(11) The experimental approach was based on the ability of electrophysiological (single-channel) experiments to resolve the number of hybrid channel types that could form between gramicidin A or C and O-pyromellityl-gramicidin A or C (in which a pyromellitic acid residue has been esterified to the ethanolamine-OH group [Apell, H.-J., E. Bamberg, H. Alpes, and P. Läuger.

(12) Nevertheless, because of the need for a scrotal flap of fat to prevent fistula formation and to ensure vascularization of the graft, and because of the availability of a vascularized flap from the foreskin in most cases, the free graft patch procedure is best reserved for cases in which the foreskin is either absent or deficient.
