چکیده

This collection of writings reflects the author's unique capacity to choose a topic, to mull over it gracefully, and to evoke the perplexing nature of a number of fundamental notions (and the sentiments which these themes engender) regarding the human experience, i.e., life and death. While the writing style and diction are often in and of themselves as complex and intricate as any textbook description of a pathologic process, the expansive spectrum of queries and conclusions which Gonzalez-Crussi presents are gossamer-like and continually uplift the reader and nourish the spirit.

Measurement of mRNA levels in tumor xenografts with quantitative autoradiography and in situ hybridization.

In situ methodologies allow qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of spatial gene expression in whole organisms or tissues. We have applied quantitative autoradiography to in situ hybridizations of sections from human breast tumor xenografts to measure mRNA levels for ornithine decarboxylase, estrogen receptor, transforming growth factor alpha, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase....

Can ovariectomy and learning affect prefrontal cortex GABAAα1 receptor distribution in passive avoidance model in rats?

Introduction: The interaction between steroid hormones and neurotransmitters such as GABA has been proved. The regulation of muscimol binding to high-affinity GABAA receptors by estradiol and progesterone has been studied within distinct brain regions using in vitro quantitative autoradiography. There are few studies about the mechanism of the effect of steroid hormones on behaviors such as ...

Properties of D2 dopamine receptor autoradiography: high percentage of high-affinity agonist sites and increased nucleotide sensitivity in tissue sections.

[3H]Spiroperidol (spiperone) binding in the presence of mianserin, a serotonin (5-HT2) receptor antagonist, was characterized in rat brain using quantitative autoradiography. All binding parameters were directly determined from film densities. Competition and kinetic studies revealed that [3H]spiroperidol binds to a site having characteristics of the dopamine, D2, receptor in striatum. The gene...

Acute reductions in GABAA receptor binding in layer IV of adult primate somatosensory cortex after peripheral nerve injury.

Following peripheral nerve transection, reorganizational plasticity has been reported to occur in two phases, one immediate and one more protracted. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) has been implicated in the immediate "unmasking" phase of reorganization. We have used quantitative autoradiography to assess potential changes in GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptor binding in primate somatosensory cortex f...

A densitometer for quantitative autoradiography.

A low cost spot densitometer system is described. This system is useful for quantitative autoradiography of local cerebral glucose utilization, blood flow, receptor binding and other applications requiring densitometry on films. The densitometer can be used alone or interfaced to a microcomputer. The densitometer consists of a photographic enlarger, a digital multimeter, and the densitometer el...

Human urokinase receptor concentration in malignant and benign breast tumors by in vitro quantitative autoradiography: comparison with urokinase levels.

We measured the tissue concentration of human urokinase receptor (uPAR) in 22 breast carcinomas and 9 benign breast lesions using in vitro quantitative autoradiography. Tissue sections were incubated with increasing concentrations of 125I-pro-urokinase in the presence or absence of unlabeled competitor. Breast carcinomas were found to contain 5 times more uPAR than benign breast lesions with re...
