Mast cell repopulation of the peritoneal cavity: contribution of mast cell progenitors versus bone marrow derived committed mast cell precursors [PDF]
Background Mast cells have recently gained new importance as immunoregulatory cells that are involved in numerous pathological processes. One result of these processes is an increase in mast cell numbers at peripheral sites.

Primary Leiomyosarcoma of Peritoneal Cavity
Leiomyosarcomas of soft tissue are the rare tumors and the retroperitoneum is the most common site involved. We report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the peritoneal cavity which clinically presented with suprapubic, freely mobile, nontender mass which measured 10×10 cm in size.

Intraperitoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer: new insights on resident macrophages in the peritoneal cavity. [PDF]
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.

The Host Peritoneal Cavity Harbors Prominent Memory Th2 and Early Recall Responses to an Intestinal Nematode. [PDF]
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 ...

GATA6+ Peritoneal Resident Macrophage: The Immune Custodian in the Peritoneal Cavity. [PDF]
Peritoneal resident macrophages (PRMs) have been a prominent topic in the research field of immunology due to their critical roles in immune surveillance in the peritoneal cavity. PRMs initially develop from embryonic progenitor cells and are replenished

Interferon-γ secreted by recruited Th1 cells in peritoneal cavity inhibits the formation of malignant ascites. [PDF]
Type 1 T helper (Th1) cells generate an efficient antitumor immune response in multiple malignancies. The functions of Th1 cells in malignant ascites (MA) have not been elucidated.

Evaluation of the positioning of the tip of the Veress needle during creation of closed pneumoperitoneum in pigs [PDF]
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]
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.
