Fatal Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Case of Seminoma
An interim disease evaluation was suggestive for a complete clinical, metabolic and radiologic response. Three weeks after the completion of the 4th cycle of chemotherapy, he presented a rapid progression of dyspnea and severe hypoxemia with dry cough. The CT scan showed diffuse interstitial and alveolar in iltrates associated with a pneumomediastinum. Because of acute respiratory failure, he r...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of Saffron and Methylprednisolone on Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of saffron and methylprednisolone on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats. Methods: This study was conducted in Bushehr, southern Iran in 2017.The animals were divided into four groups of five rats each.

متن کاملSaffron Protection against Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats
Background: Bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis has been accepted as an animal model for fibrosis in rats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of saffron aqueous extract on this disorder paving the way for more investigation in treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in human. Methods: Male Wistar rats (250–300 gr) were instilled a single dose of bleomycin (5 mg/kg) via in...
متن کاملSmad3 deficiency attenuates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling plays an important regulatory role during lung fibrogenesis. Smad3 was identified in the pathway for transducing TGF-beta signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. Using mice without Smad3 gene expression, we investigated whether Smad3 could regulate bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in vivo. Mice deficient in Smad3 demonstrated suppr...
متن کاملThe Effect of Methanol Extract of Fennel on Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats
Background & Aims: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic diffuse interstitial lung disease, which has symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath. The average survival duration in these patients is estimated as 3 years after the onset of symptoms. Today, the therapeutic approach used in IPF cases is the usage of chemical or herbal antioxidants in order to elim...
