“…Bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT)'de ise interkostal aralık komşuluğunda 1 mm kalınlığında ince şerit olarak (intercostal stripe) izlenir. Bu şeriti içten dışa doğru viseral plevra, fizyolojik minimal plevral sıvı, pariyetal plevra, endotorasik fasya ve en içteki interkostal kas oluşturmaktadır (1).…”

“…İntravenöz (İV) iyotlu kontrast madde enjeksiyonundan ardından alınan görüntüler parankimal ve mediastinal damarların görünebilirliliğini arttırmakta ayrıca plevra patolojilerindeki kontrastlanma değerlendirile-bilmektedir (2-4). Yapılacak BT'de görüntüleme alan (FOV: field of view) tüm plevral yüzeyi ve diyafragmayı içine alacak şekilde üstte toraks giriminden, altta L3 vertebra düzeyine dek uzanmalıdır (1). Bu yöntemle 0,5 mm kesit kalınlığında görüntüler elde edilebilmekte bu görüntüler üzerinde 3 boyutlu görüntüler, koronal, sagittal veya oblik reformat görüntüler elde edilebilmektedir.…”

“…Her ne kadar bir fikir verse de bu inceleme uzun inceleme zamanları gerektirdiğinden pek pratik değildir. Ayrıca ampiyem olgularında yağ baskılı T2A görüntülerde ekstrapevral yaglı mesafedeki artmış sinyal intensitesi ve ampiyem içerisindeki fibrotik septalar izlenebilir (1).…”

Pleural infection remains a major healthcare problem in the 21st century. It is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in both adults and children across developed as well as developing countries. Its incidence continues to rise globally despite the introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in 2000 and modern advances in medical care. The pathobiology of empyema remains relatively poorly understood and its changing bacteriology over time is important to recognize as it is likely to have future implications in terms of patient management, outcome, and healthcare costs. Many questions still remain regarding the diagnosis and management of pleural infection. This paper reviews current data on biomarkers, bacterial tests, and imaging modalities, in addition to discussing potential future directions on research in the field.

The immunological effects of asbestos exposure on various lymphocytes such as the regulatory T cell (Treg), responder CD4+ T helper cell (Tresp), CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), and natural killer (NK) cells were investigated. Results show that asbestos exposure impairs antitumor immunity through enhancement of regulatory T cell function and volume, reduction of CXCR3 chemokine receptor in responder CD4+ T helper cells, and impairment of the killing activities of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and NK cells. These findings were used to explore biological markers associated with asbestos exposure and asbestos-induced cancers and suggested the usefulness of serum/plasma IL-10 and TGF-β, surface CXCR3 expression in Tresp, the secreting potential of IFN-γ in Tresp, intracellular perforin level in CTL, and surface expression NKp46 in NK cells. Although other unexplored cytokines in serum/plasma and molecules in these immunological cells, including Th17, should be investigated by experimental procedures in addition to a comprehensive analysis of screening methods, biomarkers based on immunological alterations may be helpful in clinical situations to screen the high-risk population exposed to asbestos and susceptible to asbestos-related cancers such as mesothelioma.
