Benign pleural mesothelial cells have higher osmotic water permeability than malignant pleural mesothelioma cells and differentially respond to hyperosmolality
(2019)Background/Aims: Cell volume regulation is a critical mechanism for cell homeostasis and depends on the osmotic water permeability (Pf) of the cell plasma membrane. The Pf of human mesothelial cells is unknown although ... -
Effect of histamine on the electrophysiology of the human parietal pleura
(2011)Introduction: Histamine is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases and regulates the permeability of different tissues. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of histamine on the electrophysiology ... -
Human parietal pleura present electrophysiology variations according to location in pleural cavity
(2008)The aim of the study was to investigate if human pleura from different anatomical locations presents electrophysiology differences. Specimens were stripped over the 2nd-5th rib (cranial), 8th-10th rib (caudal), and mediastinum ... -
IGF-1 alters the human parietal pleural electrochemical profile by inhibiting ion trans-cellular transportation after interaction with its receptor
(2013)Objective: The effect of IGF-1 in the human pleural permeability and the underlying mechanisms involved were investigated. Design: Specimens from thoracic surgical patients were mounted in Ussing chambers. Solutions ... -
In silico transcriptomic analysis of wound-healing-associated genes in malignant pleural mesothelioma
(2019)Background and objectives: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a devastating malignancy with poor prognosis. Reliable biomarkers for MPM diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis are needed. The aim of this study was to ... -
New aspects of pleural physiology
(1997)The difference between oncotic and hydrostatic pressures of pleura and lung is believed to be the explanation for the of removal of fluid from the visceral pleura. Recent studies have shown that the lymphatic stomas which ... -
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Alter the Human Mesothelial Pleural Permeability via Ion Cellular Transportation by Inhibiting Prostaglandin Synthesis
(2012)Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used in clinical practice as analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Studies have implicated them in participating in permeability throughout various tissues ... -
Pleural effusion osmolality correlation with pH and glucose level of pleural fluid and its effects on the pleural membrane permeability
(2021)Background and aim: Pleural effusions (PE) are a common clinical entity resulting from pathologies that affect the pleural space such as congestive heart failure, malignancy and pneumonia. The osmolality of the pleural ... -
Pleural electrophysiology alterations in spontaneous pneumothorax patients
(2010)Physiology changes of the pleura in spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) patients are not known with its etiology remaining unclear. The aim of the study was to investigate the pleural electrophysiology profile of SP patients and ... -
Pleural electrophysiology variations according to location in pleural cavity
(2009)The aim of the study was to compare the electrophysiology profile of sheep pleura originated from different locations of the pleural cavity with the respective profile in humans. Sheep specimens obtained from upper and ... -
Prehospital NSAIDs use prolong hospitalization in patients with pleuro-pulmonary infection
(2017)Objective Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) pre-hospitalization consumption might affect the course of pneumonia. We opted to assess the potential effects of pre-hospitalization use of NSAIDs in patients with ... -
The role of nitric oxide in pleural disease
(2021)Nitric oxide (NO) regulates various physiological and pathophysiological functions in the lungs. However, there is much less information about the effects of NO in the pleura. The present review aimed to explore the available ... -
Silver nanoparticles alter cell adhesion and proliferation of sheep primary mesothelial cells
(2018)Background: Human exposure to engineered nanoparticles has been linked to pleural effusion, inflammation and fibrosis. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in medical and domestic products, increasing the risk of ... -
Silver nanoparticles alter the permeability of sheep pleura and of sheep and human pleural mesothelial cell monolayers
(2017)Nanoparticles have been implicated in the development of pleural effusions in exposed factory workers while in experimental animal studies it has been shown that they induce inflammation, fibrosis and carcinogenesis in the ... -
VEGF increases the permeability of sheep pleura ex vivo through VEGFR2 stimulation
(2014)Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine that increases vascular permeability to water and proteins and induces angiogenesis, has been implicated in the development of pleural effusions. Inflammatory and ...
