Laparoscopic myomectomy has recently gained wide acceptance. However, this procedure remains technically highly demanding and concerns have been raised regarding the prolonged time of anesthesia, increased blood loss, and possibly a higher risk of postoperative adhesion formation. Laparoscopic-assisted myomectomy (LAM) is advocated as a technique that may lessen these concerns regarding laparos...
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a destructive lung disease of women associated with the metastasis of tuberin-null cells with hyperactive mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity. Clinical trials with the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin have revealed partial efficacy but are not curative. Pregnancy appears to exacerbate LAM, suggesting that estrogen (E2) may play a role in the uni...
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) monotherapy is a therapeutic option for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) variants resistant to lamivudine (LAM). We evaluated the antiviral efficacy and safety of TDF alone compared to those of TDF plus LAM or telbivudine (LdT) combination in patients harboring HBV variants with genotypic resistance to LAM. This multice...
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is associated with abnormal airway smooth muscle that leads to the characteristic pathology of lung nodule formation and destruction of lung tissue. The current authors have previously identified abnormal behaviour of airway smooth muscle cells from patients with asthma. In this study, cells and tissue sections derived from patients with LAM (n=7), asthma (n=8), a...
Objective: To provide a comprehensive update of the clinical picture of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) using two large patient registries. Methods: A cross sectional questionnaire survey which included questions on 14 LAM symptoms, pneumothorax, tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), date of diagnosis, and pulmonary function tests (PFTs). Results: The response rate was 70.5% (n = 328). The mean age ...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether renal angiomyolipomas from women with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) express estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR). DESIGN Retrospective study of archival tissue. PATIENTS Twelve women with LAM and angiomyolipomas. SETTING Fox Chase Cancer Center. INTERVENTIONS ER and PR expression was studied using immunohistochemistry. The hormo...
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease, of unknown etiology, affecting women almost exclusively. Microscopically, LAM consists of a diffuse proliferation of smooth muscle cells. LAM can occur without evidence of other disease (sporadic LAM) or in conjunction with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). TSC is an autosomal dominant tumor suppressor gene syndrome characterized by seizures, me...
Pleural disease is a common complication of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). The incidence and recurrence rates of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax in LAM are the highest among chronic pulmonary disorders. Most patients have at least one pneumothorax before LAM is diagnosed, and pneumothorax is often the sentinel event that leads to the diagnosis. Although early, definitive treatment for recur...
The effects of laminin (LAM) and collagen type I (C-I) on human hepatoblastoma (HuH-6) and hepatoma (HuH-7) cell lines were investigated. C-I was superior to LAM in supporting the attachment of the cells, especially of HuH-6, to plastic surfaces. No effect of LAM and C-I on cellular morphology was recognizable by phase contrast microscopy. By scanning electron microscopy (SEM), much more microv...
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare disease of women, is associated with cystic lung destruction resulting from the proliferation of abnormal smooth muscle-like LAM cells with mutations in the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) genes TSC1 and/or TSC2 The mutant genes and encoded proteins are responsible for activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), which is inhibited by sirolim...
