The Respiratory Epithelium [PDF]

open access: possible, 1986
The respiratory epithelium forms a continuous layer of cells that separates air from liquid throughout the lung. The integrity and function of the epithelium are a critical requirement for effective gas exchange, the uptake of O2 from the environment and elimination of CO2 from the organism.

Acetowhite epithelium

Gynecologic Oncology, 2004
The study was undertaken to provide further understanding of the phenomenon of "acetowhite epithelium".Solutions of acetic and similar acids were applied to the atypical transformation zone to demonstrate (or not) acetowhite epithelium.Acetowhite epithelium is not unique to acetic acid, but can be mimicked by other water soluble carboxylic acids ...

The Epithelium as a Target in Sepsis

Shock, 2016
Organ dysfunction induced by sepsis has been consistently associated with worse outcome and death. Regardless of the organ compromised, epithelial dysfunction is present throughout the body, affecting those organs that contain epithelia like the skin, lungs, liver, gut, and kidneys.

Plasticity in the airway epithelium

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 1990
Normal cell turnover as well as the response to injury require cell proliferation and differentiation. The airway epithelium maintains these processes throughout adult life. Controlled homeostatically, cell proliferation and differentiation usually restore, as an end point, the pseudostratified architecture of the normal mucociliary epithelium.

Cilia in the ciliary epithelium

Albrecht von Graefes Archiv f�r Klinische und Experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 1980
Cilia in the pigmented and nonpigmented ciliary epithelial cells were studied by electron microscopy in the normal Rhesus monkey eye. In addition cilia formation was studied following paracentesis as well as injection of hemoglobin into the vitreous cavity.

Epithelium

1988
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses epithelia, which are essentially surface tissues of ectodermal origin. The epidermis covering the surface of the skin on the outside of the body is a typical epithelium. However, epithelia cover the surfaces of other tissues and are not necessarily confined to the outside of the animal; oral epithelium and the ...

ARTIFICIAL CORNEAL EPITHELIUM

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1968
To the Editor: Water-impermeable transparent membranes of polypropylene or polymethyl methacrylate have been placed intralamellarly in patients having bullous keratopathy. 1-4 This procedure is of little help because, although the stroma in front of the membrane dehydrates and the epithelial edema disappears, the posterior stroma becomes even more ...

Inflammasomes of the intestinal epithelium

Trends in Immunology, 2015
While the functional importance of inflammasomes in blood-derived cell types is well established, it remains poorly understood how inflammasomes in nonhematopoietic cells contribute to mucosal immunity. Recent studies have revealed functional roles of inflammasomes - particularly NAIP/NLRC4, NLRP6, and noncanonical caspase-4 (caspase-11) - within ...

Defending the epithelium [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Medicine, 2006
Two studies examine the microbe-fighting peptides that keep infection at bay in the urinary tract and the colon. In the urinary tract, such peptides are deployed with lightning speed, and in the colon a short-chain fatty acid induces the peptides and fends off dysentery caused by Shigella species ( pages 636 – 641
