By comparison of germ-free and conventional mice, many of the morphologic characteristics
of the ideal mucosa ordinarily recognized as normal were demonstrated actually to develop …

The rate of propulsion of gastrointestinal contents was compared in germfree and conventional
mice using a non-absorbable radioactive substance, yttrium 91. Following intragastric …

Methods were investigated to acoustically control the extent to which cavitation-mediated
tissue homogenization is responsible for lesion formation in vitro. These results may guide …

Experiments were performed in the dog to examine the effects of neutropenia on ultimate
infarct size resulting from short (90 minutes) or prolonged (4 hours) circumflex coronary artery …

Theoretic and in vitro evidence suggests that thrombosis and inflammation are interrelated.
The purpose of the present study was to define the relationship between inflammation and …

PURPOSE: To describe and estimate the frequency of fibroelastic cords or bands projecting
from the false lumen wall ("aortic cobwebs") in acute and chronic dissections. MATERIALS …

Previous studies demonstrated a significant reduction of ultimate infarct size in the canine
heart by the combined administration of superoxide dismutase plus catalase. This study was …

Strictly anaerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria were isolated from the intestinal tract
of normal mice. Germ-free mice were associated with mixtures of varying complexity of pure …

Earlier work had shown that a collection of anaerobic bacteria, in conjunction with
facultative anaerobes, may be implanted into germfree mice, thereby rendering the animals “normal” …

PURPOSE: To determine the intravascular ultrasound (US) features of aortic dissection that
can be used to differentiate the true from the false lumen. MATERIALS AND METHODS: …
