| | Corneal epithelial adhesion was assessed immediately preoperatively using a cellulose surgical sponge (adhesion test), and the incidence, extent, and location of epithelial defects occurring during the microkeratome incision of the corneal flap were recorded. | | | The adhesion test was positive in 16 (80%) of corneas having macrodefects, with 4 (20%) false negatives. | | | Thus, the overall positive predictive value of the adhesion test [using a cellulose surgical sponge] was 59% |

| | CHEST: Is asthma an epithelial disease? - The Thomas L. Petty 37th Aspen Lung Conference: Asthma - Structure and ... |
| | As the role of the airway epithelial cell in asthma is defined, it seems likely that new opportunities for therapeutic intervention will be possible. | | | Prostaglandin E, for example, is a product of airway epithelial cells[4] and has been suggested to mediate smooth muscle relaxation induced by airway epithelium.[5-7] Nitric oxide has been suggested as an additional epithelial-derived smooth muscle relaxing factor. | | | Sousa and colleagues,[26] for example, have used immunohistochemical techniques to demonstrate increased granulocyte monocyte colony stimulating factor (GMCSF) production by the asthmatic airway epithelium. |

| | Epithelial-Fibroblast Interactions in Bleomycin-induced Lung Injury and Repair |
| | In considering the mechanisms underlying pulmonary fibrosis after epithelial injury, most studies have focused on cytokine production and fibroblast stimulation by macrophages in particular (10). | | | We examined whether lung injury and subsequent fibrosis are associated with disturbance of this mutual control system. | | | This system may be effective in repairing acute focal injury. |

| | The Varied and Surprising Spectrum of Mutations in Epithelial Cells - DERT |
| | Background: Epithelial cells, such as skin cells, cells that line the intestinal and respiratory tracts, etc., comprise about 60% of the cells in the human body and are the source of about 85% of human cancers. | | | These studies show that epithelial mutations may be more important in epithelial cell disease development that previously realized. | | | Despite these numbers and the importance of epithelial cells in normal biology and physiology and disease development, very few studies have been performed on the frequency or breadth of mutations in epithelial cell lines. |

| | REGULATION OF EBV INFECTION IN EPITHELIAL CELLS |
| | Abstract: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in humans is associated with the development of both lymphoid and epithelial cell malignancies. | | | In this grant, we propose to continue our long-term studies investigating the mechanisms by which EBV latency is maintained or disrupted, with particular emphasis upon understanding the biology of EBV infection in epithelial cells. | | | The proposed studies should help define why EBV infection is normally lytic in epithelial cells (but not B cells), and will explore the mechanisms by which EBV infection becomes latent during the development of NPC. |
