pneumoconiosis/tyrosine

Content of hydroxyproline, thyrosine, hexuronic acids, hexoses and dry weight of lungs were studied in animals with pneumoconiosis, caused by various agents: two types of silicosis, induced by crystalline and condensed modifications of silica, and anthracosis, caused by anthracite. The data obtained

Objective: To observe the effect of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) on silica (SiO(2))-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats, and to explore the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway in pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: A rat model

Welders with radiographic pneumoconiosis abnormalities have shown a gradual clearing of the X-ray identified effects following removal from exposure. In some cases, the pulmonary fibrosis associated with welding fumes appears in a more severe form in welders. Accordingly, for the early detection of

Miliary shadows on chest imaging have wide differential diagnoses. The most common etiology is infectious, such as miliary tuberculosis (TB) and histoplasmosis, but miliary shadows can be the presentation of sarcoidosis, pneumoconiosis, and secondary metastasis to the lungs from primary cancers of

BACKGROUND Advances in epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment led to research on the mechanism of the resistance have revealed that an occurrence of T790M gene mutation generated in exon 20 of the EGFR gene is associated with approximately 50% to 60% of
