THE RH BLOOD GROUP-RELATED PROTEINS have recently been recognized as ammonia transporters acting in erythrocyte and nonerythrocyte membranes. They play an important role in excretion of nitrogenous waste formed mainly from amino acid metabolism. Because of a restricted availability of water, most terrestrial animals detoxify ammonia into urea or uric acid before removal from the body. However, ...

background: balantidium coli infects humans, primates and pigs, causing serious diarrhea and dysentery. little information on the prevalence of b. coli in primates is available in china. this investigation was conducted to determine the prevalence of b. coli infection in bred rhesus monkeys in guangxi zhuang nationality autono-mous region (gznar), southern china. methods: a total of 120 fecal s...

Background. Determination of Rh-affiliation is mandatory for donors and recipients, surgical patients, pregnant women, etc. There are variants the D antigen that difficult to identify by serological methods, example, a weak antigen.
 Aim. using genotyping in cases, when use methods does not allow obtaining reliable result.
 Material methods. We studied blood samples from (n=18), women...

Myocardial necrosis can be result from a number of causes including nutritional deficiencies, chemical and plant toxins, ischemia and metabolic disorder. The outcome of myocardial necrosis varies depending on the extent of the damage (Donald 2001, Jubb 1993, Radostits 1994, Vanvaleet 1986). Myocardial infarction without demonstrable of atherosclerosis were reported in a rhesus macaque (Gonder 1...

BACKGROUND Invasive aspergillosis (IA) and mucormycosis contribute to substantial mortality, especially among immunocompromised persons, including those with hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), hematologic malignancy (HM), and solid organ transplant (SOT). METHODS Using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes available in the National Inpatient Sample, a hospital...

In the first report on the chemical structure of a nonmammalian LH-RH, chicken hypothalamic LH-RH was demonstrated to be [Gln8]LH-RH [2-4]. However, these studies and subsequent reports [7,8] did not totally exclude the possibility of a reverse sequence of the two amino acids Leu-Gln. In view of the recently described structure of salmon brain LH-RH as [Trp7,Leu8]LH-RH [9], we undertook to conf...
