adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is a relatively rare, slow growing lung neoplasm. metastases outside the lung are uncommon. herein, we have reported the case of a patient who presented with a large mass in the right lower lobe of her lung. bronchial biopsy revealed features suggestive of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung with a predominant cribriform architecture. ct abdomen showed feat...

background : lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer- related deaths and most of themâ  are normally diagnosed in late stages, so there is an urgent need to establish reliable tools for the identification at early stages of the disease. in this study, we use an eleven gene signature test to examine lung biopsy specimens for diagnostic, prognostic & therapeutic purposes. methods : bronc...

background: the her-2/neu gene is located on chromosome 17q21 and encodes a 185-kda transmembrane glycoprotein with tyrosine kinase activity reported to be released in soluble form in various malignancies. objective: to evaluate the clinical significance of soluble her-2/neu as a diagnostic marker in lung cancer. methods: serum levels of soluble her-2/neu were measured in 43 patients with lung ...

amiodarone is used in treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. therapeutic use of amiodarone is limited by its side effects, including pulmonary toxicity. human placenta extract (hpe) contains a variety of bio-active substances. thus, the present study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the protective effects of hpe on the structural lung changes induced by amiodarone using stereological methods. spragu...

linguatula serrata is a tongue-shaped parasite that infects carnivores or insectivorous reptile as final host and herbivores as intermediate ones. during necropsy of a 1.5-year-old female stray cat, a few white and fine nodules were observed on the diaphragmatic lobes of the lung. in histopathological examination, the nodules contained a turned spinosum parasite with cuticular spines and in par...

background: regular aerobic exercise improves the background: regular aerobic exercise improves the inflammatory status in different lung diseases. however, the effects of long-term aerobic exercise on the lung response have not been investigated. the present study evaluated the effect of aerobic exercise on the lung inflammatory. m aterials and methods: 12 adult male wistar rats were divided t...

pasteurellosis is one of the important economic diseases in ruminants, especially in cows and buffaloes. it is caused by pasteurella multocida and occasionally by mannheimia haemolytica. the aim of this study was to isolate pasteurella multocida from lungs with probable mentioned bacterial agents in cows and buffaloes in urmia's slaughter house. 240 lung samples over a period of 12 months ...

objective(s): chemoresistance remains the main causes of treatment failure and mortality in cancer patients. there is an urgent need to investigate novel approaches to improve current therapeutic modalities and increase cancer patients' survival. induction of drug efflux due to overexpression of                  p-glycoproteins is considered as an important leading cause of multidrug resis...
