Alveolar macrophages and the diagnosis of drowning [PDF]

Forensic Science International, 1993
In the present study, we examined the number of alveolar macrophages in lung tissue from 17 cases of fresh water drowning, 22 cases of acute death and 6 cases of lung emphysema. When counting only the number of alveolar macrophages per alveolus without consideration of the alveolar size we found no relevant differences between the groups investigated ...

Alveolar macrophage lipid burden correlates with clinical improvement in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a life-threatening, rare lung syndrome for which there is no cure and no approved therapies. PAP is a disease of lipid accumulation characterized by alveolar macrophage foam cell formation.

Alveolar presence of red blood cells correlates with alveolar macrophage iron levels in COPD

, 2020
ackground: Pulmonary iron levels are increased in COPD patients. The number of iron positive alveolar macrophages correlates with increased COPD severity, which may be due to iron deposition from cigarette smoke or from red blood cells.

Tissue markers of alveolar macrophage accumulations in inhaled drug development

, 2016
Alveolar macrophage accumulations in the lungs of rodents and dogs that have been exposed to inhaled new drug candidates is an important cause of attrition during preclinical drug development because it is very difficult to decide whether the ...

Phagocytic properties of lung alveolar wall cells [PDF]

, 1974
For the purpose to define the mechanism of heavy metal intoxication by inhalation, morphologic observations were made on rat lungs after nasal instillation of iron colloid particles of positive and negative electric charges. Histochemical observation was

A cardinal role for cathepsin D in co-ordinating the host-mediated apoptosis of macrophages and killing of pneumococci [PDF]

, 2011
The bactericidal function of macrophages against pneumococci is enhanced by their apoptotic demise, which is controlled by the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1.

Clinical biological and genetic heterogeneity of the inborn errors of pulmonary surfactant metabolism [PDF]

, 2001
Pulmonary surfactant is a multimolecular complex located at the air-water interface within the alveolus to which a range of physical (surface-active properties) and immune functions has been assigned. This complex consists of a surface-active lipid layer

Prednisolone as preservation additive prevents from ischemia reperfusion injury in a rat model of orthotopic lung transplantation [PDF]

, 2013
The lung is, more than other solid organs, susceptible for ischemia reperfusion injury after orthotopic transplantation. Corticosteroids are known to potently suppress pro-inflammatory processes when given in the post-operative setting or during ...
