Journal ArticleDOI
Gonadal steroid–dependent effects on bone turnover and bone mineral density in men
Joel S. Finkelstein,Hang Lee,Benjamin Z. Leder,Sherri-Ann M. Burnett-Bowie,David W. Goldstein,Christopher W. Hahn,Sarah C. Hirsch,Alex Linker,Nicholas Perros,Andrew B. Servais,Alexander P. Taylor,Matthew L. Webb,Jonathan M. Youngner,Elaine W. Yu +13 more
TL;DR: Estrogens primarily regulate bone homeostasis in adult men, and testosterone and estradiol levels must decline substantially to impact the skeleton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Heteropolysaccharide Adhesion to the Glycocalyx of Visceral Mesothelium.
Andrew B. Servais,Arne Kienzle,Cristian D. Valenzuela,Alexandra B. Ysasi,Willi L. Wagner,Willi L. Wagner,Akira Tsuda,Maximilian Ackermann,Steven J. Mentzer +8 more
TL;DR: Study of the interaction of various pectin formulations with the mesothelium of the lung, liver, bowel, and heart indicates that HMP, in an equal weight % mixture with CMC, is a promising mesothelial bioadhesive for use in experimental and therapeutic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural heteropolysaccharides as air-tight sealants of the human pleura.
Andrew B. Servais,Arne Kienzle,Alexandra B. Ysasi,Cristian D. Valenzuela,Willi L. Wagner,Willi L. Wagner,Akira Tsuda,Maximilian Ackermann,Steven J. Mentzer +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that pectin-based heteropolysaccharides are a promising air-tight sealant of human pleural injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Mechanics of a Pectin-Based Pleural Sealant after Lung Injury.

TL;DR: To explore the potential role of an equal (weight%) mixture of high-methoxyl pectin and carboxymethylcellulose as a pleural sealant, a comparison of the yield strength of the pECTin-based polymer to commonly available surgical products showed significantly greater adhesion to the lung pleura than the comparison products.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the morphologic and mechanical properties of pectin adhesion to the visceral pleural surface of the lung and found that the pectins' tensile adhesive strength was greater than nanocellulose fiber films or pressure sensitive adhesives.
