These image stacks can be used to build three-dimensional digital models of duct structure [ 7, 10], using readily available software [ 12].
This paper presents a novel fan-independent air balancing method based on computational model of air duct system.
A reproducible large animal model of bile duct dilation for the preclinical testing of new biliary devices and for training endoscopic biliary intervention is required.
To obtain an optimum design and to compare the noise damping performances of these different configurations of the resonator necks, comparison study is conducted via developing a 2D linearized Navier Stokes model of a duct in the presence of a grazing flow.
When making an acoustic finite element model of a duct system, the resulting matrices can be very large due to the length of ductwork, the complex changes in geometry and the numerous junctions, and a full model may require several thousand nodes.
We also describe another mouse model of bile duct paucity resulting from liver-specific deletion of the Notch2 gene.
Here we characterize embryonic biliary tract formation in our previously described Jag1/Notch2 double heterozygous Alagille syndrome model, and describe another mouse model of bile duct paucity resulting from liver-specific deletion of the Notch2 gene.
Therefore, we used the model of bile duct ligation (BDL) to induct liver fibrosis in C57/BL6 mice.
We hypothesized that UDCA modulates ADAM17 activity, resulting in amelioration of cholestasis in a murine model of bile duct ligation (BDL).
Exogenous administration of IFNα before or at the time of RRV challenge was previously reported to significantly alleviate the progression of jaundice and cholestasis in this mouse model of bile duct obstruction [ 21].
