: A 62-year-old man was referred to our center with a sarcoma of his left chest wall ingrowth into the pericardium and transdiaphragmatically abdomen. The diagnostic delay for patient extensive, at approximately 3.5 years. Judging by tumor size local ingrowth, on first examination, we considered this be borderline resectable. treated induction radiotherapy, resulting in relief pain but no radio...

Revascularisation of syngeneic and allogeneic intramuscular bone grafts have been studied using radioactive microspheres to measure the ingrowth of blood vessels. New bone formation and resorption were measured by 85strontium uptake and by graft weight reduction. Revascularisation, and mineralisation rate were significantly higher in syngeneic grafts than in allogeneic grafts at two, three and ...

In the epiphysis of long bones, different patterns of development of ossification processes have been described in different species. The development of the vascularisation of the femoral head has not yet been fully clarified, although its role in the ossification process is obvious. Our aim was to investigate ossification and vascular proliferation and their relationship, in growing rat femora...

PURPOSE The Slit-Robo signal has an important role in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Our study examined the expression of Slit2 and its receptor, Robo1, in a rat model of streptozotocin-induced diabetes and in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS Diabetes was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats via a single, intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The rats were sac...
