Abstract
A 53-year-old woman presented with recurrent episodes of cough and non-specific pulmonary symptoms. For many years she had been known to have primary biliary cirrhosis. INVESTIGATIONS: The chest X-ray showed multiple pulmonary nodules. Microbiological examination did not detect any pathogen and tran...

Abstract
We present the case of a 33 year-old female agriculture engineer with endotracheal tuberculosis (ETTB). It was treated successfully with prompt long-course antituberculous medication without complications or need for endotracheal intervention. This unusual case of ETTB, diagnosed promptly by fiberop...

Abstract
We describe a 71-year-old female patient with thyroid papillary carcinoma in whom bilateral pulmonary nodules were found during a routine chest radiography examination. Subsequent fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan gave the impression of multiple pulmonary metas...

Abstract
We report the case of a 32-year old man, dying suddenly and unexpectedly after a well-known history of drug abuse for more than a decade. The granulomas are caused by foreign particle embolization immediately after intravenous injection of not only the drug itself but also of adulterants, e.g. cotto...

Abstract
We report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who developed granulomatous Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) after rituximab and combination chemotherapy. The infection presented as a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) instead of the commonly seen diffuse ground-glass infiltrates. The diagnosis...

Abstract
A 50-year old patient was admitted to the hospital with hoarseness persisting for two weeks. Chest computed tomography revealed enlargement of lymph nodes in the aortopulmonary window. The bronchoscopy did not show any abnormalities, in transbronchial fine needle aspiration biopsy no diagnostic mate...

Abstract
Twenty-three cases of surgically resected pulmonary infarcts sent in consultation were reviewed to evaluate their morphology and to assess reasons for consultation. The morphology of these infarcts demonstrated that only a minority had the classical triangular shape at low magnification (26%) wherea...

Abstract
Particulate size distribution in induced sputum samples points to accumulation over time, leading to the consideration that this measurement may serve as a time-dependent marker for biological monitoring. Qualitative analysis of chemical composition of induced sputum particles is well correlated to...

We have described a simple method (using albumin as dispersing agent) which produced solutions containing more than 80% of agglomerate of breathable size. We report here results from intratracheal instillation of rats by 0, 1, 10 or 100 microg of MWCNT dispersed with albumin. After 1, 7, 30, 90, and...

Abstract
Trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM) is a glycolipid component of the mycobacterial cell wall that causes immune responses in mice similar to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection, including granuloma formation with production of proinflammatory cytokines. The precise roles of tumour necrosis factor...

Abstract
We show that Tlr9-deficient mice challenged with a Mycobacterium antigen display an altered Th17 cytokine profile, decreased accumulation of granuloma-associated myeloid DCs, and profoundly impaired delta-like 4 (dll4) Notch ligand expression.

Abstract
We described for the first time a case of NSG in a family with several cases of sarcoidosis, reinforcing the relationship between NSG and sarcoidosis. Additional interesting findings were the young age of the patient (15 years old), the symptoms limited to the respiratory tract (uncommon when NSG af...

Abstract
The CT characteristics of necrotizing granuloma are indistinguishable from those of malignant tumors; tissue diagnosis therefore is necessary. Core needle biopsy is a sensitive method for diagnosing necrotizing granuloma of the lung, but FNA biopsy is insufficient for diagnosis....

Abstract
We have shown previously that the chemokine receptors CXCR3 and CXCR6 are coexpressed by Th1 cells infiltrating the lung and the granuloma of patients with sarcoidosis. In this study, we evaluated the role of CCL20/CCR6 interaction in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis. By f...

Journal of Pathology (212)3 2007
Abstract
We conclude that IFN-gamma causes a dysbalance between angiostatic and angiogenic mediators and a concomitant reduction in granuloma vascularization, but that CXCR3-targeted chemokines are not sufficient to induce granuloma necrosis in a mouse model of mycobacteria-induced immunopathology.

Abstract
We have identified ectopic germinal centers (GCs) in the lungs of infected mice. B cells in these pulmonary lymphoid aggregates express peanut agglutinin and GL7, two markers of GC B cells, as well as CXCR5, and migrate in response to the lymphoid-associated chemokine CXCL13 ex vivo. CXCL13 is negat...

The role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in granulomatous vasculitis is not well understood. To investigate its involvement in this type of vasculitis a model of glucan-induced pulmonary vasculitis employed interleukin-6 deficient (IL-6-/-) mice. Briefly, IL-6-/- mice and C57B/J6 wild type (IL-6+/+) mice we...
