pleuritis,pleurisy- Greek pleura, "side" or "rib," came to be used for the "inner lining of the chest; lungs," and pleuritis or pleurisy is the inflammation of this area. intertrigo- Inflammation caused by the rubbing of one area of skin on another. ...
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 ...
①Watery, low protein content, derived from blood orserosallining cells. ②Commonly seen in: Mucous membrane,serosa, lung, loose connective tissue, skin. ③Examples: Blister formation following burning, the pleural effusion associated with tuberculosis, common cold, etc. (2)Fibrinousinflammation ①...
Compound heterozygous and homozygous mutants of Piezo1 were discovered in individuals with chronic lymphedema, ascites and pleural effusion related to inherited lymphatic dysplasia [24, 81]. Piezo1 global knockout in mice leads to embryonic fatality [24, 38, 46, 82, 83], demonstrating the ...

and pleural effusions of patients with tumors135. The role of PD-1-expressing ILCs in antitumor immunity is currently being investigated extensively. Since this topic has been addressed thoroughly by other reviews136,137, we will focus here on the roles that PD-1-expressing ILCs play in mucosal...
- Secretions of mesothelial cells lining the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities Serous Inflammation, depending on the site of injury, derives from either Skin blister, resulting from a burn or viral infection is a good example of the accumulation of a serous effusion either within or ...
Firstly, galectin-3 expression is increased in the airways of mice developing allergic inflammation, both in the peribronchial inflammatory cells (in particular monocytes/macrophages) and in fluid lining the airways. Secondly, gal3−/− mice, sensitized to OVA systemically and then challenged with...
The degree of bronchoconstriction was expressed as enhanced pause(Penh), a calculated dimensionless value, which correlates with the measurement of airway resistance, impedence, and intrapleural pressure in the same mouse. Penh readings were taken and avergared for 4 min after each nebulization ...
The fluid may derive from increased capillary permeability or it may result from active secretion by cells lining body cavities. Here is an example of fluid collection into a body cavity, or an effusion. This is a right pleural effusion (in a baby). Note the clear, pale yellow appearance ...
