“…For example, rose bengal has been used to study liver function [Stowe et al, 1933]. Fluorescein was used to study the circulation time of blood in humans and rabbits [Hollenhorst and Kearns,19'61] and also to determine upper gastrointestinal bleeding [Fishback, 1941;Glaser and Charles, 1963]. Rhodamine WT (RWT) and pontacyl brilliant pink (PBP), have been injected into the carotid arteries of Sprague Dawley laboratory rats, and their presence has been detected in the tail artery [Donaldson, 1971].…”

Of seven fluorescent dyes tested, rhodamine WT (RWT) and pontacyl brilliant pink (PBP) were the only two found to be suitable for tracer studies of water movement in plants. The results indicate that RWT is superior to PBP. The dyes were introduced in the aqueous form into the root zone of plants and were rapidly absorbed and transported to the leaves. The dosages were 1, 2, and 5 grams of dye per 32 kg of soil. With the largest dosage, the dye could be observed visually in the leaves. The concentrations of dye per gram of plant tissue ranged from 5 μg of PBP in oleander plants to 323 μg of RWT in fir plants. The time that elapsed from introduction of the dye into the soil until its detection in the leaves varied from 4 to 24 hours. Neither RWT nor PBP had produced any observable adverse effects when the plants were inspected up to 160 days after injection. Interference by the plant material in measuring the dye concentration was not a problem.

“…The whole testing can take from 3 to 4 h of a physician's time and this limits its use to special situations [2]. Also if the bleeding is very profuse and demands prom pt therapy there is no possibility to lose so much time for such a diagnostic procedure.…”

“…The fluorescein string test, described originally by Traphagen and Karlan (1958), has received wide acceptance as a safe and accurate method for localizing the site of bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract Haynes, Pittman, and Christakis, 1960;Glaser and Charles, 1963;Pittman, 1964;Reisberg and Haubric, 1965;Nissenbaum, Attia, DiBianco, and Groisser, 1965). To perform this test, a radiopaque marked tape or tube is passed orally into the upper intestine and a radiograph of the upper abdomen is obtained to ascertain the position of the device.…”
