Background and aims—Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) from colonic mucosa was measured in vivo with and without ä aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in an attempt to diVerentiate between neoplasia and non-neoplasia in real time during colonoscopy. Methods—Spectra from 32 adenomas, 68 normal sites, and 14 hyperplastic polyps in 41 patients were obtained with a point monitoring system. Twenty one of the pa...

Percutaneous muscle biopsy is an important and acceptable technique in the study of conditions involving human skeletal muscle. A review of 436 conchotome and needle muscle biopsies obtained over 18 months in this centre is presented.

The study analyses the phonological interference of phoneme pronunciation [q] by Sundanese and Javanese speakers compared with Arabic speakers. researchers used a descriptive comparative qualitative method. listened, took notes, documented voice recordings male students from ethnic groups when reading Qur'an to collect research data analyse it using Praat software version 6.2.13. From results r...

Monoclonal antibodies directed against hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 protein can neutralize cell-cultured HCV and pseudoparticles expressing envelopes derived from multiple HCV subtypes. For example, based on antibody blocking experiments and alanine scanning mutagenesis, it was proposed that the AR3B monoclonal antibody recognized a discontinuous conformational epitope comprised of amino acid res...

Problem statement: The study of Malaysian Arabic phoneme is rarely found which make the references work difficult. Specific guideline on Malaysian subject is not found even though a lot of acoustic and phonetics research has been done on other languages such as English, French and Chinese. Approach: This study discussed about the correct and simplest way of Arabic phonemes pronunciation in Mala...

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant the concentration of which increases significantly following tissue injury or inflammation. It is present in the albumin fraction of the serum of patients and is antigenic upon injection into rabbits. We report here the development of a local latex reagent coated with rabbit anti-CRP. For this purpose CRP was isolated from pooled sera of patie...

Automatic sequencing of yeast enolase and of its chemically and enzymatically produced peptide fragments has established the sequence of 416 of the 436 residues in the enolase subunits. The missing segments have been provided from results from sequencing the DNA of the yeast enolase genes (Holland, M. J., Holland, J. P., Thill, G. P., and Jackson, K. A. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 1385-1395). Th...
