Product Description
To condemn Dressed to Kill as a Hitchcock rip-off is to miss the sheer enjoyment of Brian De Palma's delirious 1980 thriller. Hitchcockian homages run rampant through most of De Palma's earlier films, and this one's chock-full of visual quotes, mostly cribbed from Vertigo and Psycho. But De Palma's indulgent depravity transcends simple mimicry to assume a vitality all its own. It's smothered in thickly atmospheric obsessions with sex, dread, paranoia, and voyeurism, not to mention a heavy dose of Psycho-like psychobabble about a wannabe transsexual who's compelled to slash up any attractive female who reminds him--the horror!--that he's still very much a man.
Angie Dickinson plays the sexually unsatisfied, fortysomething wife who's the killer's first target, relaying her sexual fantasies to her psychiatrist (Michael Caine) before actually living one of them out after the film's celebrated cat-and-mouse sequence in a Manhattan art museum. The focus then switches to a murder witness (De Palma's then-girlfriend Nancy Allen) and Dickinson's grieving whiz-kid son (Keith Gordon), who attempt to solve the murder while staying one step ahead (or so they think) of the crude detective (Dennis Franz) assigned to the case. Propelled by Pino Donaggio's lush and stimulating score, De Palma's visuals provide seductive counterpoint to his brashly candid dialogue, and the plot conceals its own implausibility with morbid thrills and intoxicating suspense. If you're not laughing at De Palma's shameless audacity, you're sure to be on the edge of your seat. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

DePalma has often been accused or ripping off Hitchcock, but I don't think that's the case. Always using an imaginative twist as his fulcrum, DePalma gave us some really intense, chilling thrillers, heavy at times on sex and violence, but nonetheless, hypnotic and mesmerizing.
The cast performs adequately, although Caine seems a little disinterested and Dennis Franz plays his crude cop for the hundredth time. Nancy Allen and Keith Gordon are fine, but Angie really steals the film, even if only briefly. Without any dialogue, she shows how lonely and "hungry" she is while chasing this stud around the museum. And as with Leigh, one can't help but feel sorry for their untimely demise.
Not one of DePalma's best, but still a deserving thriller.
by Brian De Palma.the DVD had both the"R" rated version and the unrated
version.i chose the unrated version.since i have yet to view the "R"
rated version,i can't be completely sure of the difference.there is
however a very graphic graphic female nudity including a scene of
explicit expression of self gratification in this version.i guess you
could call this scene soft core porn.if this sort of thing may offend
you,i would suggest you view the "R" rated version.but i digress.Any
comment from here on refers to the unrated version.this is a murder
mystery/ psychological horror/suspense movie.there is very little
violence and blood.there is however one death sequence of note.the act
of the killing itself is fairly graphic.however the blood it self does
not look real.it is reminiscent of how a 70's slasher film would look.i
believe this is done deliberately to offset the violence of the act
itself,to give the scene a low budget feel.most of the violence,or
rather possibility of such,is implied.the film is very well paced.as
far as i can tell every scene had a purpose,which i find very rare when
compared to many of today's films. anyway,i also thought the acting was
good,especially Angie Dickinson.and Micheal Cane turns in a quietly
understated performance in his role,which works brilliantly in this
case.the movie also has one great twist in it,in my mind,although some
people might find it predictable.the only complaint(and it's really
more of an observation)i have is that i thought the character played by
Nancy Allen could have been fleshed out more,especially considering she
has a fair amount of screen time.Read more ›
But watching this movie with 25 years of hindsight, when people tend to be more open about sex, you have to wonder what was the point of this film, and what was an actor as good as Michael Caine doing in it. Angie Dickinson, another highly paid actress of the era, is also in it, but frankly her death is so badly acted that you could fairly say she deserved this film.
De Palma is a great user of that "Actually it was all a dream" device that we're warned to avoid in creative writing classes. So we get two dream sequences -- each with a central shower scene -- which are both flimsy excuses to get the clothes off his leading ladies (Dickinson and Nancy Allen). Despite the partial use of a body-double for Dickinson, these are attractive, gripping scenes, and probably the highlights of the movie.
