Mechanical properties of lung parenchyma during bronchoconstriction.
Interdependence between airways and the lung parenchyma is thought to be a major mechanism preventing excessive airway narrowing during bronchoconstriction. Because the elastance of the lung increases during bronchoconstriction, the lung's tethering force could also increase, further attenuating bronchoconstriction. We hypothesized that the bulk (kappa) and shear moduli (mu) of the lung increas...
متن کاملExamination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy
In this paper many of the principal structure of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed description was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumocytes. Acknowledgements I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...
متن کاملHigh lung inflation increases mRNA levels of ECM components and growth factors in lung parenchyma.
Remodeling of pulmonary capillaries occurs after chronic increases in capillary pressure (e.g., mitral stenosis). Also, remodeling of pulmonary arteries begins within 4 h of increased wall stress and is endothelium dependent. We have previously shown that high lung inflation increases wall stress in pulmonary capillaries. This study was designed to determine whether high lung inflation induces ...
متن کاملExperimental Evidence of Mechanical Isotropy in Porcine Lung Parenchyma
Pulmonary injuries are a major source of morbidity and mortality associated with trauma. Trauma includes injuries associated with accidents and falls as well as blast injuries caused by explosives. The prevalence and mortality of these injuries has made research of pulmonary injury a major priority. Lungs have a complex structure, with multiple types of tissues necessary to allow successful res...
متن کاملCorrelation between alveolar ventilation and electrical properties of lung parenchyma.
One key problem in modern medical imaging is linking measured data and actual physiological quantities. In this article we derive such a link between the electrical bioimpedance of lung parenchyma, which can be measured by electrical impedance tomography (EIT), and the magnitude of regional ventilation, a key to understanding lung mechanics and developing novel protective ventilation strategies...
