To Attend International Symposium on Oxygen Transport to Tissue in Ottawa, Canada, August 7-11, 1988

国际组织氧运输学会(ISOTT)致力于研究新陈代谢、合成代谢产物和代谢物在组织中的运输。ISOTT强调一种双重的科学和工程方法，利用跨学科、理论和实验方法来揭开组织维护、修复、生长和替换的秘密。该学会的成立是为了让国际科学家和工程师参与前沿技术的开发和应用，以便对正常组织功能所必需的重要物理/化学/生化现象有更基本的了解。该学会通过今天复杂的数学和实验手段，在推动过去的大体分析技术对组织微观区域的协同研究方面做出了贡献。已经努力在体外和体内获得区域组织一级的知识，现在正在迅速转向细胞一级的基本生化反应的检查。这项工作需要使用当今最强大的计算机器和最先进的实验方法，如极谱、自动射线照相、细胞测量和核磁共振技术。ISOTT的使命是加强对导致组织病理的机制的了解，克服病理趋势，修复和替换不起作用的组织。会议结果将以会议记录的形式公布(通常由全会出版社在其医学和生物学进展系列中发布)，将在世界各地用作参考。

The International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge concerning metabolism and anabolite and metabolite transport in tissue. ISOTT emphasizes a dual scientific and engineering approach, utilizing interdisciplinary, theoretical, and experimental methodology to unravel the secrets of tissue maintenance, repair, growth, and replacement. The Society was established to involve international scientists and engineers in the development and application of forefront techniques to allow a more basic understanding of the important physical/chemical/biochemical phenomena that are necessary for normal tissue functioning. The Society has made contributions in advancing the gross analysis techniques of the past to the synergistic studies of tissue micro areas by the sophisticated mathematical and experimental means of today. Efforts have been directed towards the acquisition of knowledge at the regional tissue level, both in vitro and in vivo, and are now moving rapidly to the examination of fundamental biochemical reactions at the cellular level. This work necessitates the use of today's most powerful computing machinery and the use of state-of-the-art experimental methodology, such as polarographic, auto radiographic, cytometric, and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. ISOTT's mission is to enhance the understanding of mechanisms that lead to tissue pathology, to overcome pathologic trends, and to repair and replace nonfunctioning tissue. The meeting results will be published as a proceedings (usually by Plenum Press in its Advances in Medicine and Biology series), which will be used as a reference throughout the world.
