T-lymphocytosis in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Changes in profile of T-cell subsets during the course of disease.
Recently, increased proportions of OKT 4+ helper T-lymphocytes have been reported in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of patients with active sarcoidosis. In this study we were interested in T-cell subsets of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a disease characterized by a similar increase in BAL T-lymphocytes as active sarcoidosis. We applied an immunoperoxidase method performed on glass slides us...
متن کاملExpression of p53, p21 (Waf1/Cip1/Sdi1) and Fas antigen in collagen vascular and granulomatous lung diseases.
Fas is expressed in various cells and transduces the cell death signal. p21 is a mediator of p53-dependent G1 arrest associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. The upregulation of p53 and p21 associated with DNA damage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has been described previously. In this study, p53, p21, and Fas expression and DNA damage were examined in interstitial pneumonia associ...
متن کاملHypersensitivity pneumonitis presenting as sarcoidosis.
Pulmonary sarcoidosis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis are two disease entities that may have similar clinical, laboratory, and pathological features. A low index of suspicion for hypersensitivity pneumonitis combined with the overlapping features contribute to the difficulty of distinguishing the two diseases. Indeed, two case series suggest that four of 51 and two of 46 subjects originally di...
متن کاملDensity of phenotypic markers on BAL T-lymphocytes in hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary sarcoidosis and bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia.
In vitro studies have shown that the density of surface antigens reflects the degree of activation of T-cells. We therefore studied the density of surface antigens on T-cells from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and blood in patients with sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) and bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP). BALF cells were stained with anti-CD3, anti-...
متن کاملComparing Human Sperm Quality Preserved at Two Different Temperatures; Effect of Trolox, Coenzyme Q10 and Extracellular Adenosine Triphosphate
Cooling method was proposed to maintain the sperm quality for several days. Nevertheless, during this procedure, sperm is encountered to “cold shock”, and its quality decreases time-dependently. This study was designed to improve the in vitro sperm preservation methods. Thirty normal semen samples were examined in Shiraz, Iran, 2017. Fifteen samples were incubated at 22-27 °C and 15 samples wer...
