TL;DR: To characterize the pathological features of pulmonary cysts and to elucidate the possible mechanism of cyst formation in the lungs of patients with Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome (BHDS), a tumour suppressor gene syndrome, using histological and morphometric analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: VC treatment diminished oxidative stress, increased collagen synthesis, and improved vascular endothelial growth factor levels in the lungs, suggesting that VC may provide a new therapeutic strategy for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel renal cell carcinoma susceptibility gene maps on chromosome 10 in the Eker rat.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the hereditary renal cell carcinoma (RC) susceptibility gene in the Eker rat is genetically linked to the protamine-1 gene (Lod score = 11.65) and the interleukin-3 gene (4.13) located on the proximal part of rat chromosome 10.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: TPC might be an effective option for surgical treatment of intractable pneumothorax in patients with BHDS and successfully prevented the recurrence of pneumothOrax in LAM patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel clinical scoring system to identify patients with pneumothorax with suspicion for Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome
Hiroki Ebana,Teruaki Mizobuchi,Masatoshi Kurihara,Etsuko Kobayashi,Takahiro Haga,Shoichi Okamoto,Kazuhisa Takahashi,Kuniaki Seyama +7 more
TL;DR: It is still unclear whether clinical features are useful for identifying patients with suspicion of BHDS from those with PTX.
