Miliary mottling on chest radiography is seen in miliary tuberculosis, certain fungal infections, sarcoidosis, coal miner’s pneumoconiosis, silicosis, hemosiderosis, fibrosing alveolitis, acute extrinsic allergic alveolitis, pulmonary eosinophilic syndrome, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and rarely in hematogenous metastases from the primary cancers of the thyroid, kidney, trophoblasts, and so...

objective(s): abnormal lung cell death including autophagy and apoptosis is the central feature in acute lung injury (ali). to identify the cellular mechanisms and the chronology by which different types of lung cell death are activated during lipopolysaccharide (lps)-induced ali, we decided to evaluate autophagy (by lc3-ii and autophagosome) and apoptosis (by caspase-3) at different time point...

Background & objective: The histologic distinction of small cell from non-small cell lung carcinoma and correct identification of all subtypes of lung carcinoma are very important in treatment management. The main method for histologic classification of lung tumors is based on morphology. However, in small bronchoscopic biopsies in par...

Tumor-targeted therapies are playing growing roles in cancer research. The exploitation of these powerful therapeutic modalities largely depends on the discovery of tumor-targeting ligands. Phage display has proven a promising high throughput screening tool for the identification of novel specific peptides with high binding affinity to cancer cells. In the present study, we describe the use of ...

To identify the cellular mechanisms and the chronology by which different types of lung cell death are activated during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI, we decided to evaluate autophagy (by LC3-II and autophagosome) and apoptosis (by caspase-3) at different time point...

Background: Lung cancer ranks among the most common and most lethal malignancies worldwide. Once vascular or lymphatic invasions occur, metastatic dissemination to distant sites is common. Bone, liver, adrenals, and brain are the most frequent sites of the distant disease. In this study we present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of lung with metastasis of the left knee bursa.Case presentation...

background: to determine which radiotherapy parameters are associated with the tumor response of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. materials and methods: thirty one patients with iiia/iiib nsclc underwent chemoradiotherapy with a median dose of 63 gy. on our actual treatments, we made radiotherapy planning to cover the planning...

according to significant improvements in the tissue engineering field over the past several years, lung tissue cells have recently attracted more attention due to the high prevalence and diversity in related diseases. however, selection of an appropriate cell type, screening of suitable conditions for growth and proliferation, as well as subsequent implantation into the body to repair and regen...

introduction in this study, we describe the results of controlled synthesis and application of gold coated fe3o4/sio2 nano-shells combined with the optical property of gold for enhancement of selective photothermal interaction with cancerous cells based on the surface plasmon resonance (spr) phenomena. materials and methods magnetite nano-particles (mnps) were prepared by means of co-precipitat...
