The effects of granulation tissue exposure on regeneration of sensory axons after a test crush lesion in rat sciatic nerves were studied. Chromic catgut threads were applied subcutaneously in the back of rats. Three weeks later the surrounding granulation tissue was isolated and transposed to the sciatic or tibial nerve in the same rat. Immunocytochemical, light and electron microscopic evaluation
In ratio control, the control objective is to keep the ratio between two signals, normally flow measurements, at a desired value in spite of variations in setpoints and load disturbances, and possible control signal saturations. This paper presents a new ratio control scheme, the Tracking Ratio Station, that manages to handle all these situations. It is also able to keep the ratio when one of the
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) is expressed in a population of capsaicin-sensitive primary sensory neurons of small to medium size in the rat. In the present report we have examined the effect of sciatic nerve injury (unilateral transection) on PACAP expression (immunocytochemistry, radioimmunoassay, in situ hybridization and northern blot analysis) in dorsal root ganglia a
More than in any other European country, the modern history of Belarus is a product of World War II. The unification, homogenization and Sovietization of that country are all direct results of the war. World War II - or the Great Patriotic War, as the conflict is still called in Belarus - built legitimacy and constituted the raison d'etre for the political elite in the most conservative of the Sov
Time-dependent distribution of extracellular proteins (albumin, fibrinogen, fibronectin, collagen-I and IgG) in the interface zone between implant and soft tissue has been investigated utilizing a recently developed method. Commercially pure (c.p.) titanium and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) implants were inserted in the abdominal wall of rats for 1, 6 and 12 weeks followed by a mild fixation, cry
Of the more than 2,000 Scandinavian newspapers published in North America prior to World War I, few have been preserved for posterity. One long-forgotten paper recently resurfaced: the Norwegian language newspaper Vikingen of Edmonton, Alberta, published by the Scandinavian Literary and Youth Societies on the eve of World War I. A survey of Vikingen’s editorials provides an insight into an active
Forty-four rat sciatic nerves with partial defects were repaired with a silicone chamber. Each partial defect was created by resecting a 10 mm segment from the tibial fascicle leaving the peroneal fascicle intact. The proximal and the distal stumps of the tibial fascicle together with the intact peroneal fascicle were encased in a single silicone chamber. After seven days a fibrin matrix had surro
The optimal time for nerve suture in transected rat sciatic nerve was investigated. The sciatic nerve on both side nerves were transected and repaired by an epineurial suture technique 0-28 days after nerve transection. The regeneration distance was measured by the sensory pinch reflex test 2-6 days after nerve repair. The initial delay period and the regeneration rate were calculated by using a n
In the present study, the authors reevaluated the temporal course and properties of neurotrophic activities present in the fluid accumulating in the silicone-chamber model for nerve regeneration. The fluid collected from silicone chambers was tested in four different dissociated neuronal cell cultures. Furthermore, the activity of the chamber fluid was examined, using a cell blot technique. There
We have developed a silicone nerve regeneration chamber that is partitioned into two compartments by a strip of nitrocellulose paper. The modified two-compartment chamber allows the investigation of the effects on rat sciatic nerve regeneration of trophic or growth factors that are initially bound to the nitrocellulose partition. In this study we compared the effects of untreated nitrocellulose, a
An extracellular matrix preparation, the human amnion membrane matrix (hAMM) can serve as a neurite-promoting substratum for cultured peripheral and central neurons, and also as a support for axonal growth in experimentally injured adult brain in vivo. In the present study, we tested similar materials as bridges in a silicone chamber model for the regeneration of sciatic nerve in the adult rat. Si
Chondroadherin is a cartilage protein with cell binding properties. The expression of chondroadherin was studied in rat tissues and during postnatal femoral head development. For design of oligonucleotide probes and primers a 1664 bp, full length, rat chondroadherin cDNA was isolated from a rat chondrosarcoma library and sequenced. Northern blot analysis showed chondroadherin mRNA to be present in
Since 1968, Indonesia has been among the few developing countries able to sustain per capita income growth over 5%. However, poverty and surplus labor are still main features of the economy. We ask to what extent the dual nature of growth has stimulated structural change, or just rewarded a particular sector or region. We find that the emblematic State support to agriculture has not untapped the p

Syftet med studien är att undersöka den förbättrade upptagningen av det radioaktiva spåret Technetium-99m-DTPA (99mTc-DTPA) i råtta Muskelvävnad i Fischer 344 råttor efter applicerade elektriska pulser av olikafältstyrka och pulslängd,Metoder: 99mTc-DTPA (totalt 150 MBq) administrerades intramuskulärt (i.m.) vid axelnsom en bolus i flera fraktioner om 50 l var och en i intervaller på 1 minut.

With the increase in energy of the Large Hadron Collider to a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV for Run 2, events with dense environments, such as in the cores of high-energy jets, became a focus for new physics searches as well as measurements of the Standard Model. These environments are characterized by charged-particle separations of the order of the tracking detectors sensor granularity. Basic
Dijet events are studied in the proton-proton collision data set recorded at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015 and 2016, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 3.5 fb-1 and 33.5 fb-1 respectively. Invariant mass and angular distributions are compared to background predictions and no significant deviation is observed. For resonance searches, a new method for
