Heparan sulphate is a sulphated glycosaminoglycan and is able to bind to and regulate the activity of many growth and signalling factors. We have previously shown that its expression is correlated with tumour grade and cell proliferation in breast phyllodes tumours. In this study, we examined the use of heparan sulphate as a biomarker of invasive ductal carcinoma and the effects of differential...

The gastric distribution of barium sulphate and its subsequent intestinal passage were examined by radiography in Potorous tridactylus. Barium sulphate administered in association with solid food passed to the sacciform forestomach from the tubiform forestomach. However, ingested barium sulphate suspension mainly entered the hindstomach via the gastric sulcus. Barium sulphate which entered the ...

Magnesium sulphate has previously been used as a purgative in a test involving the measurement of the faecal excretion of pancreatic enzymes. In order to validate the use of magnesium sulphate for this purpose, in 18 individuals the pancreatic and biliary response to intravenous infusion of secretin (1 CU/kg-h) plus CCK(1IU/kg-h) were compared with the responses to one of three dose-rates of ma...

the structural and electrical properties of polyaniline-cobalt sulphate nanocomposite prepared by chemical method.polyaniline-cobalt sulphate nanocomposites were synthesized by the cobalt sulphate and ammonium persulphate and aniline.this paper reports on chemical technique using for synthesis of cobalt nanoparticles in the composite bridge is aniline. electrical conductivity of polyaniline wit...

Ultrasonic velocities and densities have been measured for the aqueous solution of manganese sulphate, nickel sulphate and copper sulphate in polyvinyl alcohol solution, in different concentration at 303K. Adiabatic compressibility, intermolecular free length, acoustic impedance, surface tension and other acoustical parameters have been calculated to assess the polymer-ion interaction. It is se...

The distribution of gallium(b) and indium (b) between hydrochloric or sulphuric acid solution with sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid(CA-100) in kerosene has been investigated under various conditions. CA-100 is a new organocarboxylic extractant, which has been shown to be efficient for gallium(b) and indium(b) where...

1. Rat-liver supernatant preparations are capable of achieving the biological sulphation of l-tyrosine methyl ester, the reaction proceeding maximally at a substrate concentration of 30 mm and at pH 7.0. 2. Two sulphated products are formed, one of which has been identified as l-tyrosine O-sulphate. On the basis of indirect evidence the other product can be assumed to be l-tyrosine O-sulphate m...

Copper sulphate is a compound prepared by the action of sulphuric acid on copper II. Copper sulphate is widely used asfungicide, herbicide and for photography. In a human being, it can lead to anemia. Medical literature is lacking regarding accidental or suicidal poisoning cases of copper sulphate in Pakistan. We present a case of accidental ingestion of copper sulphate resulting in severe acut...
