PURPOSE To analyze carbohydrate structures in basal laminar deposit (BLD), an extracellular material that accumulates between the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Bruch's membrane. BLD has been shown to correlate positively with visual loss in age-related macular degeneration. METHODS Thirteen postmortem human maculae with BLD were histochemically examined by light microscopy using the mo...

PURPOSE Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BCR) is a bilateral, chronic uveitis primarily involving the posterior segment that often results in progressive vision loss. Histopathology on eyes with BCR has been limited, but we had the rare opportunity to study the eyes of a donor with BCR. We sought to compare immunolabeling in the eyes of this donor who was treated with immunosuppression for over 30 y...

Introduction: One of the most common reasons of infertility is un-ovulatory period. Hormone therapy is the most common treatments of this type of infertility. Gonadotropins may exert toxic effects on the molecular organization of uterine surface, such as glycoconjugates. Glycoconjugates are the most important components of the uterine and trophoblast surface playing an important role in embryo ...

indandione 1 was brominated to yield 2-bromoindandione 2 which on further reacted with substituted thiocarbamides, carbamides, 2-aminothiophenols, 2-aminophenol and triazoles to furnished 3-substituted aniline-2-thia-4-aza-6,7-benzo-8-oxo-bicyclo [3.3.0]-1(5),3-octadiene 3, 3-substituted aniline-2-oxa-4-aza-6,7-benzo-8-oxo-bicyclo [3.3.0]-1(5),3-octadiene 4, 2-thia-5-aza-9-oxo-3,4-(3’-substitut...

Against the background of coordinated development Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region (BTH), it is great significance to quantitatively reveal spatiotemporal dynamics urban expansion for optimizing layout land across regions. However, characteristics, types and trends, spatial coevolution (including land, GDP, population) have not been well investigated in existing research studies. This study present...

the degree of aromaticity of mono-substituted derivatives of benzene has beeninvestigated using a new index based on electric field gradient index, by using two mechanicalquantum methods with gaussian 03. two different basis sets have applied to study and theresults compared. this strategy has demonstrated that, due to violation of symmetry in have pisystems,how the degree of aromaticity can ha...

Primary culture of rat brain endothelial cells is described, based on the method of C. C. W. Hughes and P. L. Lantos. The cells have been characterised using morphological and immunocytochemical techniques, and systematic studies undertaken to determine the optimal culture medium and conditions required to grow the cells at high purity on a variety of substrata. The endothelial cells have a spi...

The morphofunctional organization of the exocrine cells in the foregut of the red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta, was investigated by histochemistry (PAS, AB pH1.0 and pH 2.5, HID-AB, Bowie), lectin-histochemistry (WGA, SBA, UEA, ConA, PNA, DBA, sialidase-SBA, sialidase-PNA, Paradoxical ConA), and immunohistochemistry (antipepsin, anti-alpha-H+,K+ ATPase) to detect regional differences ...
