Role of the radiologist in the diagnosis and management of the two forms of hepatic echinococcosis

Insights into Imaging, 2022
Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by two zoonotic tapeworms (cestodes) of the Echinocococcus genus. It can be classified as either alveolar or cystic echinococcosis.

Cystic Echinococcosis: An Impact Assessment of Prevention Programs in Endemic Developing Countries in Africa, Central Asia, and South America

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the tapeworm species, Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (G1), is one of many primary neglected zoonoses worldwide. Within endemic developing countries, CE has multiple effects on animal and human health and well‐being.

An improved experimental method for simultaneously isolating hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver infected with Echinococcus multilocularis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
A method that can simultaneously isolate hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) from mouse infected with Echinococcus multilocularis was established. Abstract Background Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis parasitizing in the human liver, causing local pathological changes ...

Diagnosis and treatment of a case of hepatic mixed echinococcosis infection combined with distant organ metastasis

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Hydatidosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus , which is highly prevalent in pastoral areas. In China, this disease is mainly caused by Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis .

Impact of Albendazole on Cytokine and Chemokine Response Profiles in Echinococcus multilocularis‐Inoculated Mice

BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Objective. Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonosis caused by the larval stage of the metacestode Echinococcosis multilocularis with a tumor‐like behavior in the targeted organ, especially in the liver. Surgery with albendazole is first‐line modality for AE.

Pulmonary surfactant inhibition of nanoparticle uptake by alveolar epithelial cells [PDF]

Scientific Reports 10, 19436 (2020), 2020
Pulmonary surfactant forms a sub-micrometer thick fluid layer that covers the surface of alveolar lumen and inhaled nanoparticles therefore come in to contact with surfactant prior to any interaction with epithelial cells. We investigate the role of the surfactant as a protective physical barrier by modeling the interactions using silica-Curosurf ...

Label-free intratissue activity imaging of alveolar organoids with dynamic optical coherence tomography [PDF]

Biomedical Optics Express 14, 2333-2351 (2023), 2023
An organoid is a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro cell culture emulating human organs. We applied 3D dynamic optical coherence tomography (DOCT) to visualize the intratissue and intracellular activities of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)-derived alveolar organoids in normal and fibrosis models.

Surface tension effects on flow dynamics and alveolar mechanics in the acinar region of human lung [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, in-vitro setups, and experimental ex-vivo approaches have been applied to numerous alveolar geometries over the past years. They aimed to study and examine airflow patterns, particle transport, and particle-alveolar wall deposition fractions.
