Pneumonectomy: The final cut in a rare incidence of persistent bronchopleural fistula following empyema.

abstract：:Pneumocyte apoptosis is implicated in the pathophysiology of acute inflammatory lung injuries in newborns and adults. Pulmonary angiotensin (ANG) II contributes to lung epithelial apoptosis in vitro, but its role in acute lung injury in vivo is unclear. We therefore studied the effects of ANG II receptor action on the...
