Angiotensin tachyphylaxis is rapidly induced in the mesenteric vascular circuit of the rat perfused with a saline solution. There is crossed tachyphylaxis among angiotensins (AI, AH, and AIII). The angiotensin antagonist Sar 1-Ileu 8-AII is ineffective when the vascular preparation is previously rendered tachyphylactic to All, showing that the AH receptors are not available during tachyphylaxis...

OBJECTIVE To determine not only the vertical but also horizontal localization of the adductor hiatus (AH) and classify its shape and structure macroscopically. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty lower extremities were dissected to expose the AH. Its shape and structure were macroscopically noted, and the AH was classified into four types. For determining the localization, measurements were made with ...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a complex, chronic disease that usually arises from the converging action of several pathogenic processes, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and the accumulation of oxidized LDL. Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is a LDL- and HDL-bound enzyme that hydrolyzes and inactivates PAF and prevents LDL-cholesterol oxidation, thus delaying ...

Infertility patients are known to be at increased risk of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and atypical hyperplasia (AH). However, the incidence and clinical features of EC and AH in these patients remain to be clarified. In this study, we examined the rate at which a routine infertility workup revealed EC/AH and investigated the clinicopathological features of EC/AH detected in this way. Among patie...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to ascertain optimal assisted hatching (AH) method in frozen embryo transfer. We compared the effect of depending on whether mechanical or laser-AH was performed before or after the vitrification of embryo development rate and blastocyst cell numbers. METHODS In order to induce superovulation, pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin followed by human chorionic ...

Mean dimension for AH-algebras with diagonal maps is introduced. It is shown that if a simple unital AH-algebra with diagonal maps has mean dimension zero, then it has strict comparison on positive elements. In particular, the strict order on projections is determined by traces. Moreover, a lower bound of the mean dimension is given in term of Toms’ comparison radius. Using classification resul...

The effect of intravenous and intracameral ouabain on aqueous humor (AH) formation rates was measured in cats. AH formation rate was determined with continuous, posteroanterior chamber perfusion with an AH-like buffer containing trace quantities of inulin-C. After intravenous injection of 67 fig of ouabain per kilogram, there was a 40 per cent reduction in AH formation rate, while 34 fig per ki...

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a progressive disorder characterized by corneal endothelial decompensation leading to corneal edema, clouding, and vision impairment. Despite improved understanding over the last century since its first description, the exact mechanism(s) behind the pathogenesis of FECD remain unknown, and surgical correction is the only effective treatment availabl...

The optimal roughage concentration required in feedlot diets changes continuously for many reasons such as source, availability, price, and interaction with other ingredients in the diet. Wet distillers grains and solubles (WDGS) are common in finishing diets and they contain relatively high amounts of fiber compared with other grains they replace. Therefore, concentration of roughage could be ...
