Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Nf-Kappa and HDCA and Implication of Oxidative Stress in Airway Inflammation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseGhada A. Abdallah, Nevine M. Abd-Elfattah, Hala M. Ghanem et al.Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), due to its effect on proinflammatory gene transcription. Oxidants/antioxidants imbalance is responsible for disease development. The study was designed to assess oxidative stress and inflammation in COPD patients. The level of TNF-α and IL-8 in sputum and BAL were compared. NF-κB and HDAC were measured in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2014 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy of pH and Cellular Response in Pulmonary Fibroblasts After Exposure to Market Street World Trade Center Particulate MatterMichelle Hernandez, Sung Choi, Ann Marie DiLorenzoChronic health conditions have been noted among first responders and residents exposed to the dust generated from the World Trade Center (WTC) collapse on September 11, 2001. This study sought to isolate a single factor thought to play a substantial role in the decreased lung function of World Trade Center (WTC) workers and victims. Human pulmonary fibroblasts were exposed to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2013 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the keywordsPrimary Eosinophilic Lung Diseases and the Therapeutic Role of Corticosteroids: A Case Report and Literature ReviewHuzairi Sani, Nada Syazana ZulkufliA 17-year-old girl was seen and treated for eosinophilic pneumonia with underlying Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES), a rare disorder comprising of the triad: A persistently high eosinophil count, eosinophil-mediated organ damage and with no evidence of other causes of secondary eosinophilia. The diagnosis was subsequently changed to acute exacerbation of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia following reviews of journal updates.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMicroscopic Study of the Lungs of Sprague-Dawley Rats from Various Ages of Postnatal and Aging PeriodsRia Margiana, Isabella Kurnia Liem, Jeanne Adiwinata PawitanPhysiological changes in postnatal and aging lung are associated with a variety of microscopic changes in the lung, especially the alveolar lung tissue, both in the interstitial and epithelial component. Interstitial tissue of the lung will increase in thickness that is supposed to be due to changes in fiber composition, particularly collagen. However, the exact changes are still under debate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2015 · 7,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA 30 Year Old Man with Fever and Indolent Soft Tissue MassesWissam Zaeeter, Ashwin Jathavedam, Rosalyn StahlAbstract: Problem statement: Multifocal Skeletal Tuberculosis (MSTB) is a rare presentation of skeletal tuberculosis. The indolent nature of this condition often leads to delayed or missed diagnosis, sometimes with devastating consequences for the patient. In order to provide meaningful clinical information and to highlight pitfalls in diagnosis of MFST, we present a case of MSTB.
