question:
A fundamental prerequisite for using degradable synthetic biopolymers as composite skin substitutes is the ability to establish vascular tissue. PEGT/PBT block-copolymer matrices have previously been shown as a favorable dermal substitute. In this study, quantitative data on neovascularization of PEGT/PBT block-copolymer matrices are presented.', 'PEGT/PBT-block-copolymer discs of three different pore diameters (1: < 75 microm, 2: 75-212 microm, 3: 250-300 microm) were implanted into dorsal skinfold chambers of balb/c mice. Histological sections were evaluated 7, 14, and 21 days post implantation by light and scanning electron microscopy. Blood vessel analysis was performed by means of digital image analysis (n = 288) of hematoxylin/eosin stained sections within apical (AOF) and basal (BOF) observation fields of the matrices.', 'Twenty-one days after implantation the density of blood vessels within the BOF of the scaffolds with a pore size of 75-212 and 250-300 microm were 4.6 +/- 0.45 and 5.8 +/- 0.62 (mean +/- S.E.M.; blood vessel profiles (BVF)), respectively. In <75 microm scaffolds, smaller numbers of BVF were found (4.2 +/- 0.39). In contrast, the evaluation within the AOF revealed significantly higher numbers of BVF in 75-212 microm group (3.5 +/- 0.49) and 250-300 microm group (4.5 +/- 0.66) as compared to the < 75 microm group (2.3 +/- 0.48).
answer:
Does analysis of neovascularization of PEGT/PBT-copolymer dermis substitute in balb/c-mice?

question:
Obese persons have low circulating natriuretic peptide (NP) concentrations. It has been proposed that this 'natriuretic handicap' could play a role in obesity-related hypertension. The normal physiological response of the NP system to an increase in blood pressure (BP) is an increase in NP secretion with concomitant higher circulating NP concentrations. In this study, we investigated whether higher BP would also be related to higher circulating NP concentrations in obese men; furthermore, we verified that BP had affected the hearts of our study participants, by determining left ventricular mass (LVM).", 'We examined 103 obese healthy medication-free men. We measured 24-hour ambulatory BP (ABP). LVM was calculated using the Cornell voltage-duration product method. Fasting serum concentrations of midregional proatrial NP (MR-proANP), a surrogate for active ANP, were measured. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate age-adjusted standardised regression coefficients ().', 'LVM and BP increased across systolic ABP quartiles (mean LVMSD: 1599.1387.2mmms in first vs 2188.5551.3mmms in fourth quartile, p<0.001; mean systolic ABPSD: 114.54.2mmHg in first vs 149.07.7mmHg in fourth quartile, p<0.001). Systolic ABP was robustly associated with LVM (=0.48, p<0.001). Despite evidence of BP-related increases in LVM, serum MR-proANP was negatively associated with systolic ABP (=-0.32, p=0.004) and with diastolic ABP (=-0.45, p<0.001).
answer:
Does serum proatrial natriuretic peptide increase with higher systolic blood pressure in obese men?

question:
Physiological data suggest that autumn leaf colours of deciduous trees are adaptations to environmental stress. Recently, the evolution of autumn colouration has been linked to tree condition and defence. Most current hypotheses presume that autumn colours vary between tree individuals. This study was designed to test if within-tree variation should be taken into account in experimental and theoretical research on autumn colouration.', 'Distribution of red autumn leaf colours was compared between partially dead and vigorous specimens of Norway maple (Acer platanoides) in a 3-year study. In August, the amount of reddish foliage was estimated in pairs of partially dead and control trees. Within-tree variation in the distribution of reddish leaves was evaluated. Leaf nitrogen and carbon concentrations were analysed.', 'Reddish leaf colours were more frequent in partially dead trees than in control trees. Reddish leaves were evenly distributed in control trees, while patchiness of red leaf pigments was pronounced in partially dead trees. Large patches of red leaves were found beneath or next to dead tree parts. These patches reoccurred every year. Leaf nitrogen concentration was lower in reddish than in green leaves but the phenomenon seemed similar in both partially dead and control trees.
answer:
Does red reveal branch die-back in Norway maple Acer platanoides?
