06/01/2013 - "After study approval by the institutional review board, written informed consent was obtained from 30 patients with lung tumors who underwent pre- and postoperative spirometry, pulmonary perfusion SPECT and dual-energy CT (80 kV and 140 kV/Sn) after single-breath inspiration of 35 % xenon. "
08/01/2005 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the TBF of pancreatic tumors calculated with xenon CT and those with perfusion CT, in order to evaluate whether perfusion CT could replace xenon CT. "

03/01/2012 - "TBFs of pancreatic tumors in 14 consecutive patients were measured by means of xenon-CT at diagnosis and following therapy. "

09/01/2014 - "5 MAC xenon preconditioning significantly improved cardiac function (P < 0.01), reduced myocardial infarct size (P < 0.01) and mitochondrial damage, increased SOD activity and decreased MDA level (P < 0.01). "
04/01/2013 - "Pretreatment with 75% xenon significantly improved cardiac function (P<0.01 vs. the I/R group, respectively), limited myocardial infarct size (20.83±2.16%, P<0.01 vs. 35.82±2.14% of the I/R group), reduced cardiac enzyme release (CK-MB, 1.00±0.19IU/L, P<0.01 vs. 0.44±0.14IU/L of the I/R group; LDH, 6.15±1.06IU/L P<0.01 vs. 3.49±0.37IU/L of the I/R group) and decreased apoptosis (6.17±0.56%, P<0.01 vs. 11.31±0.93% of the I/R group). "
11/01/2007 - "Our hypothesis for this study was that xenon reduces the size of myocardial infarction similar in extent to the reduction associated with ischemic preconditioning. "
07/01/2006 - "Several experimental studies have demonstrated a reduction in cerebral and myocardial infarction after xenon application. "
11/01/2007 - "Myocardial infarct size was not reduced with xenon preconditioning compared with the control group (59% +/- 11%, P = 0.41). "

02/03/2010 - "Our data suggested that xenon preconditioning improved histological and neurological functional outcome in both gender in a stroke model of mice."
