Increased expression of intestinal P-selectin and pulmonary E-selectin during intravenous total parenteral nutrition.
HYPOTHESIS Intravenous total parenteral nutrition (TPN) induces intestinal polymorphonuclear neutrophil recruitment with increased intestinal intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression. While intercellular adhesion molecule-1 causes firm adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelial cells, P- and E-selectin mediate leukocyte recruitment via rolling. Therefore, manipulation of nutrition may also a...

متن کاملDual-energy computed tomographic imaging of pulmonary hypertension.
Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) angiography of the chest provides a combined morphological and functional analysis of the lung, usually obtained in a single acquisition without extra radiation or injection of extra intravenous iodine contrast. The parenchymal iodine maps generated by DECT are well correlated with scintigraphy, and are becoming an essential tool for evaluating patients wi...
متن کاملDual energy CT pulmonary angiography: findings in a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
A 55-year-old woman became increasingly breathless over a 9month period. Systolic pulmonary artery pressure was estimated at 50 mm Hg by echocardiography. CT pulmonary angiography was performed using a dual energy technique whereby datasets are simultaneously acquired at 80 kV and 140 kV. Differential absorption of these energy spectra by iodine molecules in intravenous contrast medium is explo...
