Bacterial Pleuritis with Thickened Mesothelial Hyperplasia in a Young Beagle Dog
A five-month-old male beagle dog suddenly became moribund. Bloody fluid accumulated in the thoracic and abdominal cavities, and soft yellow flecks were floating in the thoracic fluid. The mediastinum and pericardium became dark reddish with villous thickening. Other parietal and pulmonary pleurae were rough, and the organs adhered to each other. Histologically, most mediastinal pleura formed pa...
متن کاملAtypia in Pleural Effusions after Lung Transplantation
Background: Pleural effusion cytology is challenging due to overlap between reactive and malignant processes. Pulmonary transplant patients are immunosuppressed, and at higher risk for both malignant and infectious conditions. This study evaluates atypia in pleural effusions from lung transplantation patients. Methods: All patients who underwent lung transplantation and had a post-transplant pl...
متن کاملPleural inhibition of the caspase-1/IL-1β pathway diminishes profibrotic lung toxicity of bleomycin
BACKGROUND Idiopathic and toxic pulmonary fibrosis are severe diseases starting classically in the subpleural area of the lung. It has recently been suggested that pleural mesothelial cells acquire a myofibroblast phenotype under fibrotic conditions induced by TGF-β1 or bleomycin. The importance and role of inflammation in fibrogenesis are still controversial. In this work, we explored the role...
متن کاملEvidence for pleural epithelial-mesenchymal transition in murine compensatory lung growth
In many mammals, including rodents and humans, removal of one lung results in the compensatory growth of the remaining lung; however, the mechanism of compensatory lung growth is unknown. Here, we investigated the changes in morphology and phenotype of pleural cells after pneumonectomy. Between days 1 and 3 after pneumonectomy, cells expressing α-smooth muscle actin (SMA), a cytoplasmic marker ...
متن کاملMechanisms of Mesothelial Tissue Lubrication
In the pleural space, sliding between the lung and chest wall induces shear stress that could damage the delicate mesothelial cells covering the tissue surfaces. Normally, the pleural space, which is filled with fluid, is able to sustain continuous shear loading throughout its lifetime. To understand the mechanisms in preventing frictional damage on mesothelial tissue, we conducted experiments ...
