Trypan blue injected intravenously is bound almost at once by the intercellular connective tissue elements all over the body,-by collagen, reticulin, and elastic fibers. This union of dye and tissue elements is the factor responsible for the early macroscopic blue color and is antecedent to cellular colloidopexic action. Different examples of connective tissue differ among themselves in their a...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects different body organs and causes extensive serious complications lead to damage the connective tissues, blood vessels, membranes.

The aim of this study was to determine the subcutaneous connective tissue reactions Medcem MTA and Pure Portland Cement. MTA, Cement ProRoot were placed in polyethylene tubes implanted into dorsal Sprague Dawley rats. presence inflammation, edema, necrosis, dystrophic calcification, thickness fibrous capsule formation recorded by histological examination 7, 30, 60 days after implantation proced...

Acupuncture needle manipulation gives rise to "needle grasp," a biomechanical phenomenon characterized by an increase in the force necessary to pull the needle out of the tissue (pullout force). This study investigates the hypothesis that winding of connective tissue, rather than muscle contraction, is the mechanism responsible for needle grasp. We performed 1) measurements of pullout force in ...

The abdominal subcutaneous interstitium is easily accessible for monitoring glucose for Diabetes Mellitus research and management. The available glucose sensing devices demand frequent blood sampling by finger pricking for calibration. Moreover, there is controversy about the exact relationship between the levels of glucose in the subcutis and blood. In the present study ultra-slow microdialysi...
