The neuropeptide gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) is present in the lung, and functions as a modulator of tissue growth and repair in fibrotic processes, or as a modulator of cell movement and differentiation in various inflammatory processes, including granulomatous ones. In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), changes in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) content of GRP can be expected. We measu...

The bal defect in the Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia strain was spontaneously generated in an inbred ddm1 (decrease in DNA methylation 1) mutant background in which various genetic and epigenetic alterations accumulate. The bal variant displays short stature and curled leaves due to the constitutive activation of defense signaling. These bal phenotypes are metastable and phenotypic suppression i...

We compared conventional bronchoscopic transbronchial biopsy (TBB) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) with non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (NB-BAL) in nine patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and bilateral lung infiltrates. NB-BAL was carried out with a control-tipped reusable catheter. In each patient, bronchoscopic procedures were performed in the right lung, follow...

background and purpose: invasive aspergillosis (ia) is one of the most common life-threatening fungal infections among the critically ill patients including intensive care unit (icu) patients. delayed diagnosis and therapy may lead to poor outcomes. diagnosis may be facilitated by a test for molecular biomarkers, i.e. detection of galactomannan (gm) antigen based on enzyme immunoassay, which is...

Introduction Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia (BL/BAL) is the most common lymphoma in children, and sporadic subtype dominant Chinese populations. MYC gene translocations are essential for BL/BAL (sBL/BAL), but other mutations also play important roles sBL/BAL. Material methods Clinical data of ten children with sBL/BAL were collected, next generation sequencing tumor tissues was carried out. Cases BL...
