Purpose: To evaluate in vitro the functional efficacy of a new variable-sized, temporary venous filter, the Spring filter (SF). Methods: The SF was tested in a flow phantom, using flexible, thin-walled polyethylene tubes 12, 14, and 16 mm in diameter to simulate veins. Clots of three sizes were used

Leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) has been demonstrated to be a simple, rapid, and reliable technique in the diagnosis of various malignancies including hepatocellular carcinoma. The LA1 test was carried out employing modified tube LA1 technique in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (

## Background: Gene therapy strategies for the treatment of vascular disease such as the prevention of post-angioplasty restenosis require efficient, non-toxic transfection of vascular cells. in vitro studies in these cells contribute to vector development for in vivo use and for the evaluation of
## Abstract The antigenβinduced leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) test is an assay of cellular immune reactivity which was expected to offer a promising adjunct to currently available diagnostic and monitoring procedures in cancer patients. We have applied this assay to (1) 83 inpatients clinica
