14) Hence, they proposed a set of diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of PPFE, the criteria comprising the presence of multilobar subpleural and/or centrilobular fibrous interstitial pneumonia characterized by more than 80% proliferation of
elastic fibers in the nonatelectatic lung in association with absent to scant chronic inflammation and no or rare granulomas.
Degenerative processes of
elastic fibers in sun-protected and sun-exposed skin: immunoelectron microscopic observation of elastin, fibrillin-1, amyloid P component, lysozyme and alpha1-antitrypsin.
An ultrastructural study of ultraviolet-induced
elastic fiber damage in hairless mouse skin.
Furthermore, SPP1 is a constitutive component of human skin and aorta, where it is localized to the
elastic fiber and hypothesized to prevent calcification in the fibers (18).
1 Red and blue filters helped win first prize for Marc Van Hove, an engineer at Centexbel (Belgian Textile Research Institute), Gent, Belgium, for his photo of an
elastic fiber bundles used in sportswear.
They reported an increase in the collagen content and a reduction in smooth muscles and
elastic fibers in treated rats.
A skin biopsy taken from the raised border of the plaque revealed a typical transepidermal tunnel containing destroyed
elastic fibers through the acanthotic epidermis.
An
elastic fiber in a glass tube was heated to break under a load of 6.
Results from the histological analyses suggest that repair and regeneration of the
elastic fiber network occurred during the 6 weeks of treatment with ELASTIderm.
The thickness of the aorta was measured by
elastic fiber staining, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and phosphorylated-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (P-ERK) were detected in aortic tissues.
T400' fiber is a new melt-spun
elastic fiber from INVISTA based on multi- component technology that revolutionizes the comfort hand wrinkle resistance and easy care of contemporary fabrics.
In addition, it stimulates the synthesis both of elastin and of essential elastin-related proteins, helping to preserve a fully-functional
elastic fiber network.
