Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the hypothesis that active smoking impacts upon mediators and abundance of circulating fibrocyte cells in smoking-related disease characterised by fibrosis.
Methods: Flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to investigate blood from five patient groups: healthy never-smokers, healthy current smokers, stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) active smokers, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) never-smokers, and IPF active smokers.
Results: A significant inverse dose-response relationship was observed in healthy smokers among cumulative smoking burden (pack-years) and fibrocyte abundance (p = 0.

Lipogenic and fibrous tumors are thought to originate from CD34-positive stromal fibroblastic/fibrocystic cells. Well-differentiated lipogenic tumors typically express CD34, whereas dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) often loses it. We conducted survival analyses involving 59 patients with DDLPS.

Methods: Three cases of SND (two following LASIK performed with microkeratomes and one following PRK) were reviewed and Pubmed.gov and internet searches were performed.

Background: Splenic sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a rare benign nodular lesion in the red medulla of the spleen. In the past, SANT has not been consistently recognized as the name for this condition and was often misdiagnosed for other conditions. In recent years, SANT has been acknowledged by most scholars as multiple reports have been published.
