Reação histopatológica da parede da aorta abdominal ao stent não recoberto Histopathological reaction of the abdominal aorta wall to non-covered stents by Rubio Bombonato, José Honório Palma, José Augusto Marcondes, Aury Nunes de Moraes, João Luiz da Rocha, Márcio Rodrigo Martins, Rodrigo Mezzalira Tchaick, Júlio Domingos, Enio Buffolo

“…Microscopic analyses near the stents revealed thickening of vessel wall, secondary to the intima fibrosis, and media layer affected by interstitial fibrosis. Micrometric measurements of aorta wall with the stent, compared to the aortic portion without it, presented a 75.90% increasein the total thickness of the wall by thickening of the intima layer secondary to fibroblast proliferation, collagen deposits with lymphocitary inflammatory infiltrate and foreign body-type granulomas. …”

Evidence for heavy fuel oil combustion aerosols from chemical analyses at the island of Lampedusa: a possible large role of ships emissions in the Mediterranean by S. Becagli, D. M. Sferlazzo, G. Pace, A. di Sarra, C. Bommarito, G. Calzolai, C. Ghedini, F. Lucarelli, D. Meloni, F. Monteleone, M. Severi, R. Traversi, R. Udisti

“…These data show that elements arising from heavy oil combustion (V, Ni, Al, Fe) are distributed in the sub-micrometric fraction of the aerosol, and the metals are present as free metals, carbonates, oxides hydrates or labile complex with organic ligands, so that they are dissolved in mild condition (HNO<sub>3</sub>, pH1.5). …”

Effects of buffer and Megasphaera elsdenii as pH regulators, on histomorphometry and histopathology of small and large intestine of Arabian fattening lambs fed with high concentrat... by O Khorasani , M Chaji and F Baghban

“…For the histological trial of the intestines, fragments were separated from the middle part of the three regions of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, and the middle part of the large intestine and each part were emptied with formalin rinsing, Then the two ends of each piece were closed and neutral formalin 10 % was injected into them, and separately in containers with lid containing formalin 10 % were placed. Micrometric studies of different parts of the small intestine: Villus height, crypt depth, villus width, and thickness of tunica muscularis were examined histomorphometrically. …”
