The impact of La2Zr2O7 !LZO" on interfacial resistance !Rp" at the La0.78Sr0.20MnO3−!/yttria-stabilized zirconia interface was studied upon isothermal sintering at 1200°C for 2–25 h. Quantification of triple phase boundary length was performed by applying focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy !FIB/SEM" serial-sectioning techniques and classical stereology. Electrochemical impedance spec...

We have lost one of the greatest founders modern stereology: Hans Jørgen Gottlieb Gundersen.

The low incidence of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, in premenopausal women has led to the conclusion that ovarian hormones may have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. We evaluated the effects of ovariectomy and/or estradiol on sympathovagal balance and heart rate variability (HRV) in female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with tachycardia and compared them...

In 2 studies, a method of linear morphometry was applied to regulatory developmental neurotoxicity studies in the rat. The first study involved the development of the brain during postnatal days (PNDs) 7-63, and the second involved the effects of 8 mg/kg i.p. trimethyltin chloride (TMT) to rats at PND 8, with morphometry performed at PNDs 12 and 24. The results of the TMT linear morphometry wer...

Acute lung injury induced by reactive oxygen gases such as ozone (O(3)) is focal and site-selective. To define patterns of acute epithelial injury along intrapulmonary airways, we developed a new analytic approach incorporating labeling of permeable cells, airway microdissection, and laser scanning confocal microscopy, and applied it to isolated perfused rat lungs where ventilation and breathin...

In postmenopausal women, reduced bone mineral density at the hip and spine is associated with an increased risk of tooth loss, possibly due to a loss of alveolar bone. In turn, having fewer natural teeth may lead to compromised food choices resulting in a poor diet that can contribute to chronic disease risk. The tight link between alveolar bone preservation, tooth retention, better nutritional...
