Studies in the Pathology of Vascular Disease: The Response of the Rabbit's Carotid Artery to Injuries—Effect of Injection of Tubercle Bacilli and of Colloidal Cholesterol

چکیده
Experimental.-The suspension of tuberde bacilli used was prepared by grinding a loopful (about 3 mg.) of bovine tuberde bacilli with sterile mortar and pestle and suspending them in I cc. of sterile, normal saline. The final series of observations (after exdusion of cases complicated by thrombus formation or obvious errors in technic) comprises 15 animals, autopsied at intervals of 6, 12, 24, and 72 hours, at 4 and 6 days, and at 1, 2, 3, and 11 weeks after injection. At 6 hours the perivascular tissue* shows a diffuse polymorphonudear exudate, with margination of these cells in the small vessels. The elastic and muscle tissues of the media are well preserved and there are no leukocytes within the vessel wall. The endothelium is in places detached from the internal elastic lamella. At 12 hours (Fig. 15) there is also a marked exudate in the perivascular tissue and the outer half of the media is diffusely infiltrated with polymorphonudear leukocytes. The tissues of the media show evidence of slight edema. The endothelium is slightly separated from the wall. There is no exudate in the lumen. At 24 hours (Fig. 16) the entire vessel wall is diffusely infiltrated with polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which appear to be passing through the wall into the lumen, although the elastic tissue stain shows very few breaks in the internal elastic lamella and the vessel wall in general is well preserved. The endothelium is again largely detached and the individual cells appear swollen. In the lumen are a moderate number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and a few thin, spindle-shaped cells resembling detached endothelial cells. The 72-hour specimen shows a slightly more advanced picture. There are more polymorphonuclear cells in the lumen and the leukocytes scattered through the vessel wall show evidence of pyknosis and disintegration. The media still appears well preserved. In

متن کاملStudies in the Pathology of Vascular Disease: The Response of the Rabbit's Carotid Artery to Injuries—Effect of Double Ligation *
The following experiments were designed to create a dosed loop in the carotid artery of the rabbit for the purpose of studying its reaction to various injuries. This vessel is chosen because it lends itself readily to experimental approach and has few large branches. The technical procedure involved in creating a closed loop of artery is in itself sufficiently injurious to the vessel wall to ca...
متن کاملI-46: Obstetrical Doppler
Accurate assessment of gestational age, fetal growth, and the detection of fetal and placental abnormalities are major benefits of sonography. Color Doppler can be used to assist in the identification of vascular architecture, detection of vascular pathology and visualization of blood flow changes associated with physiologic processes and disease states. The clinical applications of obstetrical...

In this study we investigated the effects of endothelium removal and L-NAME on responses to α-adrenoceptor agonists. Male Wistar rats were killed by overdose with pentobarbitone sodium, after which the left and right common carotid arteries were removed. Rings of arteries 3-4 mm in length were cut from each vessel and then mounted in 10 mL isolated organ bath, bathed in Krebs maintained at ...
متن کاملAssessing the intima-media thickness and Young modulus changes of the common carotid artery in the neck region external radiotherapy based on the processing of ultrasonic images
Since it is too vital to the prevention of carotid disease in the vascular system, it seems necessary to the estimation of the elastic behavior of the carotid artery in head and neck external radiotherapy. In the present study, a total of 24 neck carcinoma patients treated with external radiotherapy had been studied. The carotid mean dose values were determined for each case by contouring the c...
