BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently we published a novel method of thrombus preparation for use in a swine model for evaluation of thrombectomy designs. The clot (fibrin rich clot) is characterized by its similarity in histologic characteristics to the thromboemboli recovered from stroke patients. The purpose of this latest study was to evaluate if the performance of a mechanical thrombectomy devic...

The metabolism of apolipoproteins B-48 and B-100 (apo B-48 and B-100) in large triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (300 to 1500 A in diameter) has been compared in three normal subjects and two subjects with genetically determined deficiency of lipoprotein lipase. The triglyceride-rich lipoproteins were obtained from a lipoprotein lipase-deficient donor 4 hr after a fat-rich meal in order to obtain ...

The phase decomposition of hypothetic A–B–C alloys was analyzed using the phase-field method based on numerical solution Cahn–Hilliard equation. effect interaction parameters growth kinetics also studied. results indicated that driving force fastest if all three were equal, promoting quickest ternary alloy. occurred spinodally and caused formation phases, A-rich, B-rich, C-rich. In this case, s...

AIM T-cell÷histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma is a rare type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma reported as involving primarily the thymus only by one paper in the English literature. CASE PRESENTATION A four and a half years old boy was admitted, after a sudden onset in the middle of the night, with superior vena cava syndrome, resuscitated cardiac and respiratory arrest and severe coma with Glas...

The present work describes a procedure for determining apolipoproteins (apo) B-100 and B-48 in subfractions of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins by analytical sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with Coomassie staining. The chromogenicity of the two apoB species was found to be almost equal, and independent of lipoprotein particle size. Both proteins were sensitive...
