(a.) Of, pertaining to, or resembling, a papilla or papillae; bearing, or covered with, papillae; papillose.
Example Sentences:
(1) Patients with papillary carcinoma with a good cell-mediated immune response occurred with much lower infiltration of the tumor boundary with lymphocyte whereas the follicular carcinoma less cell-mediated immunity was associated with dense lymphocytic infiltration, suggesting the biological relevance of lymphocytic infiltration may be different for the two histologic variants.
(2) Further, the maximal increase in force of contraction was measured using papillary muscle strips from some of these patients.
(3) Arginine vasopressin further reduced papillary flow in kidneys perfused with high viscosity artificial plasma.
(4) By means of rapid planar Hill type antimony-bismuth thermophiles the initial heat liberated by papillary muscles was measured synchronously with developed tension for control (C), pressure-overload (GOP), and hypothyrotic (PTU) rat myocardium (chronic experiments) and after application of 10(-6) M isoproterenol or 200 10(-6) M UDCG-115.
(5) This study demonstrated that significant global and regional ventricular dysfunction develops immediately after removal of the papillary muscles, whereas myocardial contractility is preserved in patients undergoing mitral valve repair.
(6) Follow-up studies using radiological methods show worse results (recurrent stones in II: 21.2%, in I: 5.8%, stenosis of EST in II: 6.1%, in I: 3.1%): Late results of EST because of papillary stenosis are still worse compared to those of choledocholithiasis.
(7) The three main ultrastructural features of nuclei observed in papillary carcinoma of thyroid were also demonstrated in follicular carcinoma.
(8) The effects of angiotensin II (ANG II) or angiotensin III (ANG III) on renal cortical blood flow (CBF) or papillary blood flow (PBF) were investigated in Inactin-anesthetized young rats with the use of laser-Doppler flowmetry.
(9) Arising from a poorly differentiated thyroid papillary carcinoma we have established a cell line synthesizing the thyroglobulin and human chorionic gonadotropin (alpha and beta subunits) (HCG) hormones.
(10) Recent reports have indicated the usefulness of nuclear grooves (clefts or notches) as an additional criterion for the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma in fine needle aspirates; most of these studies were carried out on alcohol-fixed material stained with the Papanicolaou stain or with hematoxylin and eosin, which yield good nuclear details.
(11) However, great inter-tumorous differences in proliferation behaviour existed particularly in papillary G2 and G3 urothelium carcinomas.
(12) Twenty-one of the 22 patients showed systolic anterior movement of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve on a cineangiogram and the papillary muscles and left ventricular wall were moderately to severely hypertrophied in 18 patients.
(13) To further characterize these rare tumors, we identified during a 32-year period 22 patients with oxyphilic papillary cancer and compared them with 1,084 patients with typical papillary cancers and 57 patients with oxyphilic follicular cancers treated by the Mayo surgical group during the same time period.
(14) The electrophysiological effects of amoxapine were examined in guinea-pig isolated papillary muscles and rabbit sinoatrial nodes using a conventional microelectrode technique.
(15) Papillary and medullary tissue solute concentrations were progressively reduced at the higher rates of infusion.
(16) Microscopic examination showed that the tumor was an invasive papillary growth with numerous signet-ring cells and mucous production.
(17) Unconjugated bilirubin visibly accumulated in the interstitium of the renal papillary tip.
(18) The necrotic, acellular papillary tip eventually separates.
(19) Four of these areas were associated with central papillary atrophy; the remaining five were covered by non-atrophic mucosa with filiform and fungiform papillae.
(20) On the basis of these findings, we conclude that 1) BAC can be classified within the same spectrum as well differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma, and 2) selective lung metastasis occurs in well differentiated adenocarcinomas showing mild NDC abnormalities and having a thin fibrovascular stroma without apparent destruction of the alveolar wall.
