Journal Article

Normal Human Mesothelial Cells and Mesothelioma Cell Lines Express Insulin-like Growth Factor I and Associated Molecules

TL;DR: The results suggest that IGF-I may function as an autocrine growth stimulus in normal proliferating mesothelial cells, which may contribute to their malignant transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular analysis of synchronous and metachronous tumors of the lung: impact on management and prognosis.

TL;DR: It is found that primary tumors of the lung and their metastasis share nearly identical patterns of loss of heterozygosity, suggesting that molecular analysis can help fingerprint tumors and has the potential to significantly impact management and prognosis of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced insulin-like growth factor molecules in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

TL;DR: In situ hybridization of open lung biopsies showed IGF-I to be abundant in IPF lung tissue in alveolar macrophages, interstitial mesenchymal cells, and epithelial cells, compatible with the hypothesis that IGFBP-3 increases the bioactivity of IGF-i derived from a variety of lung tissues contributing to the fibrosis and remodeling seen in IPf.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hut lung. A domestically acquired particulate lung disease.

TL;DR: High-resolution computed tomography of the chest demonstrated numerous 2- to 3-mm nodules, sparing the pleural surface, in a recently emigrated nonsmoking Bangladeshi woman with a history of 171 hour-years of exposure to biomass smoke, the first such report of CT findings in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calretinin staining pattern aids in the differentiation of mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma in serous effusions

TL;DR: The differentiation between malignant mesothelioma and adenocarcinoma based on morphology alone can be a diagnostic challenge, but specific markers for mesothelial cells are lacking and results with cytologic preparations have been inconsistent.
