Abstract:
... Twelve horses and 3 mules with grade II or louder prolonged diastolic murmurs were selected for functional and histopathologic study. Aortic insufficiency was demonstrated in all mules and in all except two horses on the basis of murmurs, jet lesions and/or pathologic and incompetent valve cusps. In 15 control animals lesions resulting in aortic insufficiency were not found. A thick fibrous band w ...

Abstract:
... A malformation of the heart and great vessels, in which the aorta and the pulmonary trunk originated from the right ventricle, has been reported in a 1 1/2 year-old horse. It is suggested that the oxygenated blood from the left ventricle was ejected through a large septal defect into the right ventricle where partial mixture of the blood took place. The function of the right ventricle was to pump ...

... The aortic wall structure of genetically determined hypercholesterolaemic (Yoshida) and control (Brown-Norway) rats was investigated by transmission and scanning electron and light microscopy. Leucocyte adherence mostly at branch sites and irregular protrusive structures were observed on the endothelial surface of the thoracic aorta of Yoshida, but not of Brown-Norway rats. The subendothelial spac ...

Abstract:
... Turkey poults were inoculated at hatch with the "W" isolate of Bordetella avium. At 17 d of age, serum copper levels and ceruloplasmin activities were determined. The trachea and aorta were analyzed for collagen and elastin content in an attempt to relate these structural proteins to the clinical observations of tracheal ring distortion and cardiac dysfunction associated with bordetellosis. Serum ...

While the specific heparan sulfate domain binding to FGF-2 has been elucidated in some detail, limited information has been available concerning heparan sulfate structures involved in the recognition of FGF-1. In the current study we present evidenc ...
