Immunohistochemical localization of tenascin and fibronectin in the dentine and gingiva of Canis familiaris.

Specific, well-characterized antisera to the extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin were used. Immunoreactivity was detected in association with dentinal tubules; it was particularly prominent in the tooth crown, and was stronger within matrix than within predentine. In contrast, there was no anti-fibronectin staining in dentinal tubules. In periodontium, anti-tenascin immunoreactivity was stronger in the oral and sulcular gingival epithelia than in the underlying connective tissue, in contrast to the strong staining of connective tissue by anti-fibronectin. The appearance of tenascin immunoreactivity in gingival epithelia indicates that this protein is not exclusively a component of mesenchymal extracellular matrix.

Systems integration: tying it all together.

Healthcare organizations' changing priorities have created needs for new information systems, as well as a demand for better integration of existing systems. Ten years ago, data processing concentrated on general and patient accounting, payroll, and accounts payable. Today, automated systems have to be able to gather data from several different systems to help in the added areas of patient care, cost management, and marketing. Making the transition from a manual to a truly integrated system is a gradual process, but will realize long-term benefits such as increased system efficiency, improved patient care, and better strategic business support. Before taking this step, healthcare executives need to know the typical problems that may occur with integration and what factors to consider before developing an integrated system.
