 | Potential therapeutic applications of hyaluronan in the lung. |  f3-copd-2-283: Photomicrograph showing attachment of fluorescein-labeled HA to alveolar macrophages. By coating the cell surface, HA could block interactions with various cytokines.Bottom Line: The effect of HA on inflammation appears to be related to its molecular size, with larger polysaccharide chains having anti-inflammatory activity and smaller ones having proinflammatory properties.The breakdown of inhaled HA into smaller fragments could possibly... | Cantor JO - Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis (2007) |

 | Ureteroiliac fistula: a case report review of the literature. |  fig-003: Post stent graft angiogram. A stent graft is seen within the distal common iliac artery.Bottom Line: Ureteroiliac fistulas are rare but potentially life-threatening.Risk factors to develop a fistula are chronic indwelling ureteral stents, previous pelvic surgery and radiotherapy.We report a case of a patient with intermittent gross hematuria after previous... | Mitterberger M, Frauscher F, Steppan I, Peschel R, et al. - Cases J (2009) |

 | Aneurysm of the Superior Posterior Pancreatic-Duodenal Artery Presenting with Recurrent Syncopes. |  Figure 2: Selective angiography of the superior mesenteric artery. Approximately 5 cm from the major branch a small bleeding infarction is visible. Also, a large connection between the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac trunk via the gastroduodenal artery is present....Bottom Line: We present a 61-year-old woman with hypovolemic shock due to a ruptured aneurysm of the superior posterior pancreatic-duodenal artery in whom recurrent syncopes were the first presenting sign of pancreatic-duodenal artery aneurysm (PDAA).PDAA is a rare but... | van Doesburg IA, Boerma D, van Leersum M, et al. - Case Rep Gastroenterol (2009) |

 | Interaction of erythrocyte membranes with particulates. |  Bottom Line: Chrysotile fibers promoted the fusion of human erythrocyte membranes and the hemolysis and fusion of fowl erythrocytes.Amosite and glass fibers did not show the same effect.These findings provide a model for the internalization of the fibers by animal cells. | Ottolenghi AC, Joseph LB, Newman HA, Stephens RE - Environ.