The less said about the geekish son and the police detective, the better. Allen's redemption from NY hooker to sleep-alone companion (in chintz night attire!) to the son is also less than convincing.
Kate Miller (Angie Dickinson) is a lonely wife bored with her life. After a visit with Dr. Elliot (Michael Caine), her psychiatrist, she follows his bold advice and seeks comfort in a stranger. After a seductive, dangerous encounter, Kate meets a shocking end. A prostitute named Liz, (Nancy Allen) who discovered Kate's body, finds herself teaming with the victim's son Peter (Keith Gordon) to track the killer. The pair thinks that the police, led by detective Marino (Dennis Franz), are not doing enough to look for the prime suspect, a blonde woman in a trenchcoat.
I've heard some people complain that all De Palma really does here is rip off the struture of a few of Hitchcock's better film's and paste them together. I don't think that's the film's main problem though. Certainly, one can't deny that he pays strong homage to "the master of suspense" in this and other films, he does it with a clear respect. The problem I have with Dressed, has to do with the fact that, the script's twists are easy to spot and or figure out. The acting is good enough. Things are so well stylized that you can't help but watch, and go along for the ride, despite any issues
The special edition DVD has both the controversial unrated and R-rated versions of the film on the disc. There's only about a 2 minute difference between the cuts. I applaud the powers that be for including both versions. The 45 minute documentary "The Making of a Thriller", along with three additional featurettes, give you a sense of what things were like behind the scenes.Read more ›

Medal of Honor drops Taliban option
Electronic Arts has decided to ditch the controversial playable Taliban option from the forthcoming reboot of Medal of Honor, after bowing to pressure from the US military as well as friends and relatives of soldiers involved in the War in Afghanistan.
In the game, the Taliban will now simply be referred to as "Opposing Force".
A statement from the game's executive producer Greg Goodrich read:
"In the past few months, we have received feedback from all over the world regarding the multiplayer portion of Medal of Honor. We've received notes from gamers, active military, and friends and family of servicemen and women currently deployed overseas. The majority of this feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. For this, the Medal of Honor team is deeply appreciative".
"However, we have also received feedback from friends and families of fallen soldiers who have expressed concern over the inclusion of the Taliban in the multiplayer portion of our game. This is a very important voice to the Medal of Honor team. This is a voice that has earned the right to be listened to. It is a voice that we care deeply about. Because of this, and because the heartbeat of Medal of Honor has always resided in the reverence for American and Allied soldiers, we have decided to rename the opposing team in Medal of Honor multiplayer from Taliban to Opposing Force".
The game is due out for Xbox 360 and PS3, as well as a PC version, on 12 October in the States and 2 days later in Europe.
If you're going down the PC route for this title then you may also want to consider the open beta of the game, which is being hosted by Fileplay.net in the UK from 4 - 7 October.
"We expect unprecedented levels of demand for the Medal of Honor multiplayer beta during the four days it's available", said Craig Fletcher, managing director of Multiplay and owner of Fileplay.
"It's going to be test of the service, but we're confident we will once again prove to be the best in the business when it comes to distributing high-profile files".

|Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?
|Other or expanded principles
|Do you support United States' combat operations in Afghanistan?
|Do you support a timetable for withdrawal from Afghanistan?
|Other or expanded principles
I stand firmly behind the men and women of our armed services, and think that a safe and orderly withdrawal of our troops should happen as quickly as possible.
Indicate which proposals you support (if any) for balancing the federal budget.
In order to balance the budget,
|do you support reducing defense spending?
|do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?
|do you support reducing Medicaid spending?
|do you support reducing Medicare spending?
|Is balancing the budget a legislative priority?
|Other or expanded principles
There are multiple efficiency initiatives and program cuts identified by former Defense Secretary Gates and current Secretary Panetta that should be seriously vetted and if found not to compromise the nation's security should be implemented. These initiatives will reduce excess overhead, operations expenses, and personnel costs across the defense enterprise, and achieve better buying power in our acquisition of systems and services. If done responsibly, I believe that we can protect the all-volunteer force and continue to provide a strong national defense of the United States.
|Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions?
