Journal ArticleDOI
Lung T cells in hypersensitivity pneumonitis
TL;DR: The predominant T-cell subset in patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis and in asymptomatic pigeon breeders was T8 +; in contrast, the predominant subset in those with sarcoidosis was T4 +; and the pattern of alveolitis, as determined by bronchoalveolar lavage, is not the sole determinant of lung impairment after exposure to hypersensitivity pneumonia antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protection against lethal hyperoxia by tracheal insufflation of erythrocytes: role of red cell glutathione
B. Sweder van Asbeck,John R. Hoidal,John R. Hoidal,Gregory M. Vercellotti,Bruce A. Schwartz,Charles F. Moldow,Harry S. Jacob +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that insufflated erythrocytes, through their recyclable glutathione, protect rats from toxic oxygen species engendered by hyperoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protection against pulmonary oxygen toxicity in rats by the intratracheal administration of liposome-encapsulated superoxide dismutase or catalase.
TL;DR: Elevated enzyme levels in the lungs of rats treated with liposome-encapsulated SOD or catalase were accompanied by a significant improvement in survival rates after 72 h of hyperoxic exposure and less lung injury than in the other control groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cigarette smoking causes accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in alveolar septum.
TL;DR: Although cigarette smoking causes PMN to accumulate within alveolar septa, the accumulation does not seem to be closely related to the development of emphysema, which suggests that additional or other factors are important in the pathogenesis of empysema.
Journal Article
Insufflated red cells protect lungs from hyperoxic damage: role of red cell glutathione in scavenging toxic O2 radicals.
S. van Asbeck,John R. Hoidal,Bruce A. Schwartz,Gregory M. Vercellotti,Charles F. Moldow,Harry S. Jacob +5 more
TL;DR: An ironic, and previously unsuspected, connotation of the results emerges: that a small degree of spontaneous alveolar bleeding, which is not an uncommon feature in respiratory distress situations, may actually be beneficial to patients--particularly those ventilated with excessive inspired oxygen concentrations.
