In this section, we display the numerical procedure we utilized and the computer simulations obtained from it.
In this procedure we utilized a MRI-visible mesh implant with good biomechanical characteristics.
To authenticate the procedure, we utilized the pioneering technology of tissue microarrays that allowed us the simultaneous analysis of up to 50 human tissue samples from patients suffering from three different forms of IIPs: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), cellular and fibrotic.
That is, the cross-validation procedure we utilize has to minimize expression (10) with a penalty term of the form presented in (11) and detailed in (8).
This last parameter is due both to the quality of the slides, the hybridization procedures that we utilized and the quality of the products printed.
Because primary culture of intestinal epithelial cells is technically difficult due to detachment-induced apoptosis (anoikis) during the isolation procedure [21], we utilized intestinal epithelial cell lines, keratinocytes and dermis fibroblasts as model systems.
As network data are not independent and do not meet the assumptions of classical statistical techniques, we utilized procedures developed for network data available in the UCINET software package [ 38, 39].
Given that the transplantation procedure involved γ-IR, we utilized a parabiosis approach to introduce traceable bone marrow without γ-IR.
Using SPM spatial normalization procedures previously described [ 32], we utilized the following parameters for spatial normalization: sixteen iterations, regularization equal to one, 8-mm FWHM for smoothing the source image, and nonsmoothing for the reference image.
To lay the foundation for future studies of histone demethylation-regulated gene expression, we utilized this procedure to investigate the profile of Jumonji gene family histone demethylase expression in neurons, microglia and astrocytes from the healthy CNS.