|Other or expanded principles
I am cosponsor and advocate for the passage of the DISCLOSE Act, as we must address the unregulated campaign funds that the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision unleashed.
|Do you support capital punishment for certain crimes?
|Other or expanded principles
I believe there is always a chance for rehabilitation of persons that have been convicted of crimes; others who cannot benefit from rehabilitation are usually mentally disabled, and to kill them is not a humane option to increasing public safety.
|Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth?
|Do you support providing tax incentives to businesses for the purpose of job creation?
|Do you support spending on infrastructure projects for the purpose of job creation?
|Do you support the temporary extension of unemployment benefits?
|Do you support the 2010 temporary extension of tax relief?
|Other or expanded principles
Investment in our nation's transportation infrastructure, including construction of roads, bridges and transit programs creates good paying jobs for Americans. Additionally, with energy prices soaring we must spur development in clean, renewable energy programs and that is why I am a strong supporter of loan guarantees and tax credits to spur research and development of next generation energy solutions.
|Do you support requiring states to implement education reforms in order to be eligible for competitive federal grants?
|Other or expanded principles
Failures of "No Child Left Behind" have already demonstrated what happens when the federal government attempts to impart a one-size-fits-all approach to the country's school system. I order to address these issues, I support having states taking the initiative to develop educational reforms that will best serve the unique needs of each of their students in order to receive competitive federal grants.
|Do you support reducing restrictions on offshore energy production?
|Other or expanded principles
Hawaii's unique climate and environment creates an opportunity for the state to lead the nation and the world in research and development of new energy sources including solar, wind, geothermal and hydro. Capitalizing on our islands' potential as a green energy hub is an imperative as our current reliance on petroleum is unsustainable.
|Do you believe that human activity is contributing to climate change?
|Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions?
|Other or expanded principles
As an island state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, climate change, sea-level rise and ocean acidification have direct and dire impacts on our daily lives. Our islands are blessed with some of the most diverse ecosystems and endangered species on the planet and we must do what we can to protect them. This includes being vigilant in monitoring and stopping the spread of invasive species that can wreak havoc on our environment.
|Do you support restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns?
|Other or expanded principles
I support the rights of states to establish registration requirements, waiting periods, and carry laws. The United States Constitution explicitly prohibits an outright ban on firearms.
|Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act?
|Should individuals be required to purchase health insurance, as mandated in the 2010 Affordable Care Act?
|Other or expanded principles
The Affordable Care Act addresses much-needed changes in our health care system. Since enactment, 17 million children with pre-existing conditions now have health insurance, 54 million Americans are now receiving free preventative care services, and 105 million Americans no longer have to deal with lifetime caps. The law was intentionally designed to require all individuals to purchase health insurance in order to support all insurance applicants, as health insurance companies depend on mass participation to maintain a balanced risk pool.
|Do you support requiring illegal immigrants to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship?
|Do you support allowing illegal immigrants, who were brought to the United States as minors, to pursue citizenship without returning to their country of origin?
|Do you support the enforcement of federal immigration law by state and local police?
|Other or expanded principles
While I think that the immigration process in America needs to be improved, I believe the United States has always drawn upon its diversity as a source of moral strength and intellectual vigor. In the case of children brought to the United States and raised and educated here, I find it difficult to punish them for their parents' choices just as they achieve adulthood and start to become prosperous in our society. This is why I have co-sponsored the DREAM Act and support President Obama's new directive for immigration enforcement.
|Do you support same-sex marriage?
|Other or expanded principles
I have always believed that marriage should be between a man and a woman. However, I have argued forcefully and consistently for the rights of all Americans. I am proud of the work I did to help write and first pass Hawaii's civil unions law, my support of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, and my co-sponsorship of the Respect for Marriage Act. If court rulings or legislative acts grant same-sex partners the right to marry, nationally or in the state of Hawaii, I will fully support those decisions.
|Unknown Position
Do you support targeting suspected terrorists outside of official theaters of conflict?
|Should the U.S use military force in order to prevent Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon?
|Other or expanded principles
Our government must continue to counter Iran's nuclear program through diplomatic means. I believe that Iran's efforts to acquire and develop nuclear weapons pose a direct threat to the stability of the Middle East. By strengthening sanctions and our efforts to deter these programs, we promote outcomes that are in the best interests of the United States and our allies. Should all diplomatic means be exhausted, the United States should explore other ways to halt this program, including military action if we are sure they possess a nuclear weapon.
|Do you support allowing individuals to divert a portion of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts?
|Other or expanded principles
Social Security is the ultimate retirement system, and in order for it to survive, we need the participation of all individuals. I believe that permitting exceptions to this rule would risk the already-fragile solvency of the Social Security trust fund.

