OBJECTIVE
To establish the differences, if any, between the biochemical composition of idiopathic hydrocele fluid and the fluid normally present in the tunica vaginalis.
METHODS
Aspiration and sclerotherapy of 37 idiopathic hydroceles from patients who presented to this urology clinic were
Histological examination of numerous biopsies from mature testes, repeatedly showed irregularities of the elastin staining in the tunica propria of the seminiferous tubules. Even when abundant elastic fibers were visible by light microscopy, no elastic fibers were demonstrable in the electron
1. Relaxation responses were produced by vagal and field stimulation, respectively, of the whole oesophagus preparation from the rat and of the isolated tunica muscularis mucosae (t.m.m.) preparation from the rat. These relaxation responses persisted in the presence of antagonists of histamine,
1. In the rat oesophageal tunica muscularis mucosae (TMM) the potassium channel openers, BRL 34915 and pinacidil, raised the threshold for concentration-dependent K+ contractions, suppressed contractions evoked by field stimulation of the TMM in the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX) and
In specimens from the superficial temporal artery (STA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA), obtained during STA-MCA anastomosis, green fluorescent varicose fibers of sympathetic nerves were clearly visible with both formaldehyde-glutaraldehyde and sucrose-potassium phosphate-glyoxylic acid
A new method is developed for revealing the latent surfaces in the structure of organs by scanning electronic microscopy. The method is based on the treatment of specimens with potassium ethoxide until cells start to appear in the dissociating solution. Using this method, thoracic aorta of nine
The tunica vaginalis (TV), being part of the peritoneum, can be used for dialysis. The present study explores the possibility of using the TV sac as a dialyser in 21 male adult New Zealand rabbits which had been rendered uremic by ligation of both ureters. 4 animals acted as controls and another 4
