An immunohistochemical study of the fibrosing process in paraquat lung injury

Abstract

Twenty-nine autopsy cases of paraquat-induced lung injury were studied by histological and immunohistochemical methods. Two stages of injury were identified. In the early stage, the alveolar epithelium degenerates but the epithelial basement membrane remains intact. In the late stage, the epithelial basement membrane is focally disrupted, the mesenchymal cells grow into the alveolar space, and intra-alveolar fibrosis appears. In spite of these pathological changes, the original framework of the alveolar wall is preserved in many areas. Intra-alveolar fibrosis may follow as a consequence of damage to the epithelium without severe damage to the underlying basement membrane, which occurs at the stage of organization. Morphological variants of intra-alveolar fibrosis seem to occur not only to the size of the defect of the basement membrane but also to the difference in the stages of evolution at the time the lesion is studied. The epithelium regenerates along the basement membrane in the early stage of re-epithelialization, but grows over the luminal aspect of intra-alveolar fibrous tissue which has been laid on the remaining basement membrane in the late stage. It is speculated that the regeneration of epithelial cells may develop...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