The angioarchitecture of extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder of the miniature rabbit was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of vascular corrosion casts. Light microscopy of Masson-stained, paraffin-embedded transverse tissue sections served to attribute cast vascular structures to defined layers of bile ducts and gallbladder. In all segments of the bile tract, a mucosal and a subserosal vascular network was found. In glandular segments, the mucosal network was composed of a meshwork of subepithelial and circumglandular capillaries, which serve the mucosal functions. Differences in the angioarchitectonic patterns existed only in the subserosal networks as hepatic ducts own one supplying arteriole only, while the common bile duct owns a well-defined rete arteriosum subserosum. A well-developed dense subserosus venous plexus was present throughout the bile tract. Vascular patterns of the gallbladder body resembled those of the bile duct, whereby the dense subserous venous plexus was located close to the mucosal capillary network. The subserosal network in the neck of the gallbladder resembled that of the cystic duct. Spatial changes of the mucosal vascular network during volume changes of the gallbladder were documented. Measurements from tissue sections revealed bile tract diameters of 220–400 μm (extrahepatic ducts), 500–650 μm (cystic duct), and 4–6 mm (common bile duct). Data gained from high-powered SEM micrographs of vascular corrosion casts revealed vessel diameters of 200 μm (cystic artery), 90–110 μm (cystic vein), 30–40 μm (feeding arterioles), and 25–110 μm (subserosal venules). Crypt diameters in the filled gallbladder were 300–1,500 μm; those in the contracted organ were 100–600 μm. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
The rabbit bile tract is supplied by two branches of the common hepatic artery, namely, the left branch of the proper hepatic artery for the hepatic ducts, the gallbladder, and the cystic duct, and the pancreatic-duodenal artery, which gives off branches to the common bile duct and the duodenal papilla (Bednarova and Malinovsky, 1988). Presently, the microvasculature of the intrahepatic bile ducts of the rat (Ohtani and Murakami, 1978; Ohtani et al., 1983) and the rabbit (Ohtani, 1979; Cho and Lunderquist, 1983; Ohtani et al., 1983; Aharinejad et al., 1991; Cagiatti et al., 1992) is described. Ohtani and Murakami (1978), Ohtani (1979), Ohtani et al. (1983), and Cho and Lunderquist (1983) described the ramifications of the intrahepatic branches of the hepatic artery, which form peribiliary plexus and additionally give off arterioles to the liver sinusoids and/or Glisson sheaths, while Cagiatti et al. (1992) studied structure and angioarchitecture of the mucosal folds of the gallbladder, and Ohtani et al. (1997) referred to the extremely dense network of subepithelial capillaries of the guinea pig gallbladder, confirming previous findings reported by Aharinejad and Lametschwandtner (1992) and Caggiati et al. (1992). The authors reported two vascular plexuses within the wall of the gallbladder, namely, an outer subserosal plexus with supplying arterioles and draining venules and an inner mucosal plexus composed of the dense network of subepithelial capillaries.
The three-dimensional organization of the blood vessels of the bile tract is described in the rat, guinea pig, dog, and man (Lang, 1970; Pfoerringer, 1971; Ohtani, 1979; Aharinejad et al., 1991, 1992, 1994; Aharinejad and Lametschwandtner, 1992; Gaudio et al., 1993). These studies clearly showed that two vascular plexuses exist along the whole bile tract/bile ducts and that despite common vascular patterns, species-specific differences exist, e.g., in the distribution of the serosal blood vessel or the presence or absence of periglandular capillaries.
