Activated peritoneal cavity B-1a cells possess regulatory B cell properties. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Previous studies have suggested that murine peritoneal cavity-derived B-1a cells possess similarities with described regulatory B cell subsets. The aim of the current study was to examine the potential immunoregulatory function of peritoneal cavity ...

Intraperitoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer: new insights on resident macrophages in the peritoneal cavity [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Ovarian cancer metastasis occurs primarily in the peritoneal cavity. Orchestration of cancer cells with various cell types, particularly macrophages, in the peritoneal cavity creates a metastasis-favorable environment.

Sporadic Neurofibroma of the Peritoneal Cavity. [PDF]
ACG Case Rep J, 2022 ABSTRACT Neurofibromas are peripheral nerve sheath tumors that are typically seen in syndromic conditions such as neurofibromatosis 1. We present the case of a 26-year-old woman suffering from chronic abdominal pain for over 5 years. Prior workup showed a large retroperitoneal mass extending into the abdomen and encasing multiple major ...

The Host Peritoneal Cavity Harbors Prominent Memory Th2 and Early Recall Responses to an Intestinal Nematode [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Intestinal parasitic nematodes affect a quarter of the world’s population, typically eliciting prominent effector Th2-driven host immune responses. As not all infected hosts develop protection against reinfection, our current understanding of nematode ...

Evaluation of the positioning of the tip of the Veress needle during creation of closed pneumoperitoneum in pigs [PDF]
Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2006 PURPOSE: Erroneous punctures and insufflations are frequent with the use of the Veress needle. Mistaken injections of gas in the preperitoneal space are not rare.

The lectin ArtinM induces recruitment of rat mast cells from the bone marrow to the peritoneal cavity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: The D-mannose binding lectin ArtinM is known to recruit neutrophils, to degranulate mast cells and may have potential therapeutic applications. However, the effect of ArtinM on mast cell recruitment has not been investigated.
