Diagnostic Implications

The Silver Stain modified GMS kit is intended for use in the histologic demonstration of fungi,basement membrane and some opportunistic organisms. The Silver Stain kit is for “In VitroDiagnostic Use.” For professional use only. The data obtained from this manual, qualitativeprocedure identifies fungi, basement membrane and some opportunistic organisms in tissuesamples of human specimens. This data when reviewed in conjunction with other diagnostic testsand information may be used as an aid to diagnosis of fungal infections.

Polyamine levels are greatly increased in alveolar macrophages (AMs) during Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), leading to increased production of H(2)O(2), which causes AMs to undergo apoptosis. One of the mechanisms by which polyamine levels in AMs are elevated is enhanced uptake

A procedure for processing frozen rat lung tissue sections for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) from deeply frozen samples initially collected and stored for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was developed. The procedure employed slow thawing of the frozen

Although anti-fungal triazoles are dosed orally or systemically for Aspergillus fumigatus infection, systemic adverse events and limited exposure of the lung cavity would make a topical treatment for the lung an attractive option. In this study, we examined the effects

Mutant forms of TRPC6 can activate NFAT-dependent transcription in vitro via calcium influx and activation of calcineurin. The same TRPC6 mutants can cause FSGS, but whether this involves an NFAT-dependent mechanism is unknown. Here, we generated mice that allow conditional