The aim of the present study is to analyze and correlate the light microscopical structure of selected segments of the extrahepatic bile ducts, namely, the extrahepatic ducts, the cystic duct, the common bile duct, and the gallbladder, with the architecture of the microvascular bed of these segments.
Vascular Corrosion Casting
Six 4-month-old miniature New Zealand rabbits (four females, two males; body weight, 500–700 g) purchased from a local breeder were studied. Animals were injected intraperitoneally with an overdose of sodium pentobarbital and the blood vascular system was rinsed with saline via the thoracic aorta-celiac artery followed by the injection of 40–60 ml of Mercox CL-2B diluted with monomeric methylmethactylate (v:v = 4:1) containing 1.5 g catalyst (paste MA) per 20 ml monomeric methylmethactylate (Ladd Research, Burlington, VA) using manual pressure. Specimens were excised, placed into a water bath (12 hr, 60°C), macerated (15% NaOH, 12 hr, 35°C), rinsed in tap water, cleaned in 10% formic acid, washed in a series of distilled water, and air-dried. Some corrosion cast were frozen in the distilled water and cut into small pieces with a razor blade. All dry specimens were mounted with colloidal silver according to the method of Lametschwandtner et al. (1980). After sputter-coating with gold, specimens were examined in the scanning electron microscope LEO 435 VP (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) at an accelerating voltage of 10–15 kV and a working distance of 4–10 mm. Micrographs were taken at magnifications ranging from 36 to 1,050×. Vessel diameters were measured in high-powered scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs keeping image depth of focus low to minimize errors in length (diameter) measurements.
After a thorough SEM inspection of the serosal vascular patterns, selected specimens were demounted from specimen stubs, freed of conductive bridges, submerged in a container of suitable size filled with distilled water, frozen, mounted onto wooden support plates, and sectioned transversely by a mini-wheel-saw (Lametschwandtner and Lametschwandtner, 1992) in the frozen state for later comparison with histological transverse sections. Sectioned specimens were cleaned in several passages of distilled water and reprocessed as described above.
For light microscopical observations, three adult miniature rabbits were rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline via the thoracic artery. Then extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder were excised and fixed by immersion in Bouin's solution. Specimens were dehydrated, embedded in paraplast, sectioned (transverse section thickness: 3–4 μm), stained with Masson's trichrome, periodic acid Schiff (PAS), and orcein-resorcin methods according to Romeis (1989). Sections of representative segments of the bile tract and the gallbladder were documented by an Axioscope microscope (Zeiss, Jena, Germany) equipped with a digital camera, and diameters were measured.
Hepatic Ducts
In the rabbit, bile from the hepatic lobes drains via intrahepatic biliary canaliculi into four or five extrahepatic ducts, which individually join the cystic duct (Fig. 1). A common hepatic duct is missing. Diameters of hepatic ducts range from 220 μm (close to the liver) to 340–400 μm (close to cystic duct). Arteriolar branches from the left hepatic artery with an average diameter of 26 μm supply hepatic ducts (Fig. 2a and b). They lie in the subserosal tissue, run obliquely to the long axis of the ducts, and capillarize immediately below the ductal epithelium. The wall of a hepatic duct consists of a flat mucosal layer composed of a simple cuboidal epithelium with single goblet cells intermingled between and an outer subserosal connective tissue layer (Fig. 2a). Close to the cystic duct, epithelial cells become cylindrical and simple mucous glands appear in the subepithelial lamina propria. Subepithelial capillaries form elongated irregular meshes (Fig. 2d). Blood from the mucosa drains into venules, which form a distinct venous plexus (Fig. 2b and c). Diameters of subserosal venules range from 22 to 45 μm; those of the main collecting venules merging into the cystic vein average 70 μm.
Cystic Duct
The cystic duct of the miniature rabbit is 7–12 mm long; its diameter is 500–650 μm (Fig. 1). The cylindrical cells of the duct mucosa own elongated nuclei (Fig. 3a). Their apical cytoplasm is condensed and PAS-positive. Few simple alveolar mucous glands lie beneath the epithelium.
