چکیده
Themortality andmorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are high. However, no radical therapy has been developed to date. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether fetal mouse lung tissue can grow and differentiate in the emphysematous lung. Fetal lung tissue from green fluorescent protein C57BL/6 mice at 16 days’ gestation was used as donor material. Twelve-month-old pallid mice were used as recipients. Donor lungs were cut into small pieces and implanted into the recipient left lung by performing thoracotomy under anesthesia. The recipient mice were sacrificed at day 7, 14, and 28 after implantation and used for histological examination. Well-developed spontaneous pulmonary emphysema was seen in 12-month-old pallid mice. Smooth and continuous connection between implanted fetal lung tissue and recipient lung was recognized. Air space expansion and donor tissue differentiation were observed over time. We could clearly distinguish the border zones between injected tissue and native tissue by the green fluorescence of grafts. Fetal mouse lung fragments survived and differentiated in the emphysematous lung of pallid mice. Implantation of fetal lung tissue in pallid mice might lead to further lung regeneration research from the perspective of respiratory and exercise function. J. Med. Invest. 63 : 182-186, August, 2016

Formation of Lanthanum Hydroxide Nanostructures: Effect of NaOH and KOH Solvents
Lanthanum hydroxide (La(OH)3) nanostructures, including elliptical nanoparticles, octahedral rods and irregular nanoparticles were prepared chemically in NaOH and KOH solutions with 10 M concentration. The obtained powders were characterized with XRD, SEM, TEM and DTA. Crystallinities, morphologies and thermal behavior of the obtained nanostructure powders were investigated under the influence ...
متن کاملEffect of KOH concentration on the microstructure and electrochemical behavior of ceramic coatings formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation method on AZ31B Mg alloy
In this study, ceramic coatings were prepared on AZ31B Mg alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation technique in electrolytes containing sodium fluoride (KF), sodium silicate (Na2SiO3.5H2O) and different potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentrations. The electrochemical behavior of AZ31B alloy and plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings was studied by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impeda...

متن کاملFabrication of mesoporous polymer monolith: a template-free approach.
Mesoporous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) monolith has been fabricated by a template-free approach using the unique affinity of PAN towards a water/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixture. A newly developed Thermally Induced Phase Separation Technique (TIPS) has been used to obtain the polymer monoliths and their microstructures have been controlled by optimizing the concentration and cooling temperature.
