One hundred and twenty five patients with non-specific lung diseases were exa mined with a view to the relation and interrelations between lung ventilation, acid base equilibrium and lipopectic lung function. The major part of the patients examined are with obstructive and mixed type ventilation in...
However during menopause, estradiol and progesterone levels in both genders significantly reduced to levels below those in the menstruation phase. Table 1 Female hormone levels throughout the menstrual cycle [16] Full size table Delivery of sex hormones to estrogen receptors in the lungs via SHBG ...
the precursor proteins can be cleaved in the domain containing ankyrin repeats through the proteolytic mechanism to be degraded. BCL-3 is an unusual member of the IκB family that it can develop homodimers with p50 and p52 to stimulate the expression of NF-κB-related genes. Therefore, the...
largely motivated by societal needs of improved understanding of the complex physiology of bacteria as relates to pathogenicity, food spoilage, and commercial and medical product development. Such reductionist studies were also used to infer the role of microorganisms in important global ...
Esophageal function is evaluated using survey radiographs looking for abnormalities along the length of the organ, such as megaesophagus, radiopaque foreign body, or esophageal mass. From: August's Consultations in Feline Internal Medicine, Volume 7, 2016 ...
LUNGSHEALTH of older peopleAGINGBODY weightThe age-related increase in body fat and decrease in muscle mass are associated with increased morbidity in elderly populations. Pulmonary function also decreases with age, but no study has investigated whether regional body composition is associ...
Our results concur with Sun's study,25 which found a proportional reduction in DLCO supporting the finings that the primary pathological process involves the blood vessels of the lungs. But we did not agree with Steenhuis's study, which showed that an increased pulmonary vascular resistance was ...
80Alveoli are the main sites for gas exchange in the lungs, and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a positive regulatory role in the development and differentiation of alveoli. LGT5+mesenchymal cells located in alveoli can secrete Wnt3a to activate canonical Wnt signalling and promote alveolar ...
Assessment of vocal function is essential in deciding the type of surgery that is indicated, intraoperatively which procedure should be taken in response to the vocal change, and postoperatively the effect of surgery on the voice. The description of the
and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Biomechanical and biochemical signals produced by the ECM regulate the phenotype and function of various cells including fibroblasts in the lungs. Fibroblasts are important lung structural cells responsible for the production and repair of different ECM proteins ...