The subserosal vascular plexus of the cystic duct is very dense (Fig. 3b). Supplying arterioles arise from the left hepatic artery. In the subserosa, they give off branches with average diameters of 30 μm. Arterioles run helically along the cystic duct, branch off short precapillary vessels with diameters from 16 to 25 μm, which finally enter the mucosa (Fig. 3c). Here they form the subepithelial capillary network with irregular-shaped meshes (Fig. 3d). Mesh sizes range from 40 to 60 μm. Subepithelial capillaries immediately drain into the subserosal venous plexus formed by voluminous venules averaging 30–50 μm in diameter (Fig. 3b, c, and e–h). Between subserosal venules many interconnections exist (Fig. 3b and c). Venules located near the branch of the cystic vein, which collects blood from the cystic duct's own valves (Fig. 3f). The diameter of the cystic vein, which runs parallel to the cystic duct, ranges from 90 to 110 μm (Figs. 1 and 3b).
Common Bile Duct
The common bile duct is the longest and thickest segment of the bile tract. In the miniature rabbit, it is about 1.5 cm long and 4–6 mm thick. It opens on the duodenal papilla into the cranial duodenum some 2 cm distal to the pylorus.
The common bile duct mucosa is slightly folded and owns alveolar and partly tubular PAS-positive mucous glands (Fig. 4a). Toward its junction with the duodenal wall, mucosal folds and mucous glands increase in number.
The blood supply to the common bile duct is via short arterioles, which arise about every 0.5 mm from the nearby pancreatic-duodenal artery. Arterioles have diameters around 40 μm, bifurcate, and obliquely embrace the duct (Fig. 4b). Vessels frequently interconnect and form a subserosal arterial network (= rete arteriosum subserosum). Subserosal venules (diameters: 80–110 μm) also interconnect frequently and form a dense venous network (= plexus venosus subserosum; Fig. 4b), whereby distances between collecting venules are larger than in the hepatic and the cystic duct. Locally, arteries and veins run side by side (Fig. 4b and c). A characteristic feature of the subserosal layer is the abundance of capillaries in the connective tissue (Fig. 4c). In the mucosa, precapillary arterioles give rise to a very dense subepithelial capillary network with 30–60 μm wide, rather polygonal meshes (Fig. 4d). Mucosal glands of the alveolar type located in the lamina propria (Fig. 4a) open into the duct lumen (Fig. 4d). A distinct capillary ring encircles the 50–120 μm wide glandular openings (Fig. 4d).
Gallbladders dissected from two dead miniature rabbits contained 0.6 ml in a small contracted organ and 1.0–1.2 ml in a fully filled distended gallbladder, suggesting a decrease in bile volume up to 50% during gallbladder contraction. If filled, the miniature rabbit gallbladder reveals an elongated 3 cm long body and a narrow neck of approximately 5 mm in diameter.
The wall of the gallbladder consists of a mucosal layer and a thin muscular layer, which is covered by a well-developed outer subserosal connective tissue layer. The muscular layer is made up by an obliquely or circularly running thin band of muscle cells. The prominent structures of the gallbladder mucosa are the connective tissue folds delineating the polygonal crypts. The height of the folds and the size of the crypts change with the grade of filling of the gallbladder. While crypt diameters in the filled state gain 300–1,500 μm, their diameters decrease to 100–600 μm and the mucosal folds become taller when the gallbladder contracts.
