients with congenital heart defects. The pulmonary wedge angiogram was quantitatively analyzed and the findings were compared with hemodynamic features and morphometric assessment of lung biopsy tissue when available (27 patients). A pulmonary wedge catheter was directed into the right or left lower lobe to the or...

Lung tissue, including lung cancer and chronic lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cumulatively account for some 280,000 deaths annually; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Contributing to this mortality is the fact that lungs do not generally repair or regenerate beyond the microscopic, cellular le...

objective: free radicals generated by ionizing radiation attack various cellular components such as lipids. the lung is a very radiosensitive organ and its damage is a doselimiting factor in radiotherapy treatments. melatonin (mlt), the major product of the pineal gland acts as a radioprotective agent. this study aims to investigate the radioprotective effects of mlt on malondialdehyde (mda) le...

Abstract Exploration of cell viability and their regenerative capacity in postmortem tissues has a huge potential for tissue/organ transplantation therapies both human animals. Proliferative stem cells have been recovered from refrigerated skin tissue bovine, goat sheep, ligaments horses. However, it is not clearly known whether live proliferative can be visceral organs that stay comparatively ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the lung pathological changes in influenza A (H1N1) viral pneumonia. We studied morphological changes, nitro-oxidative stress and the presence of viral proteins in lung tissue. METHODS AND PATIENTS Light microscopy was used to examine lung tissue from 6 fatal cases of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) viral pneumonia. Fluorescence for oxidized dihydroethydium, nitrotyrosine, i...
