In order to investigate dendrimers of a different nature [230], Bradley described the synthesis and transfection efficiency of polyamidourea dendrimers synthesised from isocyanate-containing AB3 monomers [231-234]. The use of this kind of tris-branched building block was addressed to enhance dendrimer synthesis by replacement of the 1,4-addition step typical of PAMAM synthesis and to a rapid increase in terminal functionality. The dendritic structures were synthesised using a divergent, microwave-assisted, solid-phase approach with the dendrimers assembled on polystyrene resin via an acid labile linker (see Fig. 26). In particular, a G3.0 polyamidourea bis-dendron with the peripheral amino groups conjugated to L-lysine residues demonstrated remarkable transfection abilities [234],... 

The possible states in each compartment are n0i + n02 + 1. Therefore R is a 256-dimensional matrix. The initial condition for the master equation is Pio,5 (0) = 1. Figures 9.25 and 9.26 show the associated probabilities for each state as functions of time for the central and peripheral compartments, respectively. In these figures the disk area is proportional to the associated probability, the full markers are the expected values, and the solid lines the solution of the deterministic model. As already mentioned, we note that the expectation of the stochastic model follows the time profile of the deterministic system. 

FIGURE 2.5 Siimilation of plasma (solid line) and tissue (heavy dashed line) digoxin concentrations after intravenous administration of a 0.75-mg loading dose to a 70-kg patient with normal renal function. Cq is estimated by back extrapolation (dotted line) of elimination-phase plasma concentrations. is calculated by dividing the administered drug dose by this estimate of Cq, as shown. Tissue concentrations are referenced to the apparent distribution volume of a peripheral compartment that represents tissue distribution. (Reproduced with permission from Atkinson AJ Jr, Kushner W.

Suboptimal erythropoiesis can be classified by changes in the size of RBCs noted on examination of the peripheral blood. Because the excretory and endocrine functions of the kidney usually mirror each other, renal dysfunction can lead to anemia by reduction in EPO production, resulting in a normochromic, normocytic pattern. Other causes of insufficient erythropoiesis include replacement of bone marrow by fibrosis, solid tumors, or leukemia, as well as defects in erythroid maturation. Relative deficiencies in the cofactors required for heme-RBC synthesis such as iron, folate, and vitamin B may also be important contributors. Structurally, RBC macrocytosis denotes defects in the maturation of the nucleus, whereas microcytosis is indicative of cytoplasmic defects (reduced hemoglobin synthesis). (A detailed description regarding the pathogenesis and treatment of anemic disorders is found in Chap. 99.)... 

Fig. 6. (a) Interstitial pressure gradients in the mammary adenocarcinoma R3230AC as a function of radial position. The circles ( ) represent data points (Boucher et al., 1990), and the solid line represents the theoretical profile based on our previously developed mathematical model (Jain and Baxter, 1988 Baxter and Jain, 1989). Note that the pressure is nearly uniform in most of the tumor, but drops precipitously to normal tissue values in the periphery. Elevated pressure in the central region retards the extravasation of fluid and macromolecules. In addition, the pressure drop from the center to the periphery leads to an experimentally verifiable, radially outward fluid flow. (Reproduced from Boucher et al., 1990, with permission.) (b) Microvascular pressure (MVP) in the peripheral vessels of the mammary adenocarcinoma R3230AC is comparable to the central interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) (adapted from Boucher and Jain, 1992). These results suggest that osmotic pressure difference across vessel walls is small in this tumor. 

Data processing. The microprocessor functions according to the program stored in the programmable read-only memory (PROM), a solid-state data-storage device whose contents is virtually indestructible. The main tasks of the 8-bit microprocessor are (a) control of the input multiplexer (b) start and control of the calibration cycle (c) correction of measured values according to the results of the calibration cycle (d) computation of periodic averages (e) calculation of output data (f) output of data and (g) control of peripherals. 

Fig. 11 Quantitative measures of lamin-chromatin separation distances in Drosophila early embryo nuclei, (a) Probability of lamin-chromatin separation distance as a function of difference in circumferential solid angle along the nuclear periphery (AS) and difference in radial position (Ar) (see Paddy et al., 1990, for more details). (A0, Ar) = (0, 0) represents the center of the nearest local maximum in the lamin staining pattern. The distance above the A0, Ar plane is proportional to the probability that one of the 93 peripheral chromatin loci is located A0, Ar from the nearest local maximum in the antilamin staining pattern. The maximum value in the plot represents a probability of 4%. (b) Probability of lamin-chromatin separation distance as a function of difference in circumferential solid angle (A0). This plot results from integrating the data in panel a along the radial (Ar) axis, (c) probability of lamin-chromatin separation distance as a function of total separation distance. This plot results from using the Ad, Ar) coordinates of each point in panel a to calculate the separation distance at which the observed probabilities occur.
