Dr Cai works on translational research including molecular markers of lung cancer.
This includes lung specification, the formation of a lung primordium, and conserved expression of genetic markers of lung differentiation.
Inflammatory markers and markers of lung injury were assessed as secondary outcomes.
Fig. 2 Markers of lung injury in BALf after indicated study interval.
In addition, a SOD mimetic decreased the markers of lung inflammation and improved lung permeability.
Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was analyzed for markers of lung injury, and embedded lung sections were histologically scored for lung injury.
Stem cell transplantation of systemic sclerosis patients with lung involvement resulted in demonstrable attenuation of thoracic high-resolution CT (HRCT) abnormalities and serum markers of lung fibrosis.
Genetic markers of lung cancer susceptibility, such as the common variant of the glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 gene (GSTM1-null), confer small probabilities of disease risk.
In search of early markers of lung cancer, pulmonary and critical care physicians Avrum Spira and Jerome Brody of the Boston Medical Center sampled bronchial tube epithelial cells from 85 people.
Both these predictor variables are markers of lung growth and function.
Its levels correlated with the BODE index in both genders and with markers of lung hyperinflation (IC/TLC) and emphysema (DLCO) in men.
