OUCHI, E., MUTRA, K. and YAMAGATA, S. Reevaluation of Congo Red Test as Reticuloendothelial System Function Test Using Tritiated Congo Red Autoradio graphy. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1973, 109 (3), 251-259 Tritiated Congo red was prepared by the gas exposure method. Analytical results obtained by thin layer chromatography and spectrophotometry indicated that the radioactive Congo red thus prepared h...

BACKGROUND Genital tuberculosis (GTB) is an important cause of female infertility, especially in developing countries. The positive results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in endometrial GTB in the absence of tubal damage raise the possibility of the detection of sub-clinical or latent disease, with doubtful benefits of treatment. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the mycobacterium tuberculosis infect...

Slowing of the hippocam-pal θ rhythm correlates with anesthetic-induced amnesia. Differential effects of isoflur-ane on high-frequency and low-frequency γ oscillations in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus in freely moving rats. A. High-frequency gamma oscillations and human brain mapping with electrocortico-graphy. Homeostatic control of slow-wave and spindle frequency activity during human s...

1. Department of Medical Imaging, Campus Sint-Jan, Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg, Genk, Belgium. Background: A 15-year-old girl presented in a Dutch hospital with right-sided trigeminal neuralgia. MR-imaging showed a mass lesion in the right cavernous sinus. Differential diagnosis in this hospital was a meningioma or a schwannoma. The patient was referred to the neurosurgery department of our hospita...

Leaf area index (LAI) is an important parameter for forestry vegetation canopy structure investigation and ecological environment model study. Traditional ground direct measuring method too time labor consuming, while the remote sensing technique lacks of adequate validation comparative analysis. Here, a novel wireless LAI sensor based on lightweight deep learning (LAINET) has been designed wit...

Abstract Objective Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology represents a novel method for manufacturing aligners. The aim of the present study was to assess in-vitro cytotoxicity 3D-printed aligners using different post-polymerisation conditions. Materials Aligners were printed same 3D-print resin (TC-85DAC, Graphy, Seoul, Korea) and printer (AccuFab-L4D, Shining 3D Tech. Co., Hangzhou, China...

descriptive tasks that will enable them to answer questions about how social life proceeds, and then they work toward explaining more formally why patterns appear in their data. Making the transition from ‘how?’ to ‘why?’ can be a dilemma, but the ethnographer’s folk culture provides especially useful clues. By dwelling on their appreciation of especially luminous data, ethnographers can light ...

The Protein Crystallography Station (PCS), located at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center (LANSCE), was the first macromolecular crystallography beamline to be built at a spallation neutron source. Following testing and commissioning, the PCS user program was funded by the Biology and Environmental Research program of the Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-OBER) for 13 years (2002...

Changes in pigment content allow seagrasses to photo-acclimate to dynamic light environments, but lightand salinity-induced stress may reduce this ability. In this study, Thalassia testudinum seedlings were exposed to two light treatments (50 – 70% reduction and full sun) and three salinity treatments (20, 35, and 50) in a 44-day mesocosm experiment. Variation in leaf pigment content (chlorophy...
