Proteinose alveolar congénita.

open access: yesActa Médica Portuguesa, 2005
Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) is a rare entity characterized by the intra-alveolar accumulation of proteinaceous PAS positive and diastase resistant material. Its pathogenesis remains unclear, although a surfactant protein B deficiency and changes

Assessment of Surfactant Protein A (SP-A) dependent agglutination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Monomers of the collectin surfactant associated protein-A (SP-A) are arranged in trimers and higher oligomers. The state of oligomerization differs between individuals and likely affects SP-A's functional properties.

Expert‐Designed Fact Sheets and AI‐Based Analysis of Patient Symptoms to Combat Diagnostic Delays in Inherited Metabolic Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The importance of early diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) is well known, as it allows early intervention to prevent or reduce complications and improve prognosis, since many of these disorders are treatable. However, diagnosis can still be delayed, and many patients remain undiagnosed. Reducing diagnosis delays is a primary goal

Serial bronchoscopic lung lavage in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis under local anesthesia

open access: yesLung India, 2015
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease, characterized by alveolar accumulation of surfactant composed of proteins and lipids due to defective surfactant clearance by alveolar macrophages.

Autoimmune hyperphosphatemic tumoral calcinosis in a patient with FGF23 autoantibodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC)/hyperostosis-hyperphosphatemia syndrome (HHS) is an autosomal recessive disorder of ectopic calcification due to deficiency of or resistance to intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23). Inactivating

Whole lung lavage combined with Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor inhalation for an adult case of refractory pulmonary alveolar proteinosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Whole-lung lavage (WLL) is classically the first-line treatment for symptomatic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). However, some patients require multiple WLLs because of refractory nature of their PAP. In this instance, these patients may

Innate immune activation by inhaled lipopolysaccharide, independent of oxidative stress, exacerbates silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Acute exacerbations of pulmonary fibrosis are characterized by rapid decrements in lung function. Environmental factors that may contribute to acute exacerbations remain poorly understood.

Genetic determinants of risk in autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a complex lung disease caused by abnormal surfactant homeostasis. Here, the authors carry out a genome-wide association study of aPAP in a Japanese cohort, finding variants in the MHC and suggesting ...

Macrophages and lipid metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Distinct macrophage populations throughout the body display highly heterogeneous transcriptional and epigenetic programs. Recent research has highlighted that these profiles enable the different macrophage populations to perform distinct functions as ...
