a novel, simple, sensitive and effective method has been developed for preconcentration of hg(ii) on nano-fe3o4-dop-ed solid-phase extraction adsorbent. in this paper, dioctyl phthalate (dop) was used to encapsulate nano-fe3o4 and produce a nano-fe3o4-dop sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. this was treated with ethylenediamine (ed) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a n...

This paper analytically and numerically investigates misalignment mode-mismatch induced power coupling coefficients losses as a function of Hermite Gauss (HG) mode order. We show that higher-order HG modes are more susceptible to beam perturbations when, for example, into optical cavities: the mode-mismatch-induced scale linearly quadratically with respect indices respectively. As result, toler...

Human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (hGCSF) induces proliferation and differentiation of granulocyte progenitor cells. This glycoprotein is currently being used for treatment of neutropenia, in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplantation. So far, different researchers have tried to enhance hGCSF biological activity and stability. In this study, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR...

The present study aimed at investigating the beneficial effects of co-administering granulocyte colony–stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF) in a model of chronic liver injury induced by thioacetamide (TAA). Biochemical and histopathology- cal examinations were performed on serum and liver specimens. At the end of the treatment period, the rats were anesthetized with ether, seru...

OBJECTIVE To characterize and evaluate hematopoietic colony-stimulating factor (CSF) use, including cost implications, in US academic health centers. DESIGN An observational study of patients who received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) from September 1 to October 15, 1993. SETTING Thirty academic health centers in t...

Nine skin biopsies from seven herpes gestationis patients were studied by immunofluorescence (IF) techniques. Basement membrane zone (BMZ) deposition of C3 and properdin was present in all nine skin specimens, while IgG deposition was apparent in only one. With in vitro C3 IF staining, positive BMZ staining (HG factor activity) was noted with all seven of our patients' serum samples tested. By ...

Author(s): Poulin, BA; Janssen, SE; Rosera, TJ; Krabbenhoft, DP; Eagles-Smith, CA; Ackerman, JT; Stewart, AR; Kim, E; Baumann, Z; JH; Manceau, A | Abstract: The robust application of stable mercury (Hg) isotopes for source apportionment and risk assessment necessitates the understanding mass-dependent fractionation (MDF) as a result internal transformations within organisms. Here, we used high ...
