Angiotensin convertase activities in human alveolar macrophages: effects of cigarette smoking and sarcoidosis.

Angiotensin I convertase activity has been found in human alveolar macrophages from normal volunteers and patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. This activity is higher in the alveolar macrophages from smokers than from nonsmokers, and is even more elevated in sarcoid patients. The activity can be detected with both angiotensin I and bradykinin analogs and appears to require protein synthesis, but the enzyme is not secreted by alveolar macrophages in culture.

Epithelioid cell granulomata in the mucosa of the small intestine in Whipple's disease.

This report is the first description of sarcoid-like epithelioid cell granulomata in the mucosa of the small intestine in a case of Whipple's disease. The epithelioid cells do not contain PAS-positive material or products of bacterial degradation. Their ultrastructural features characterize them as histiocytes which have become secretory rather than phagocytic. These sarcoid-like lesions are considered to be a morphological manifestation of an immunological process in Whipple's disease and not to represent evidence of sarcoidosis as a concomitant or associated disorder.
