Quantitative proteomics of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Journal of Proteome Research, 2015
The proteomic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) can give insight into pulmonary disease pathology and response to therapy. Here, we describe the first gel-free quantitative analysis of BALF in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic ...

Limitations of using urea to quantify epithelial lining fluid recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
The quantitation of substances in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of the lower respiratory tract, as obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), is not precise because of the variable dilution of the ELF by the instilled lavage fluid.

Differential cellular analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained at various stages during the development of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in the rat.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
The purpose of this study was to analyze the cellular components of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid throughout the development of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in the rat. Animals were killed and lavaged at various times after the administration of a

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.

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 ...

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, 1988
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.

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid evaluation in rheumatoid arthritis.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a systemic disorder of unknown cause, is associated with a variety of well-recognized pulmonary abnormalities including interstitial lung disease.

Acute effect of smoking on the functional activity of alpha1-protease inhibitor in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
To assess the acute effect of smoking on the functional activity of alpha1-protease inhibitor (alpha-Pl) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), we studied 38 smokers (mean age 25 +/- 6.5 yr), who had 2 fiberoptic bronchoscopic lavages in sequence, the first ...

Neutrophilia in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid of Diffuse Panbronchiolitis

Chest, 1990
The clinical and pathologic features of diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) have been well reported to date, although its pathogenesis remains unknown. In the present study, we performed bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) on three patients with biopsy specimen-proven DPB and eight patients with highly probable DPB (six women and five men; one smoker and ten ...
