Disease relevance of Pneumonectomy

 

High impact information on Pneumonectomy

  • Left pneumonectomy in the mature rat led to an increase of [3Ha1 thymidine incorporation into DNA of the remaining lung in the first 3 postoperative days, and resulted in a subsequent 38% increase of lung weight and 41% increase of lung tissue volume measured 1 wk after surgery [6].
  • Functional consequences of lung volume reduction surgery for COPD [7].
  • Lung volume reduction surgery. This official statement of the American Thoracic Society was adopted by the ATS Board of Directors, May 1996 [8].
  • In this study, we examined the expression of HIMF in mouse lung after pneumonectomy to test the hypothesis that HIMF expression is upregulated during compensatory lung growth [9].
  • RESULTS: Initial CT scans were obtained 34 months +/- 67 (standard deviation) after pneumonectomy; multiple CT scans were obtained in 58 patients during follow-up of 25.1 months +/- 24 [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Pneumonectomy

 

Biological context of Pneumonectomy

  • 52 eligible, consenting, chemotherapy-naïve patients with NSCLC, median age of 60 years, stage IIIA N2 disease and the ability to tolerate a pneumonectomy received paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 as a 3-h infusion followed by carboplatin at an area under the concentration curve (AUC) of 6 every 3 weeks for three courses [16].
  • In our opinion a higher pulmonary drug concentration of amiodarone could exist from a change in pharmacokinetics because of a low fat storage in a thin patient and compensatory growth of the remaining lung which occurs after pneumonectomy [17].
  • OBJECTIVES: A report from the National Emphysema Treatment Trial indicated that lung volume reduction candidates with a forced expiratory volume in 1 second and a diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide of 20% or less of predicted value were at high risk for mortality and were unlikely to benefit from surgical intervention [18].
  • Cardiac output and O2 delivery were reduced at a given O2 consumption after pneumonectomy [19].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Lung volume reduction surgery in select, ventilator-dependent COPD patients can result in improved gas exchange and respiratory mechanics that enable successful weaning and overall improved functional status [20].
 

Anatomical context of Pneumonectomy

  • Elevation of serum human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) level in patients with pneumonectomy during a perioperative period [21].
  • METHODS: Between 1/87 and 10/97, 129 patients (90 male, 39 female, mean age 57.8 years, range: 15-78 years) underwent pneumonectomy by one surgeon (W.K.). In 14 patients, additional resection procedures were performed (aorta n = 6, vena cava n = 5, thoracic wall n = 3) [22].
  • Resection extended to the lung (10 wedge resections, 2 lobectomies and 1 pneumonectomy) in 13 patients, diaphragm in 3, abdominal wall in 2, brachiocephalic and subclavian vessels in 5, superior vena cava in 1 and upper limb in 1 [23].
  • Our study suggests that the mediastinum should be stabilized in the midline after repair of a diaphragmatic hernia or after a pneumonectomy in an infant or small child [24].
  • This was due to anatomical changes after the pneumonectomy that resulted in direct blood flow from the inferior vena cava through a previously unrecognised atrial septal defect into the left atrium [25].
 

Associations of Pneumonectomy with chemical compounds

  • PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-seven chemotherapy-naive patients with NSCLC, median age of 58 years, stage IIIA N2 disease, World Health Organization performance status of 0 or 1, and the ability to tolerate a pneumonectomy received gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8, and 15 and cisplatin 100 mg/m(2) on day 2, every 4 weeks [26].
  • Dynamic pulmonary xenon-133 single-photon emission tomography (SPET) with three-dimensional (3D) displays was preliminarily applied to select resection targets for thoracoscopic lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) and to assess regional ventilatory changes following surgery [27].
  • For a study of penetration of enoxacin into lung, patients undergoing pneumonectomy were given 400 mg by mouth the night before and again approx 2 h before operation [28].
  • Estimation of diffusion limitation after pneumonectomy from carbon monoxide diffusing capacity [29].
  • After pneumonectomy, the animals reached O2 consumptions close to the maximum expected for normal dogs [19].
 

Gene context of Pneumonectomy

  • We examined the mRNA abundance of IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) in lungs of rats on postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 following left pneumonectomy (PNX) or shamoperation (SC) and in normal animals (CON) [30].
  • We conclude that the changes observed in lung IGF and IGFBP expression following pneumonectomy do not represent major [30].
  • Transcripts for IGFBP-2, -3, -4, -5, and -6 were decreased in both the SC and PNX groups compared to CON animals on the day following pneumonectomy, then rose back to baseline by postoperative day 2-3 [30].
  • Pneumonectomy results in rapid compensatory growth of the remaining lung and also leads to increased flow and shear stress, which are known to stimulate endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) [31].
  • Changes in atrial natriuretic peptide concentration and expression of its receptors after pneumonectomy in the rat [32].
