Mechanical ventilation contributes to the morbidity and mortality of patients in intensive care, likely through the exacerbation and dissemination of inflammation. Despite the proximity of the pleural cavity to the lungs and exposure to physical forces, little attention has been paid ...
The presence of respiratory stridor may suggest that pharyngeal or esophageal ulceration has occurred; the absence of oral burns does not preclude the development of esophageal burns. Esophageal perforation may result in leakage of ingesta into the pleural cavity, causing pleuritis with dyspnea and ...
胸膜腔积液的源于浆液性渗出、血胸、血性浆液。此种积液少见。如果在胸膜腔脓性渗出物聚积称为脓胸。 This radiograph demonstrates fluid in the left pleural cavity. This pleural effusion could result from a transudate (serous effusion) or from hemorrhage (hemothorax), or serous fluid tinged with blood...

In the pleural fluid, both cytokine and chemokine concentrations increased by day one. The increase was significantly higher in the pleural fluid compared to the blood. Conclusion The inflammatory response of cytokines affects both the collapsed, operated and the ventilated, non-operated lungs. The ...
Cancer antigen 125: a bulk marker for the mesothelial mass in stable peritoneal dialysis patients Mesothelial cells that line the peritoneal cavity are capable of producing several proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 and interleukin-8.

In the present study, we show that the intra-thoracic injection of ovalbumin (OVA, 12.5 μg per cavity) into C57BL/10 mice induced a significant increase in γδ T lymphocyte numbers in the pleural cavity, blood and thoracic lymph node of challenged mice. Such increase was significant within...

Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a very aggressive cancer originating from the mesothelial lining of the peritoneal, pleural, or pericardial cavity.1 The incidence of MM continues to increase worldwide because of the long latency period of MM development.2 MM is difficult to diagnose at an early ...
