Autoradiographic Localization and Effects of Exogenous Radioactively Labelled Surfactant in the Lung of the Prematurely Delivered Fetal Rabbit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Adult rabbit lung surfactant was radioactively labelled with [3H]palmitate and isolated by centrifugation. This material was instilled into the trachea of fetal rabbits prematurely delivered on the 27th gestational day. A similar preparation of unlabelled surfactant was used to measure the effects on pressure-volume characteristics in lungs of 27th day fetuses. Tissue sections were prepared from the lungs of all animals and morphometric and autoradiographic determinations made. Surfactant instillation improved pressure-volume relationships in fetal rabbit lungs. Histologically, although only the middle right lobe seemed to show significant qualitative improvement in expansion after surfactant treatment, quantitative assessment indicated that the surfactant preparation had significantly increased the mean alveolar cross-sectional areas in all three lobes of right lungs. In addition, distribution of autoradiographic grains indicated that 8-25% were located over the alveolar spaces while approximately half this percentage was present over tissue at the level of the alveolus. These results indicate that intratracheal instillation of surfactant supplements the endogenous surfactant at the level of the alveolus.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
