Database of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid proteins

Journal of Chromatography B, 2002
Bronchoalveolar lavage during fiberoptic bronchoscopy is extensively used for investigating cellular and biochemical alterations of the epithelial lining fluid in various lung disorders. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) offers the possibility to simultaneously display and analyze proteins contained in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).

Antibacterial Peptides in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid

American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 1998
Abstract Defensins and other antimicrobial peptides act in the innate host defense of epithelial surfaces. Human beta defensin 1 (hBD-1) has recently been shown to be expressed in airway epithelial cells and so has been implicated as a primary component of antibacterial activity in human lung.

Adenosine in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid in Asthma

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1993
Abstract The inhalation of nebulized adenosine causes bronchoconstriction in asthmatics. In order to explore whether endogenously produced adenosine may contribute to the pathophysiologic aspects of asthma, we measured adenosine concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in seven subjects with asthma, eight asymptomatic ...

Fluid Dynamics during Bronchoalveolar Lavage

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1988
Abstract A series of related studies were designed to investigate and quantify the degree of fluid exchange between the lung segment and the interstitium or pulmonary circulation that occurred during a standardized bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).

Bronchoalveolar Lavage: Quantitation of Intraalveolar Fluid?

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1993
Abstract A precise calculation of the amount of intraalveolar fluid is the basis of a quantitative analysis of intraalveolar compounds. Different approaches have been made to cover this important problem. Here, we report a comparative study with five markers: 99mTc-DTPA, 51Cr-EDTA, inulin, urea, and methylene blue in animal ...

Effects of paraquat on canine bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 1989
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) recovers the epithelial lung fluid of the lower respiratory tract. In this study, we have used BAL to detect early pulmonary injury in beagle dogs following an intravenous infusion of 10 mg paraquat dichloride/kg bodyweight.

Sample Preparation of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid

2008
Respiratory diseases are important health problem throughout the world. The bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid obtained by fiber-optic bronchoscopy is a biofluid reflecting the expression of secreted pulmonary proteins and the products of activated cells.

Study of Immune Complexes in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluids

Respiration, 2009
Immune complexes (IC) were investigated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) of 5 patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), 11 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and 16 with sarcoidosis (S) by three different methods: C1Q-BA, KgB, AKgB-MA. Using AKgB-MA, it is possible to identify the class of antibodies forming the IC.

Automated interpretation and analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

International Journal of Medical Informatics, 2022
The cytological analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) plays an essential role in the differential diagnosis of respiratory diseases. In recent years, deep learning has demonstrated excellent performance in image processing and object recognition.We aim to apply deep learning to the automated interpretation and analysis of BALF.Visual images ...

Proteomics of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid and Sputum

2008
Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and sputum, obtained through more or less noninvasive techniques, contain cells and many soluble compounds from respiratory tract secretions and are, therefore, important sources for the study of the lung and its pathologies.
