pulmonary alveolar proteinosis/アルブミン

Whole-lung lavage (WLL) remains the standard therapy for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), a process in which accumulated surfactants are washed out of the lung with 0.5-2.0 l of saline aliquots for 10-30 wash cycles. The method has been established empirically. In contrast, the kinetics of

The oxidation of proteins may play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory lung diseases, and may contribute to lung damage. However, the extent of oxidation and the distribution among proteins are not known for most pediatric lung diseases. In this work, protein oxidation was

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded lungs exhibiting a variety of nonmalignant disorders were studied by immunoperoxidase staining using antibodies specific for surfactant apoprotein, IgG, IgM, IgA, albumin, fibrinogen, and lysozyme. Normal Type II pneumocytes showed staining for surfactant apoprotein

Neodymium is a future-oriented material due to its unique properties, and its use is increasing in various industrial fields worldwide. However, the toxicity caused by repeated exposure to this metal has not been studied in detail thus far. The present study was carried out to investigate the
