(a.) Of, pertaining to, or resembling, alveoli or little cells, sacs, or sockets.
Example Sentences:
(1) According to the finite element analysis, the design bases of fixed restorations applied in the teeth accompanied with the absorption of the alveolar bone were preferred.
(2) Periodontal disease activity is defined clinically by progressive loss of probing attachment and radiographically by progressive loss of alveolar bone.
(3) Studies on alveolar macrophages have usually been performed on a single cell suspension obtained by lung lavage.
(4) Following BHT administration, the alveolar stem cells (type II pneumocytes) proliferate and differentiate according to a biphasic pattern, with proliferative peaks at d 3 and 7.
(5) On the tangential views the inclinations of the future implants were estimated and the part of the alveolar ridge having a width less than 5 mm, which is the minimum width for housing an implant, was compiled.
(6) Histochemical and immunocytochemical staining of the outgrowths with reagents that depict epithelial, myoepithelial, and lactating alveolar cells (peanut lectin alone, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to rat caseins) indicate similar cell compositions and arrangements for all outgrowths irrespective of their source; these are also similar to the mammary glands of the perphenazine-stimulated or lactating hosts.
(7) Alveolar macrophages (greater than 97% esterase positive) were isolated form bronchoalveolar lavage fluids by adherence onto plastic.
(8) The alveolar-arterial oxygen difference was greater than 150 mmHg (20 kPa) in nine subjects on admission.
(9) Alveolar deposition, however, assessed in terms of particle retention at 24 hours, was significantly (p less than 0.01) less in the smokers.
(10) The repaired alveolar processes were similar in bulk and contour in sites grafted with NPHA and with bone.
(11) There is considerable evidence to suggest that intra-alveolar plasminogen activation is instrumental in many aspects of inflammatory lung injury and subsequent tissue repair.
(12) Marked type-II alveolar cell proliferation, peribronchiolar smooth muscle proliferation, and alveolar microlithiasis were seen histologically.
(13) An autopsy on the next day revealed pure pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage without leukemic infiltration or inflammation.
(14) [14C]22:6 (docosahexaenoic acid) was rapidly incorporated into cellular lipids in rabbit alveolar macrophages.
(15) The alveolar stability requires particular properties of both the fibrous skeleton and the alveolar surfactant film.
(16) Replacement of bath Na+ by choline decreased the PD of tracheas by 85% but did not change alveolar PD in the presence or absence of bumetanide.
(17) Bronchoscopic alveolar lavage confirmed the diagnosis most often, but 13% of lavages were negative and required biopsy for the diagnosis.
(18) Twenty-two patients with radiologically localised pulmonary tuberculosis underwent one or more broncho-alveolar lavages: 10 patients had a single lavage in the disease area, 11 had two lavages (1 in a healthy zone and 1 in the affected zone) and 1 patient had a triple lavage.
(19) Four hours after infusion, the animals displayed a clinical and pathological pattern which closely resembled post-traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome, including hypoxia, hypocarbia, thrombocytopenia, increased pulmonary capillary permeability to albumin, interstitial edema, hypertrophy of alveolar lining cells, and intra-alveolar hemorrhage.
(20) The method was tested by using monolayers of alveolar macrophages from rabbits exposed to manganese dioxide particles.
Gomphosis
Definition:
(n.) A form of union or immovable articulation where a hard part is received into the cavity of a bone, as the teeth into the jaws.
Example Sentences:
(1) The theory--presented in part I--shall be examined by the synarthrosis (Gomphosis; Articulatio dentoalaveolaris) "Periodontium" and not by the intervertebral disk because the required experimental equipment can probably also be used in vivo.
