Hodgkin lymphoma of the ampulla of Vater: A rare cause of obstructive jaundice in children
Abstract Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has a wide spectrum of presentation. Most cases affect lymph nodes (nodal), while extranodal involvement is rare. Whereas the gastrointestinal tract is enriched with lymphoid tissues, the ampulla of Vater is not rich in lymphoid tissue. Involvement of the ampulla of Vater with HL has rarely been reported in adults and has

Characterization of acute lung injury in the bleomycin rat model
The aim of this study was to describe and characterize the pathophysiological changes occurring during the early inflammatory phase (first 3 days) in the rat bleomycin model of lung injury preceding the development of fibrosis.

Modelling single cell electroporation with bipolar pulse parameters and dynamic pore radii [PDF]
We develop a model of single spherical cell electroporation and simulate spatial and temporal aspects of the transmembrane potential and pore radii as an effect of any form of applied electric field.

A mammalian Wnt5a-Ror2-Vangl2 axis controls the cytoskeleton and confers cellular properties required for alveologenesis. [PDF]
Alveolar formation increases the surface area for gas-exchange and is key to the physiological function of the lung. Alveolar epithelial cells, myofibroblasts and endothelial cells undergo coordinated morphogenesis to generate epithelial folds (secondary

ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a pathological change causing poor outcomes, is not reversible despite current antifibrotic therapy. Emerging evidence suggests that innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) mediate lung inflammation and fibrosis after stimulation by endogenous factors.

Andrographolide Modulates Fibrogenic and Oxidative Stress Responses in Human Lung Fibroblasts
ABSTRACT Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disorder characterized by fibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Andrographolide (ANDRO) has been reported to attenuate pulmonary fibrosis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Mitoxantrone is superior to doxorubicin in a multiagent weekly regimen for patients older than 60 with high-grade lymphoma: results of a BNLI randomized trial of PAdriaCEBO versus PMitCEBO [PDF]
A prospective, multicenter, randomized trial was undertaken to compare the efficacy and toxicity of adriamycin with mitoxantrone within a 6-drug combination chemotherapy regimen for elderly patients (older than 60 years) with high-grade non-Hodgkin ...