The muscular cystic artery is the main supply of the gallbladder. It arises from the left hepatic artery, has an average diameter of 200 μm, and owns a well-developed internal elastic membrane (Fig. 1). Along the neck and the body of the gallbladder, the artery runs parallel to the cystic vein. In the neck region, it gives off 2–3 arterioles, which obliquely traverse the dense subserosal venous plexus. This venous plexus closely resembles that of the cystic duct (Fig. 5). In the body region, the cystic artery gives off symmetrical arterioles, which further branch to form the arterial subserosal rete (= rete arteriosum subserosum; Fig. 6a). After crossing two-thirds of the length of the body of the gallbladder, the cystic artery bifurcates into two terminal branches directed toward the apex of the gallbladder. Terminal arterioles give off capillaries both to the subserosal connective tissue and the muscular layer, before they finally divide into short precapillary arterioles running to the base of mucosal folds (Fig. 6b). The mucosa shows a delicate subepithelial capillary network with 20–40 μm wide meshes, which closely follow the mucosal folds (Fig. 6c and d). Blood from the subepithelial capillaries drains both into venules running at the base of mucosal folds and into venules located at the bottom of the crypts (Fig. 6c, e, and f). In the full gallbladder, collecting venules are straight and run slightly obliquely from the tip toward the base of the mucosal folds (Fig. 6c). The diameter of collecting venules is about 25 μm. During contractions of the gallbladder, the regular patterns of polygonal mucosal crypts change so that venules in the then higher folds run almost perpendicular to the muscular layer (Fig. 6d). Additionally, capillaries and collecting venules in the mucosal folds become more tortuous. The venules draining blood from several crypts form the subserosal venous plexus (= plexus venosus subserosum). This plexus locates next to the muscular layer, i.e., beneath the superficial network of subserosal arterioles (Fig. 6c). Interestingly, venous valves were observed only in the cystic vein at the level of the gallbladder neck.
In the miniature rabbit, the extrahepatic bile tract becomes more complex and thicker the closer the tract approaches the duodenum. So diameters increase from approximately 400 μm (hepatic duct) to approximately 3–4 mm (common bile duct). Light microscopically, the hepatic ducts show a thin mucosa with an inner single-layered cuboidal epithelium and a thin outer subserosal connective tissue layer. In contrast, cystic duct, common bile duct, and gallbladder reveal a mucosa composed of a cylindrical epithelium with distinct microvilli. Moreover, the mucosa of the gallbladder forms folds, mucous glands appear in the connective tissue of the lamina propria, and the subserosal layer gets significantly thicker. These structures indicate not only that extrahepatic bile ducts, along with the gallbladder, serve the transport of liver metabolites, but that water and mineral salts are actively removed from the hepatic bile and that mucous components are supplemented to the gallbladder bile (Strombeck, 1979). The vascular network in the wall of the bile tract, and in particular the rather dense, volumenous subserosal venous plexus demonstrated so clearly by vascular casts, is strongly involved in these processes. It is interesting to note that in the miniature rabbit, separate branches of the left hepatic artery supply blood to extrahepatic ducts and to the cystic duct, whereas short arteriolar branches of the cranial pancreatic-duodenal artery supply the common bile duct and its intraduodenal segment in the duodenal papilla. The cystic artery, as a large branch of the left hepatic artery, supplies the gallbladder only. According to the classification of Gordon (1967), the dividing/branching of the cystic artery on the gallbladder body is defined as bipinnate.
Previous studies on the microvascularization of the walls of the bile tract in the rabbit, rat, and guinea pig described a subserosal and a mucosal plexus (Cho and Lunderquist, 1983; Aharinejad and Lametschwandtner, 1992; Aharinejad et al., 1992; Gaudio et al., 1993). We found a similar system of blood vessels in the miniature rabbit, where supplying arterioles and draining venules lie in the subserosal layer. Short arterioles arise from the subserosal arterial plexus and pass to the mucosa, where they form a subepithelial capillary network with small meshes making an intimate contact with epithelial cells and subepithelial mucosal glands. Blood from the mucosal capillary plexus drains via short postcapillary venules into the well-developed venous network of the subserosal layer.
Although the general structure of the layers is similar all over the whole bile duct, architectonic patterns of blood vessels differ in certain segments of the duct. The differences concern the system of supplying subserosal arterioles, which in the hepatic and cystic ducts impose as single vessels twisted spirally around the ducts, whereas they interconnect in the common bile duct and form an arterial network (rete), which according to the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (NAV) nomenclature (1994) may be defined as rete arteriosum subserosum. In all the above-mentioned segments of the bile tract, subserosal venules form a well-developed dense plexus venosus subserosus.
Interestingly, in the widest end segment of the bile tract, blood vessels run parallel in the subserosal layer, which resembles the situation given in the stomach and the intestines. The change in the vascular pattern found in the widest portion of the rabbit bile duct might be considered a feature characteristic for larger animals as a similar system is reported in the bile tract of the cat (data not shown). In the guinea pig, diameters of all the ducts of the bile tract remain constantly 1 mm thick and the vascular system is similar throughout its length (Aharinejad et al., 1992).
