In vitro labeling of solid tissues with tritiated thymidine for autoradiographic detection of S-phase nuclei.
Abstract: In vitro measurement of the thymidine labeling index (TLI) of solid tissues requires hyperbaric oxygenation and is potentiated by blockade of thymidylate synthetase by 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FUdR) to favor uptake of tritiated thymidine...
Oxygen and wound healing.
Abstract: Ninikoski, , , , , , , , (1977). Oxygen and wound healing. Clinics in plastic surgery, 1977 Jul;4(3):361-74. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/328212
Dyspnea in divers at 49.5 ATA: mechanical, not chemical in origin.
Abstract: Pulmonary function was studied in six divers living in a hyperbaric chamber at a pressure nearly fifty times normal (49.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA), equivalent to 488 m or 1600 ft seawater (fsw)). As expected, ventilatory function was...
Measurement of tritiated thymidine labeling index by incubation in vitro of surgically removed cervical cancer.
Abstract: Autoradiographic study was made on 24 cases of uterine cervical tumor, including 22 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, using a technique of in vitro labeling of surgical specimens with tritiated thymidine (3H-TdR) under hyperbaric oxygen....
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on second-degree burn wound healing.
Abstract: We present a controlled study that indicates faster epithelialization of blister-removed second-degree burn wounds in guinea pigs treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Assessment of vascularity by india ink perfusion indicated earlier...
Necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: The author's experience of fourteen patients with necrotizing fasciitis is reviewed. The pathognomonic feature of this condition is an extensive necrosis of subcutaneous tissue caused by a vicious cycle of infection, local ischaemia and...
[Experimental studies on the hematogenous metastasis of tumors in mice under hyperbaric oxygenation (author’s transl)].
Abstract: Umemura, , , , , , , , (1977). [Experimental studies on the hematogenous metastasis of tumors in mice under hyperbaric oxygenation (author's transl)]. Nihon geka hokan. Archiv fur japanische Chirurgie, 1977...
[Endoscopic and x-ray evaluation of the effectiveness of the gamma therapy of lung cancer under hyperbaric oxygenation].
Abstract: Maksimov, Lebedev, Zvekotkina, Pitskhelauri, Dar'ialov, , , , (1977). [Endoscopic and x-ray evaluation of the effectiveness of the gamma therapy of lung cancer under hyperbaric oxygenation]. Meditsinskaia radiologiia, 1977...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the circulatory function in rheumatic mitral valve disease].
Abstract: The effect of a hyperbaric oxygenation course (10-14 exposures, one exposure daily at 0.7-1.0 ATA) upon the circulation function was studied in 61 patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease combined with systemic circulation...
