The proliferative characteristics of myeloid leukemias were defined in vivo after intravenous infusions of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in 40 patients. The percentage of S-phase cells obtained from the biopsies (mean, 20%) were significantly higher (P = .00003) than those determined from the bone marrow (BM) aspirates (mean, 9%). The post-BrdU infusion BM aspirates from 40 patients were incubated w...

introduction: the morphology and ultrastructure of germinal epithelum basement memberane (bm) in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia was studied by means of transmision electron microscipy. materials and methods: 10 biopsies of testis tissue from patients with non-obstructive azoospermia referred to royan institute as patients group and 5 biopsies from patients with prostatic cancer as co...

Presentations are becoming an increasingly more common means of communication in working environments, and slides are often the necessary supporting material on which the presentations rely. In this paper, we describe a slide indexing and retrieval system in which the slides are captured as images (through a framegrabber) at the moment they are displayed during a presentation and then transcrib...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) may enhance blood vessel formation in a variety of clinical settings such as ischaemia and tumour angiogenesis as well as in tissue-engineered matrices. In the present study, we cultured a murine endothelial progenitor cell line, T17b, in vitro in cell culture as well as in an FDA-approved fibrin matrix and investigated cell proliferation, differentiation and ...

In this paper by using the notiαon of anti fuzzy points and its besideness to andnon-quasi-coincidence with a fuzzy set the concepts of an anti fuzzy subalgebrasin BM-algebras are generalized and their inter-relations and related propertiesare investigated.

An automated rare event detection system (Rare Event Imaging System) is described for the recognition of cancer cells that appear at low frequencies (1 in 1 million) in peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow (BM). The instrumentation includes an automated fluorescence microscope (Nikon Microphot-FXA) with a cooled charge coupled device camera and a 60-MHz Pentium personal computer. Main features ...

Myelofibrosis (MF) may develop in all types of myeloproliferative disorders and its identification is of clinical relevance. Typical bone marrow (BM) morphology of patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) shows either "normal" amount or "a slight increase" of reticulin fibers, but the published data differ in relation to the applied MF definition and ET diagnostic criterias. The aim of this...

To investigate the ulcer protective and antisecretory properties of the methanolic extract of Butea monosperma (BM) bark with relation to antioxidant studies. The study was done on male albino rats.   Gastric ulcers were induced by Aspirin, Alcohol and Pylorous ligation. Lansoprazole was used as the standard drug for comparison. The free radical scavenging potential of the bark of BM ...