The second difference of the vascular system in the wall of the above-mentioned segments of the bile ducts is the mucosal capillary network composed of 30–60 μm wide polygonal meshes. As in the rat (Gaudio et al., 1993) and the guinea pig (Aharinejad et al., 1994), a dense subepithelial rete is present in the cystic and the common bile duct. This rete surrounds mucosal glands located in the lamina propria of the mucosa.
The patterns of subserosal and mucosal vascular networks are similar in the wall of the gallbladder and the bile duct system. Differences in the subserosal vascular network exist between the short neck and the body of the gallbladder. The more superficial, dense subserosal venous plexus in the neck resembles that in the cystic duct, whereas in the body the large veins lie under the superficial network of the subserosal arterioles close to the muscular coat. The microvascularization of the mucosal network of the gallbladder was the subject of research based on the vascular corrosion casts in the guinea pig and rabbit (Aharinejad and Lametschwandtner, 1992; Cagiatti et al., 1992). The present observations in the miniature rabbit made it possible to correlate vascular patterns with volume changes of the gallbladder. In the filled gallbladder, these postcapillary venules descend obliquely from the apex of the crypt folds to their base and further to the muscular coat; the pattern of these vessels is straight. In the contracted gallbladder, folds of the mucosa elongate with the simultaneous narrowing of the crypts and the mucosal venules become elevated in such a way that they become vertical blood vessels. Moreover, the pattern of venules and capillaries is more tortuous than in the bile tract segments. Contrary to the results obtained in the guinea pig, dog, and cat (Lang, 1970; Aharinejad and Lametschwandtner, 1992; Jackowiak and Godynicki, 2003), the rabbit has no special structures defined as vascular plicae or glomerula, constituting a kind of a reservoir, i.e., a set of replacement vessels observed as projections extending toward the lumen in the contracted gallbladder.
In conclusion, we consider the dense subserosal venous plexus found over the entire length of the bile tract and the rete arteriosum subserosum being present in the common bile duct only as vascular beds with high transport capacities for the delivery of substances to and/or the removal of others from the bile and thus play an important functional role for bile modification as well as for supplying nutrients and oxygen to the bile tract tissues.

Product Description
From Library Journal
This book offers comprehensive visual evidence of most of the styles of architecture and interior design that have influenced America and Britain since the Renaissance. It is arranged by period style and indexed by specific design features (staircases, windows, and stoves, for example) through the use of color tabs on right-hand pages. Each period is handled by a separate expert. The glossaries of suppliers and the restoration/maintenance information will appeal to historic preservationists. Altogether, this is an impressive reference work for architects, interior designers, and historians who need a quick fix on a specific style, feature, or detail.

AbstractMan/hardware-in-the-loop laboratory simulation is the most cost-effective methodology for evolving/maturing advanced single/multi-ship geolocation technologies because the battlefield can be brought to the laboratory through multi-spectral synthetic battlespace simulation. Current laboratory network-centric battlespace and RF threat environment simulators do not provide the required fidelity to accurately simulate the parameters needed to develop ultra-precise direction finding and geolocation capabilities. DRA proposes to solve this challenging technology limitation by developing an Single/Multi-ship Geolocation Testbed (SMGT) for rapid prototyping of advanced single/multi-ship geolocation systems. The SMGT flexible architecture will enable the development of advanced geolocation technologies for single and multiple aircraft within a controlled laboratory environment enabling repeatable test and step-by-step evaluation/debugging capabilities. SMGT will provide simulator technology to develop advanced geolocation capabilities for receiver/processor technologies within new military concepts such as Advanced Threat Alert (ATA), Sensors Forward and Lightweight Modular Support Jammer (LMSJ) for application to military aircraft such as F-35, F-15, F-16, F-117, B-2, and C-130. During Phase II, DRA will develop a prototype capability and demonstrate key performance characteristics. The Phase II effort will provide a building-block capability for rapid evolution of advanced single/multi-ship geolocation technology.
