Circular DNA, derived from lymphocytes of juvenile channel catfish, was used to construct lambda libraries that were screened to identify the products of immunoglobulin DH-JH excision events. Clones were characterized that contained DH to JH recombination signal joints. The signal joints represented 23-bp recombination signal sequences (RSS) identical to germline JH segments that were adjacent ...

BACKGROUND Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a skin manifestation of celiac disease (CD), and is often the presenting and only complaint. There are few data comparing those with DH who present only with DH and those with DH who present mainly due to CD. OBJECTIVE We compared the prevalence of features usually associated with CD in those who presented with DH with patients in whom DH was part o...

BACKGROUND To investigate the hemodynamic characteristics of glaucoma eyes with disc hemorrhage (DH) by disc fluorescein angiography, and its relationship with glaucomatous changes of the optic disc and surrounding retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). METHODS This study included 35 glaucoma eyes with DH who were followed up at least 5 years and had DH at presentation. Eyes were classified as eye...

Purpose To evaluate the rate of change in ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) using a trend-based approach in early-stage glaucomatous eyes with disc hemorrhage (DH) and to compare the GCIPL thinning rate with that in glaucomatous eyes without DH. Methods This prospective observational study included 46 patients with early-stage...

the solubility of co2 in the primary, secondary, tertiary and sterically hindered amine aqueous solutions at various conditions was studied. in the present work, the modified kent-eisenberg (m-ke), the extended debye-hückel (e-dh) and the pitzer models were employed to study the solubility of co2 in amine aqueous solutions. two explicit equations are presented to evaluate the concentration of h...

Using liquid chromatography, we estimated the urinary excretion of20a-dihydrocortisol (20-DH)and urinary freecortisol (UFC)innormalsubjects and in40 patients withCushing’s syndrome of different etiologies. The median normal excretion rate (nmol/24 h) was 174 for 20-DH and 68 for UFC, the 20-DH/UFC ratio thus being 2.55. For patients with Cushing’s syndrome, the excretion rate was 1798 for 20-DH...

Compared with the pursed-lip breathing technique, acute application of portable noninvasive ventilation during recovery from intermittent exercise improved end-expiratory thoracoabdominal dynamic hyperinflation (DH) in 50% patients COPD (DH responders). DH responders, compared nonresponders, exhibited a reduction predominantly driven by abdominal compartment that effectively offset rib cage DH....

Given a cyclic group G and a generator g, the Diie-Hellman function (DH) maps two group elements (g a ; g b) to g ab. For many groups G this function is assumed to be hard to compute. We generalize this function to the P-Diie-Hellman function (P-DH) that maps two group elements (g a ; g b) to g P (a;b) for a (non-linear) polynomial P in a and b. In this paper we show that computing DH is comput...
