Quantification of bleomycin pulmonary toxicity in mice by changes in lung hydroxyproline content and morphometric histopathology.
Bleomycin treatment produced dose-dependent changes in lung collagen content and in several measurable histopathological parameters. NIH/Swiss mice were treated twice weekly for 6 weeks with bleomycin, 0, 1, 20, or 40 mg/kg s.c. The two highest doses produced mortalities of 35 and 100%, respectively, as well as loss of body weight and increase in lung wet weight. Lung hydroxyproline content, an...
متن کاملPulmonary oxygen toxicity. A review of the evidence for acute and chronic oxygen toxicity in man.
During the last few years there has been growing concern that chronic pulmonary oxygen toxicity might result from the administration of high concentrations of oxygen with intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) during the management of respiratory failure. This concern was fostered by Nash, Blennerhassett and Pontoppidan (1967) who reported an association between the duration and conc...
متن کاملNormobaric Pulmonary Oxygen Toxicity
This study investigated the involvement of substances derived from arachidonic acid in the mechanism of endotoxin's protective action against pulmonary oxygen toxicity. Eighty-three percent of rats treated with a small dose of endotoxin (1 mgjkg) survived exposure to over 95% oxygen for 7 days. In contrast, all control rats exposed to the same oxygen concentration died within 3 days. When the e...
متن کاملBenefits from the correction of vitamin D deficiency in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Background: Vitamin D (Vit D) is linked to various conditions including musculoskeletal, metabolic and cardiopulmonary diseases. However, it is not clear whether correction of vit D deficiency exerts any beneficial effect in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Methods: This study was a prospective uncontrolled longitudinal study. Patients with pulmonary hypertension and vit D d...
متن کاملVitamin A deficiency exacerbates murine Lyme arthritis.
Vitamin A deficiency predisposes the host for a strong inflammatory response, suggesting that it may foster susceptibility to diseases, such as Lyme arthritis, in which activated macrophage and inflammatory cytokine production are pathogenic. Infected mice had a rapid serum retinal decline that correlated with the onset of arthritis. The mice with the least retinol developed acute arthritis ear...
