Perfusion of Isolated Dog Skin1

Isolated Dog Ophthalmic Arteries

Methods. Changes in isometric tension were recorded in helical strips of the arteries, and the presence of perivascular nerve containing NADPH diaphorase was histochemically demonstrated. Results. Nicotine (10~ M, EOA and IOA) and transmural electrical stimulation (5 Hz, EOA) produced a slight or no contraction followed by a moderate relaxation in the strips contracted with prostaglandin F2a. T...

Isolated lung perfusion.

Isolated lung perfusion (ILP) has been historically used as a method to study basic lung physiologic concepts using animal models. More recently, ILP has been applied in lung transplantation and thoracic oncology. In lung transplantation, ILP has been used to assess physiological integrity of donor lungs after the organ is removed from the donor. This procedure is called Ex vivo Lung Perfusion ...

Perfusion of isolated renal tubules.

The metlhodls usedl for perftusinig isolatedi renal tul)ules are generally clifferent from microptuncture, as are the prob)lems encounteredl. Altlhotuglh I will concentrate maiinly on the teclhnical aslpects of perfuision, it seems to me most important to evaluate to wlhat extent the restults are p)ertinent to the stt(ly of kidney function. Are the tubules still "alive?' Are they still fuinctio...

TNF-based isolated hepatic perfusion.

Unresectable primary and metastatic cancers confined to the liver often determine the prognosis for patients with primary hepatic cancers, colorectal cancer, ocular melanoma, and neuroendocrine tumors. Although many locoregional therapies have emerged as options for patients with unresectable liver malignancies, these treatments frequently have limited clinical benefit. Isolated hepatic perfusi...
