Macroscopic description of the diffusion of interstitial impurity atoms considering the influence of elastic stress on the drift of interstitial species Abstract The diffusion equation for nonequilibrium interstitial impurity atoms taking into account their charge states and drift of all mobile interstitial species in the built-in electric field and in the field of elastic stress was obtained. ...

In this review, we describe the current knowledge on calcium signaling pathways in interstitial cells with a special focus on interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLCs), and telocytes. In detail, we present the generation of Ca2+ oscillations, the inositol triphosphate (IP₃)/Ca2+ signaling pathway and modulation exerted by cytokines and vasoactive agents on calciu...

The decline in renal function seen in a variety of pathological states is associated with an increase in the number and changes in the protein synthetic activity of tubular interstitial cells. However, the relationship between expansion of the interstitial compartment (interstitial fibrosis) and loss of renal epithelial tubules and capillaries remains unclear. Interstitial pathologies accompany...

The transport of fluid and solute molecules in the interstitium is governed by the biological and physicochemical properties of the inter stitial compartment as well as the physicochemical properties of the test molecule. The composition of the interstitial compartment of neoplastic tissues is significantly different from that of most normal tissues. In general the tumor interstitial compartmen...

BACKGROUND Progression of renal diseases is related to the abnormal regulation of cellular and extracellular matrix turnover. Other factors in addition to schistosomal antigens may be relevant to the progression of schistosomal nephropathy (SN). The validity of markers of fibroblastic differentiation, alpha smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA), and vimentin, as well as the regenerative activity (PCNA...

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical features and patterns of interstitial lung disease. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised record of patients diagnosed with interstitial lung disease from January 2005 to December 2015. All patients aged 16 years and above diagnosed with interstitial lung disease on the basis of clinical f...

heat transfer phenomena in batch fluidized bed dryer have been studied and analyzed using three phase model including solid phase, interstitial gas phase and bubble phase based on rizzi model. new correlations of heat transfer coefficient to surrounding and convection heat transfer coefficient between solid and interstitial gas are being proposed. in addition, some modifications have been done ...

Introduction: Interstitial pregnancies are rare. There have been sporadic reports of postoperative uterine scar rupture; precise frequency is unknown. Herein, we report a case where rupture was observed during cesarean section after surgery for interstitial ectopic pregnancy.
