This is a preliminary note on an attempt to develop a technique for estimating the bone marrow cellularity in man. At present there is no means of making such an estimate, and discussions of the probably mitotic interval and bone marrow life span of the different stages of erythrocyte precursors are based on calculations of the known average red cell life, the total numbers of red cells and ret...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between hematological indices and serum uric acid in adolescents with hyperuricemia. METHODS 10-year retrospective cohort study of 607 patients with hyperuricemia registered with the Pediatric Nephrology Department. RESULTS There was a statistically significant positive correlation between serum uric acid levels and BMI Z-scores (r=0.406, P<0.001), white...

BACKGROUND The heritable haemoglobinopathy alpha(+)-thalassaemia is caused by the reduced synthesis of alpha-globin chains that form part of normal adult haemoglobin (Hb). Individuals homozygous for alpha(+)-thalassaemia have microcytosis and an increased erythrocyte count. Alpha(+)-thalassaemia homozygosity confers considerable protection against severe malaria, including severe malarial anaem...

We estimated the light use efficiency (LUE) via vegetation canopy chlorophyll content (CCCcanopy) based on in situ measurements of spectral reflectance, biophysical characteristics, ecosystem CO 2 fluxes and micrometeorological factors over a maize canopy in Northeast China. The results showed that among the common chlorophyll-related vegetation indices (VIs), CCCcanopy had the most obviously e...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the diet containing Laurencia caspica (red algae) on blood parameters and digestive enzymes activity of goldfish after 90-day period. Goldfish (weight 6.10±0.1 gr) were divided to four experimental groups (30 individuals in each replication) including experimental treatment of the control group (without using red algae) and three trea...

Leaf area index (LAI) and biomass are important indicators of crop development and the availability of this information during the growing season can support farmer decision making processes. This study demonstrates the applicability of RapidEye multi-spectral data for estimation of LAI and biomass of two crop types (corn and soybean) with different canopy structure, leaf structure and photosyn...

INTRODUCTION Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited disorder of haemoglobin worldwide. This study evaluated the chromatographic patterns and red blood cell indices of sickle cell patients to determine the co-inheritance of other haemoglobin(Hb) variants and β-thalassaemia trait. METHODS Red cell indices, blood film, sickle solubility test, Hb electrophoresis using alkaline cel...
