Sentence examples for alveolar number from inspiring English sources

Hyperoxia-induced developmental deficits in lung growth were documented by decreased alveolarization (measured as alveolar number per high power field and alveolar area) at both d14 and d28 (see Figure 1 Supplementary Material available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/408485).org/10.1155/2013/408485

(a) Representative histology (original magnification × 10) demonstrates marked abnormalities in alveolar development with decreased alveolar number, larger alveolar spaces, and increased cellularity.

Better design-based stereological alternatives exist but are less often applied, such as total volumes of parenchymal compartments (alveolar airspace, alveolar duct airspace, alveolar septum), total alveolar surface area, total alveolar number and mean alveolar size and its size variation.

Compared with unventilated controls, MV caused a 3-fold increase in alveolar area, approximately 50% reduction in alveolar number and endothelial surface area, >5-fold increase in apoptosis, >50% decrease in lung VEGF-R2 protein, 4-fold increase of pSmad2 protein, and >50% increase in lung elastin, which was distributed throughout alveolar walls rather than at septal tips.

Mice deficient in SP-D (SP-D−/−) spontaneously develop typical emphysematous and inflammatory alterations: a significant decrease in alveolar number, accumulation of enlarged alveolar macrophages overproduction of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), hypertrophy and hyperplasia of alveolar type II cells and disturbances of surfactant homoeostasis.

Using a novel method of polarized gas inhalation, which can identify the dynamic change in structures as small as alveoli and alveolar ducts, it was shown that increasing lung volume with PEEP actually decreased alveolar size, while increasing alveolar number [44].

Mice bearing deletions of retinoic acid receptors demonstrate reduced lung elastin and alveolar numbers.

Mean alveolar numbers (MAN) (/mm) = Na/A.

Seventy two hours after re-feeding, however, rat lungs are re-modelled with normal alveolar numbers and surface areas [ 7].

The mean linear intercept (MLI) and the mean alveolar numbers (MAN) per unit area were determined in a blinded manner.

However, although at the point of secondary infection (5 dpi), we observe a trend to reduced alveolar macrophage numbers, their numbers are similar in resistant CCR2−/− and susceptible wild-type mice.
