Ambient pollutants and occupational pollutants may cause and exacerbate various lung
and respiratory diseases. This review describes lung and respiratory diseases in relation to …

Background Molecular biological modalities with better detection rates have been applied
to identify the bacteria causing infectious diseases. Approximately 10–48% of bacterial …

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy,
is a rare non-neoplastic disease that is characterized by a proliferation of histiocytes …

Background: We conducted intratracheal instillations of different molecular weights of polyacrylic
acid (PAA) into rats in order to examine what kinds of physicochemical characteristics …

We herein report a rare case of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (p-MALT)
lymphoma with multiple cystic lesions. A previously healthy 58-year-old Japanese woman …

We conducted intratracheal instillations of polyacrylic acid (PAA) with crosslinking and non-crosslinking
into rats in order to examine what kinds of physicochemical characteristics of …

Angiosarcoma originates from the vascular endothelium and accounts for only 1-2% of all
sarcomatous malignancies. The skin is one of the most common primary sites. However, …

Background Some organic chemicals are known to cause allergic disorders such as bronchial
asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and it has been considered that they do not …

Background and objective Recent advances in cultivation‐independent molecular biological
modalities for detecting bacterial species have indicated that several bacterial species may …

This work determines whether cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractants (CINC)-1,
CINC-2 and CINC-3 can be markers for predicting high or low pulmonary toxicity of …
