The metastatic colony is the end result of a complicated multistep process. The tumor cells from a primary tumor invade local tissue and gain access to the venous circulation (intravasation). Circulating tumor cells, singly or in clumps, are transported to target organs where they lodge in the capillary bed. Thus arrested, these tumor cells penetrate the endothelial cell lining and the underlining basement membrane to exit the circulation (extravasation). They then grow as a metastatic colony, a development that requires new blood vessels (neovascularization). To complete this multistep process, the tumor cells must overcome the host's defenses.

The NHLBI is promoting studies of how the normal lung develops and how its arrested or altered development leads to BPD. The goal of these efforts is to define the cellular events and reactions that occur as BPD develops (pathogenesis) and to understand the abnormal lung function (pathophysiology) of BPD. Research scientists are seeking ways to promote lung maturation and to forestall or minimize the consequences of lung prematurity at birth, to design more effective treatment methods for BPD, and to prevent prematurity.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | TRIAL, n. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors. In order to effect this purpose it is necessary to supply a contrast in the person of one who is called the defendant, the prisoner, or the accused. If the contrast is made sufficiently clear this person is made to undergo such an affliction as will give the virtuous gentlemen a comfortable sense of their immunity, added to that of their worth. In our day the accused is usually a human being, or a socialist, but in mediaeval times, animals, fishes, reptiles and insects were brought to trial. A beast that had taken human life, or practiced sorcery, was duly arrested, tried and, if condemned, put to death by the public executioner. Insects ravaging grain fields, orchards or vineyards were cited to appeal by counsel before a civil tribunal, and after testimony, argument and condemnation, if they continued in contumaciam the matter was taken to a high ecclesiastical court, where they were solemnly excommunicated and anathematized. In a street of Toledo, some pigs that had wickedly run between the viceroy's legs, upsetting him, were arrested on a warrant, tried and punished. In Naples and ass was condemned to be burned at the stake, but the sentence appears not to have been executed. D'Addosio relates from the court records many trials of pigs, bulls, horses, cocks, dogs, goats, etc., greatly, it is believed, to the betterment of their conduct and morals. In 1451 a suit was brought against the leeches infesting some ponds about Berne, and the Bishop of Lausanne, instructed by the faculty of Heidelberg University, directed that some of "the aquatic worms" be brought before the local magistracy. This was done and the leeches, both present and absent, were ordered to leave the places that they had infested within three days on pain of incurring "the malediction of God." In the voluminous records of this cause celebre nothing is found to show whether the offenders braved the punishment, or departed forthwith out of that inhospitable jurisdiction. |
