Examples in Context

  1. Objective To investigate the effects of moderate hypothermia on the permeability of alveolar capillary membrane in acute lung injury ( ALI ) induced by lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ).
  2. Conclusion Moderate hypothermia significantly decreases the increased permeability of alveolar capillary membrane in a rat model of ALI induced by LPS.
  3. Inflammatory corpuscle in lung ( for example neutrophil 、 macrophagus ) lost of control could lead to damage of alveolar capillary membrane which is the base of pulmonary capillary vasopermeability increasing.
  4. PLAP may be not only a marker of alveolar type I cells injury, but also interrelated with the permeability increase of alveolar - capillary membrane after smoke inhalation.
  5. Transmission electron microscope showed the proliferation of ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells and capillary basement membrane, capillary endothelia electron density increased with mitochondria swollen.
