Objective Cells require energy to carry out their functions and they typically use oxidative
phosphorylation to generate the needed ATP. Thus, cells have a continuous need for …

The subject of phosphorescent metalloporphyrins is reviewed, focusing mainly on the
development and application of Pt-and Pd-porphyrins. A summary of their general chemical …

Background The resuscitation strategy for hemorrhagic shock remains controversial, with the
kidney being especially prone to hypoxia. Methods The authors used a three-phase …

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that balanced
crystalloid resuscitation would be better for the kidney than unbalanced crystalloid …

Oxygen plays an important role in wound healing, as it is essential to biological functions
such as cell proliferation, immune responses and collagen synthesis. Poor oxygenation is …

The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the methods available for imaging
tissue oxygenation. The following imaging methods are reviewed: phosphorescence, near …

The blood− brain barrier (BBB) represents a significant impediment to a large variety of
central nervous system-active agents. In the current study, we applied fluorescent …

In the present work, a novel method for detecting hypoxia in tumors, phosphorescence
quenching, was used to evaluate tissue and tumor oxygenation. This technique is based on …

A single bout of eccentric exercise results in muscle damage, but it is not known whether this
is correlated with microcirculatory dysfunction. We tested the following hypotheses in the …

Even though renal hypoxia is believed to play a pivotal role in the development of acute
kidney injury, no study has specifically addressed the alterations in renal oxygenation in the …
