The genus Pseudophoxinus Bleeker, 1860 is found in a wide range of habitats in central Anatolia, but it is not well known from a cytogenetic aspect. In this study the first karyotypic description of the spring minnows Pseudophoxinuscrassus (Ladiges, 1960) and Pseudophoxinushittitorum Freyhof & Özulug, 2010 by means of conventional methods (Giemsa staining, C-banding, silver nitrate impregnation...

We investigated the identity and distribution of cortical domains, stained by the endocytic marker FM 1-43, in branchlet internodal cells of the characean green algae Chara corallina and Chara braunii. Co-labeling with NBD C(6)-sphingomyelin, a plasma membrane dye, which is not internalized, confirmed their location in the plasma membrane, and co-labelling with the fluorescent pH indicator Lyso...

Recently, several chromosome banding techniques based on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have been developed for the human and the mouse genome. In contrast to the standard chromosome banding techniques presently used, giving a protein-related banding pattern, those FISH techniques are DNA-specific. Currently the FISH banding methods are still under development and no high resolution ...

We present a case in which Minimally Invasive Limited Ligation Endoluminal-assisted Revision (MILLER) banding was complicated by the development of a pseudoaneurysm at the site of attempted banding. A patient with a high-flow fistula and symptoms of distal arterial hypoperfusion underwent Miller banding. Six weeks post-Miller banding, the patient's symptoms of hand pain returned gradually and a...

[Purpose] This study developed methods of shoulder supporting banding and shoulder pulling banding using elastic bands for scapular dyskinesis patients with shoulder depression and scapular downward rotation and investigated the effect on shoulder pain and scapular position. [Subject] The subject was a scapular dyskinesis patient with shoulder depression and scapular downward rotation and shoul...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (∼40%) was induced in rats by banding of the abdominal aorta. After 16 wk, ventricular homogenates were prepared for biochemical measurements and ventricular myocytes were isolated for functional studies. In myocytes, the effects of banding on intracellular Ca handling, contraction, and excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling were determined using indo 1 fluorescence ...
