The portal circulation and the liver are mutually interdependent, with the liver depending on the portal vein for its supply of nutrients and the portal flow depending on the patency of the hepatic sinusoids. The portal flow is unusual because blood from the gastrosplenic area and the lower part...
Halsted introduced radical axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer to control cancer spread as he believed that axillary metastasis served as a route of systemic disease [1]. His observation implied that cancer could be “cured” by radical resection of the primary cancer and regional lymph...
Ischemia is simulated by a two-step procedure of oxidative stress: oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) followed by reoxygenation (ReOx, abrupt supply of oxygen causing oxidative stress). The oxidative damage to the BBB model is confirmed by changes in the levels of (a) Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS...
During the process, a syringe pump controls the circulation of the polymer solution through a conductive needle, and a high-voltage power supply induces an electric field in between the needle and a collector. This will induce charges on the solution and formation of the Taylor cone, which ...
Pigs were euthanized using a 390 mg/mL sodium pentobarbital solution (Patterson Veterinary Supply, Columbus, OH, USA) at 1 mL/5 kg body weight by intracardiac injection. Blood was collected from the jugular vein immediately after euthanasia on PND 32 and 61, and collected into evacuated serum ...
