Protective effect of ebselen on bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis: analysis of the molecular mechanism of lung fibrosis mediated by oxidized diacylglycerol.

The molecular mechanisms underlying the development of pulmonary fibrosis remain unknown, and effective treatments have not yet been developed. It has been shown that oxidative stress is involved in lung fibrosis. Oxidized diacylglycerol (DAG) produced by oxidative stress is thought to play an important role in lung fibrosis.

Par3 and ZO-1 Membrane Clustering is an Indicator of Poor Prognosis in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Epithelial cells form epithelial tissue structures by joining together intercellular adhesion structures composed of intercellular adhesion factors such as zona occludins-1 (ZO-1). Epithelial cells are polarized at the apical and basal regions, and are bordered by intercellular adhesion structures called tight junctions; the organelles within epithelial cells are distributed asymmetrically. Maintenance of this asymmetry in normal epithelial cells is essential for normal cytoskeletal remodeling, movement, and cell division.

Postintubation tracheal stenosis 35 years after neonatal resuscitation.

Introduction: Postintubation tracheal stenosis involves granulation or cicatrization of the tracheal epithelium. It is progressive and can become life-threatening within a few months after extubation.

Presentation Of Case: We here report a case of tracheal stenosis with a delayed manifestation, presenting 35 years after endotracheal intubation for neonatal resuscitation.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation in adults: Report of a case presenting with a recurrent pneumothorax and a literature review of 60 cases.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a congenital pulmonary cystic disease that is mostly detected and diagnosed prenatally or during the neonatal period, while rarely being observed in adults. Here, we report an adult case of CCAM that was diagnosed following surgery for a recurrent pneumothorax. We further review 60 case reports on adult CCAM that have been previously published.
