cleavage lines of the oral mucosa in japanese cadavers.	cleavage lines were experimentally reproduced in the oral mucosa of japanese cadavers. they were investigated macroscopically and histologically. the reproduced cleavage lines showed little directional variation by sex or age. from the histological findings, the mucosal cleavage lines were interpreted to represent cleavage split along the direction of connective tissue fibres in the lamina propria.	2011	3165386

[technic for digitalized angiography of the legs by unilateral femoral artery puncture and programmed displacement of the examination table. apropos of 56 cases].	the authors describe a technique for digital subtraction angiography of vessels of the legs, performed in 56 patients for suspicion or control of peripheral vascular disease. owing to an unilateral femoral arterial puncture and a programmed moving of the table top, a subtraction arterial mapping of the two legs is obtained with only two injections of contrast medium. on the side of the puncture the arterial opacification is always very satisfactory. on the other side opacified by reflux the popl ...	2012	3517309
vanadate-activated calcium influx in a431 cells is dependent on the plasma membrane potential.	vanadate can activate the uptake of ca in a431 epidermal carcinoma cells by two- to fivefold with no detectable lag period. preincubation with epidermal growth factor (egf) to down-regulate the egf receptor prevents subsequent stimulation by egf but not that by vanadate. ca uptake is sodium-independent and is not activated by depolarization in high kcl. on the contrary, vanadate-stimulated uptake is completely inhibited by decreasing the plasma membrane potential from about -65 to -30 mv. these ...	2012	3496344
