The response of blood vessels to laser irradiation in vivo was studied in the dorsal skin flap glass window chamber model of hamsters. The vasodilatory response of venules was critically dependent on the wavelength of irradiating laser. Relaxation was not produced in arterioles, although it was trie

β¦ Synopsis
The use of lasers as surgical tools may open up new possibilities for the treatment of atherosclerotic occlusive vascular disease. However, basic information regarding the effect of laser radiation to the lumen of normal blood vessels is needed prior to clinical application.
This work investigates the nature of the COz laser-induced vascular wound and the time course of its healing in the rabbit aorta. The chief short-term problem with COz laser radiation of the luminal surface of blood vessels is thrombosis.

## Abstract MUC4 is a heterodimeric membrane mucin, composed of a mucin subunit ASGPβ1 (MUC4Ξ±) and a transmembrane subunit ASGPβ2 (MUC4Ξ²), which has been implicated in the protection of epithelial cell surfaces. Surprisingly, development and characterization of a new monoclonal antibody (mAb), call
Blood may limit laser ablation of arterial plaque by decreasing thermal energy transfer from metal-capped probes to arterial occlusions. Since a gas is a good insulator of heat, CO2 may be a better medium for laser recanalization. To study this possibility, a metal-capped fiber was positioned in a s
Twenty rabbit femurs were used to study the effect of CO, laser on cortical bone. Sixteen femurs were treated with 20 watts, 3 mm defocused beam, 2 KHZ spike pulse mode CO, laser for 10 seconds through a circular window in the metaphysis. In four control femurs, the inner cortex was exposed without
