چکیده

and spleen systems cannot be attributed to lack of precision of the assays (p = 0.01). We analyzedpurifiedliverferritin at several concentrations by immunoradiometric assay, using the spleen system, and similarly analyzed purified spleen fernitin, using the liver system. When theresultsforthepurifiedferntins were plotted along with the standards used in the analyses, the two fernitins appeared to be immunologically identical (Figures 2 and 3). The method we used for purifyingthese fernitin preparations involved multiple crystallizations in CdSO4, which probably minimizes differences in isofernitin composition (12). Although some tumor ferritins have demonstrably different isoferritin compositions and different immunoreactivities from that of liver and spleen fernitins (12), the usefulness of serum ferritin as a tumor marker is not now clear,whereas the usefulnessof measuring serum fernitin for evaluating body iron stores has been shown repeatedly. Even though the differencesbetween our two sets of values are statistically significant when the concentrations are very high, these concentrations are so extreme that the differences have no practical clinical significance. The choice of spleen or liver tissue for isolating ferritin might therefore be based on practical considerations.

Clinical Pathology Teaching in Laboratory by Socratic Method

Introduction: In recent decades, a variety of teaching methods has been offered for teaching different fields of science, but the old method of questions and answer is still popular and in use. This teaching method, generally applicable to small groups, is based on questioning and finding answers by students which can increase active learning. This study evaluated students' viewpoints toward cl...

Experimental Study of Sable Crack Growth in Thin Aluminium Sheet

Recent failure information from research teams in NASA Langley and others has shown that CTOA based fracture models calibrated on large C(T) and M(T) specimens can be transferred successfully to cracked aircraft fuselage structures for the assessment of their residual strength. A major difficulty that could limit the more extensive use of this failure parameter is its experimental measurement e...

Small interfering RNA; principles, applications and challenges--

Gene silencing using RNAi (RNA interference), has recently been used as a successful laboratory technique in determining the function and control of gene expression and provides a wide range of applications in molecular biology and gene therapy. RNAi is a method of suppressing gene expression. In this direction, a single-stranded RNA molecule of about 21–23 nucleotides, called siRNA (small inte...

Effect of Textured Foot Orthoses on the Ground Reaction Force Components in the Older Adults During Walking

Introduction: With aging, the pattern of walking is altered, and the person’s ability to walk will be decreased. Also, with the beginning of the aging process, the coordination of the postural control system was disturbed and lead to an unstable condition. A small biomechanical change in the lower limb is significant on postural control. The use of textured foot orthoses leads to improved effic...
