Quantification of the passive and active biaxial mechanical behaviour and microstructural organization of rat thoracic ducts.
Mechanical loading conditions are likely to play a key role in passive and active (contractile) behaviour of lymphatic vessels. The development of a microstructurally motivated model of lymphatic tissue is necessary for quantification of mechanically mediated maladaptive remodelling in the lymphatic vasculature. Towards this end, we performed cylindrical biaxial testing of Sprague-Dawley rat th...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical localization of truncated midkine in developing human bile ducts.
Midkine (MK) is a heparin-binding growth factor whose gene has been identified in embryonal carcinoma cells in early stages of retinoic acid-induced differentiation. In the present study, we investigated the developmental localization of truncated MK protein in human bile ducts. Thirty specimens of the livers from 25 fetuses (from 9 to 40 gestational weeks) and from five neonates less than 4 we...
متن کاملDetection of natural peptide antibiotics in human nasolacrimal ducts.
PURPOSE To determine the expression and production of antimicrobial peptides by mucosal cells of the lacrimal passage in healthy and pathologic states. METHODS Detection of bactericidal-permeability-increasing protein (BPI), heparin-binding protein (CAP37), human cationic antimicrobial protein (LL-37), human alpha-defensin 5 (HD5), human alpha-defensin 6 (HD6), human beta-defensin 1 (HBD-1), ...
متن کاملTFF peptides in the human efferent tear ducts.
PURPOSE To determine whether the lining epithelium of the human lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct synthesizes TFF peptides (formerly P-domain peptides, trefoil factors), a family of mucin-associated secretory peptides. METHODS Expression of TFF peptides in human lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal ducts was monitored by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Ant...
متن کاملNoise reduction of spiral ducts.
The paper presents noise reduction (NR) of spiral ducts as a result of computational modeling of acoustic wave propagation. Three-dimensional models were created with the finite element method in COMSOL Multiphysics version 3.3. Nine models of spiral ducts with 1-9 spiral leads were considered. Time-harmonic analysis was used to predict NR, which was shown in spectral and interval frequency ban...
