...Wei-Feng Hu; Cui-Ling Li; Hui-Ping Zhang; Ting-Ting Li; Xiao-Yong Zeng Objective: To establish an experimental rabbit model of urethral stricture using holmium laser under direct urethroscopic visualization. Methods: Sixteen adult male New Zealand rabbits were divided into equally-sized control...

... after implantation of VX-2 cells into the bladder of the rabbits, microwave coagulation therapy was performed. The antitumor effect, i.e. the survival rate, the histological study and the immunological response of the microwave therapy was examined in comparison with the control group (no treatment...

...Poul-Erik Lundbech; Hans Jørgen Kirkeby; Jens Christian Djurhuus The intracavernosal pressure changes induced by 3 vasodilating drugs, diazoxide, glyceryltrinitrate and verapamil were investigated during autologous extracorporeal penile blood perfusion in an experimental rabbit model. In order...

...J. Reimnitz; C. Shugart-Reimnitz; H. Tung; C.E. Constantinou The gradient of cellular [Na + ] on [K + ] ion within the renal pelvis of the rabbit was correlated with the autorhythmicity of the proximal, middle, distal and ureteropelvic regions of this structure. The results show that the maximum...

...D. Skoluda; I.-E. Richter; K. Busse Using scanning-beam electron microscopy, rabbit’s bladder shows a folding of the mucous membrane and a regular arrangement of the cover cells being connected by intercellular junctions. The possible functions of intercellular junctions and intercellular spaces...

... a sustained contraction occasionally accompanied by a transient relaxation (in 30% of rabbit cavernosal tissues) that preceded the contraction. Ondansetron and Y-25130 (both 5-HT 3 receptor antagonists) but not SB-269970 (a 5-HT 7 receptor antagonist) significantly inhibited or abolished this transient...

... of the urinary tract is uncommon accounting for only 2% of all such cases. Testes are extremely rare sites for echinococcosis. To our knowledge there are only 3 cases of testicular hydatid cyst described. In this animal model, we studied echinococcosis in rabbit testis. Methods: We directly infected...

... rabbits underwent urethroplasty after creation of a ventral urethral defect. The defect was repaired using a graft harvested from the fascia lata. The animals were divided into three groups and sacrificed at 2, 4 and 12 weeks postoperatively. Radiologic control was performed after 10–12 days and before...
