✦ Synopsis

Abstract

To investigate the origin of echoes from “biliary sludge,” concentrated bile and bile from 5 patients with ultrasound findings of biliary sludge were examined in a tissue‐equivalent phantom before and after filtration through progressively smaller pore sizes. Filtration converted echogenic bile to echo‐free bile. Examination of the filtration residue by light microscopy established that the source of echoes in biliary sludge was particles, predominantly pigment granules, with lesser amounts of cholesterol crystals. Partial chemical characterization by determination of vulnerability to different solvents verified that the sludge was mainly calcium bilirubinate.

It has been shown by re-cloning of colonies formed in vitro from rat bone marrow cells, that normal granulocyte colonies can originate from single cells. No mixed macrophage (M) and granulocyte ( G ) colonies were obtained after re-cloning either M or G colonies. The results indicate, that clones of

Dipolar interactions in liquids have recently offered a new challenge to investigate porous media by exploiting intermolecular quantum coherences, which are obtained through a simple twopulse sequence (90 • -τ -120 • ). This sequence, in the presence of an external gradient (G), refocuses a train of
