The impact of retinoic acid (All Trans Retinoic Acid; ATRA) and Mold spores (MLD) in the development of lung pathology and in vivo tissue remodeling have not been well established in the literature. In addition, the role of citral (inhibitor of retinoid function) in the improvement of lung pathology has not been ascertained in animal studies. Therefore, it is hypothesized that ATRA and Mold (ML...

The impact of retinoic acid (All Trans Retinoic Acid; ATRA) in the development of lung pathology and tissue remodeling are not well established in the literature. As well, the role of citral (inhibitor of retinoid function) in the improvement of lung pathology was not ascertained under an in vivo setting. Therefore, it is hypothesized that ATRA and ovalbumin exposure will sensitize lung tissues...

The respiratory pathophysiology of A2 influenza infection was studied in mice treated with small-particle aerosols (SPA) of rimantadine or ribavirin. Untreated infections in mice resulted in survival rates of 15% or less and were characterized by (i) severe hypoventilation (decreased P(O2) and increased P(CO2)), (ii) compensated respiratory acidosis (increased P(CO2) and HCO(3) (-), with normal...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE At present, the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of peripheral solitary pulmonary lesions is a hot-spot in researches of thoracic imageology, and bronchial changes is the morphologic basis of peripheral solitary pulmonary nodules, especially peripheral lung cancer. This study was to investigate the value of multi-slice CT (MSCT) in evaluating bronchial changes of peri...

Methods of isolation and analysis of dust from pneumoconiotic lungs are reviewed, and the results of lung dust analyses for different forms of pneumoconiosis are presented. A tentative classification separates beryllium, aluminium, abrasive fume, and asbestos, which cause interstitial or disseminated fibrosis from quartz, coal, haematite, talc, kaolin, and other dusts, which cause a nodular or ...

papillary thyroid carcinoma (ptc) is one of the most commonly diagnosed types of differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid. it is stated that lung is the most common site of metastasis followed by bone. the incidence of paranasal sinus (pns) metastasis is fairly uncommon in case of thyroid carcinoma. to the best of our knowledge, no case of metastatic ptc to nasal cavity has been reported. in thi...

Epidemiology of lung involvement in autoimmune myositis Th e interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) encompass a large number of distinct disorders that are characterized by infl ammation and/or fi brosis involving the lung parenchyma. Th ese disorders result from a myriad of potential etiologies including medications, environmental exposures and autoimmune diseases such as myositis. Regardless of et...
