| In addition, thymic atrophy occurs secondary to decreased thymic hormone secretion, which leads to decreased T-lymphocyte production. |
|
| Cervical thymic masses are congenital lesions that result from aberrant thymic migration during embryogenesis. |
|
| After partial decerebration, the thymic cortical and medullary compartments diminished markedly in size. |
|
| Rare cases of thymomas, thymic carcinomas, and lymphomas have been reported. |
|
| Final diagnoses included one bronchogenic cyst and one combined bronchogenic cyst and thymic hyperplasia. |
|
| Routine sections revealed normal thymic tissue with fatty involution and no evidence of tumor. |
|
| Progressive growth of a spontaneous T cell lymphoma, designated as Dalton's lymphoma, causes suppression of immune responses and thymic atrophy. |
|
| Most of these lesions arise as a consequence of migrational defects during thymic embryogenesis. |
|
| In addition to the alveolar epithelial cells, host immune cells located outside the lung, such as splenic and thymic cells, undergo apoptosis during influenza infections. |
|
| They may be located within the thorax embedded in thymic tissue, in the posterior mediastinum, and in the areolar tissue associated with the pericardium. |
|
| A class of lymphocytes, so called because they are derived from the thymus and have been through thymic processing. |
|
| It is known that most of the lymphocytes that are produced in the thymic cortex die without leaving the organ. |
|
| Histological findings included lymphoid depletion and thymic and adrenal atrophy. |
|
| Different approaches have been taken to elucidate the genetic program regulating thymic organogenesis. |
|
| The systemic immune effects include increased apoptosis of thymocytes, decreased macrophage phagocytosis, thymic atrophy and diminished allograft rejection. |
|
| This happens because more thymic insulin is produced, and this is strongly bound by the MHC-DRB1 DR2 variant. |
|
| The effect of thymic peptide on the functions of tissue macrophages, tumor-associated macrophages, and tumor-induced apoptosis of thymocytes was studied. |
|
| On March 5, 2009, Michael M. Gordon died peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family after a year-long battle with thymic cancer. |
|
| Two thymic primordia arise in the ventral wings of the third pharyngeal pouch. |
|
| Dose-related histopathological changes consisted of thymic involution, adrenal atrophy, lymphoid depletion in lymph nodes and spleen, and glycogenic infiltration of the liver. |
|
|
|
| Interviews were done on the day of patients' clinic visit by a psychiatrist, blinded to thymic status. |
|
| The coincidence of highly prevalent, high-titer IFN autoantibodies in patients with thymic epithelial tumors or genetic defects in AIRE suggests parallel mechanisms of autoimmunization in the APECED thymus and thymomas. |
|
| The aggravation was consistent with eosinophilic inflammation, mast cell degranulation, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin expression in the ear. |
|
| Microscopic pathology was again consistent with the administration of a potent glucocorticoid showing thymic and adrenal atrophy, lymphoid depletion in rats and dogs and glycogenic vacuolation of the liver in dogs. |
|
| Animals progressively lost condition and body weight and the effects seen were thymic depletion and various lesions associated with a compromised immune system. |
|
| This unique ability to select a functionally competent repertoire of T cells is dependent on the presence, the regular composition and the normal architectural organization of thymic stromal cells. |
|
| Other effects included thymic gland depletion, seen at low doses in monkeys and in rats, and increases in the number and size of thyroid follicles in rats. |
|
| In an early study of 1, 5, or 10 percent mannitol, given for 94 weeks in the diet of Wistar rats, a low incidence of benign thymic tumors occurred in females, which was apparently treatmentrelated. |
|
| One of these patients, with thymic cancer, experienced stable disease. |
|
| Although thymic pathology has been reported in Java sparrows, we describe the long-term management of thymic lymphoma of a clinical case. |
|
| Expression of bcl-2 in fetal thymus, thymomas and thymic carcinomas. |
|
| It was known that the epithelial cells which line the airways in the lungs produce a protein called thymic stromal lymphopoietin that causes inflammation. |
|
| Within the thymus, thymic epithelial cells provide key inductive microenvironments for the development and selection of T cells that arise from hematopoietic progenitors. |
|
| Thymic tissue can span from the level of the diaphragm to the thyroid, making surgical dissection difficult. |
|
| Thymic carcinoids are more aggressive than thymomas and cause more superior vena cava obstruction. |
