1.	Reperfusion Injury 09/01/1997 - "BACKGROUND: Antioxidant treatment with lazeroids has proven beneficial for the amelioration of reperfusion injury in experimental lung transplantation. " 09/01/1991 - "The above results suggest that EC-SOD plays an important role in cyto-protection against reperfusion injury after lung transplantation." 06/01/2002 - "However, Group 3 had improved pulmonary artery pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, arterial oxygenation, and wet-to-dry weight ratio measurements compared with Group 2. CONCLUSIONS: High-flow reperfusion results in severe reperfusion injury after lung transplantation. " 12/01/2002 - "CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the mode of mechanical ventilation used in the early phase of reperfusion of the transplanted lung can influence ischemia-reperfusion injury, and a protective ventilatory strategy on the basis of minimizing pulmonary mechanical stress can lead to improved lung function after lung transplantation." 04/01/1999 - "In this study, transforming growth factor-beta1 was transfected to proximal pulmonary artery segments, and the efficacy of transforming growth factor-beta1 transfection was examined in ischemia-reperfusion injury and acute rejection models of rat lung transplantation.

2.	Lung Diseases (Lung Disease) 10/01/2005 - "BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation is effective for end-stage pulmonary disease, but its successful application is still limited by organ shortage and sub-optimal preservation techniques. " 08/01/2003 - "Lung transplantation usually provides prolongation and marked improvement in quality of life in patients who would otherwise die from end-stage pulmonary disease. " 03/01/1991 - "These survival figures represent a marked improvement in the prognosis of patients with end-stage lung disease who are candidates for lung transplantation since such subjects should have an expected survival of less than two years without this intervention. " 01/15/2009 - "Lung transplantation offers the hope of prolonged survival and significant improvement in quality of life to patients that have advanced lung diseases. " 12/01/1993 - "Combined heart and lung transplantation has been shown to provide successful therapy for patients with end-stage heart and lung disease. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Cystic Fibrosis (Mucoviscidosis) 12/01/1997 - "End-stage cystic fibrosis: improved diabetes control 2 years after successful isolated pancreatic cell and double-lung transplantation." 05/01/1992 - "These data support the therapeutic efficacy of lung transplantation for patients with cystic fibrosis." 10/01/2008 - "Moreover, there are several series describing long-term outcomes and demonstrating improved long-term survival following lung transplantation for patients with cystic fibrosis. " 03/01/2007 - "Improved survival following lung transplantation with long-term use of bilevel positive pressure ventilation in cystic fibrosis." 05/01/2004 - "Improved quality of life after lung transplantation in individuals with cystic fibrosis."

4.	Infection 04/01/2005 - "(1) To appreciate the interobserver variation in the interpretation of histologic findings and (2) to assess the efficacy of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) for acute rejection diagnosis and associated diseases, particularly infection, we performed a retrospective study including 53 consecutive patients who underwent at least one clinically indicated TBB during the first 6 months after lung transplantation. " 01/01/1991 - "Early diagnosis and effective treatment of pulmonary CMV infection after lung transplantation." 01/01/2002 - "Although fraught with potential serious complications, including infection, rejection, and death, lung transplantation may offer overall improvement in mortality rates and quality of life." 11/01/2008 - "CONCLUSIONS: Proactive AC following lung transplantation was not associated with a reduced incidence of respiratory infection, alteration of CXR findings or improvement in airway characteristics." 10/01/2006 - "Fiberoptic bronchoscopy remains the gold standard to establish the presence or absence of acute pulmonary allograft rejection or infection after lung transplantation (LT). " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Pulmonary Hypertension (Ayerza Syndrome) 04/01/2006 - "She underwent living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT), which led to remarkable improvement in both pulmonary hypertension and PLE. " 12/01/1997 - "CONCLUSION: Thus, pulmonary thrombendarterectomy is an effective treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension with results superior to those of lung transplantation." 06/01/1996 - "CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that right lung transplantation is superior to left lung transplantation for pulmonary hypertension in terms of exercise performance in this animal model." 10/01/1993 - "Two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrates sustained improvement in right ventricular function after single-lung transplantation for severe pulmonary hypertension despite severe preoperative dysfunction." 01/01/1989 - "We concluded that single lung transplantation could be an effective treatment for pulmonary hypertension."
