Análise semiquantitativa de biópsias cirúrgicas de diferentes lobos pulmonares de pacientes com pneumonia intersticial usual/fibrose pulmonar idiopática

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the differences between surgical biopsies of distinct lung lobes in terms of the histopathological features of usual interstitial pneumonia, using a semiquantitative score. Methods: We selected all of the patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and submitted to surgical biopsy in two distinct lobes between 1995 and 2005 at the Hospital São Paulo and other hospitals operated by the Federal University of São Paulo. In the histological evaluation of the specimens, we used a se… Show more

“…( 43 ) The damaged epithelial cells adopt a mesenchymal behavior during the tissue repair process, producing fibrogenic cytokines. ( 1 , 44 ) Because IPF is a disease that is limited to the lungs, there is much debate about the presence of autoantibodies and clinical manifestations of occult CTD in patients with IPF. According to the recently published Brazilian Thoracic Association Guidelines for ILDs, up to 25% of patients have low-titer ANF and RF.…”

“…( 43 ) As células epiteliais lesadas adquirem um comportamento mesenquimal no processo de reparo tecidual, produzindo citocinas de padrão fibrogênico. ( 1 , 44 ) Em sendo uma doença limitada ao pulmão, muito se discute sobre a presença de autoanticorpos e de manifestações clínicas ocultas de DTC nessa população. Nas diretrizes brasileiras publicadas recentemente, é descrita a positividade de FAN e FR em baixos títulos em até 25% dos pacientes.…”
