The current residue definition (RD) of prochloraz (sum) calls for the use of procedures involving a hydrolysis step to release the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) moiety. This moiety is contained in prochloraz as well as in several of its known metabolites. Analytical procedures involving hydrolysis are typically cumbersome and in most cases the benefit from conducting them does not justify the eff...

According to the 'good genes' hypothesis, sexual ornaments provide an indication of the 'quality' of the bearer. In roach, Rutilus rutilus, breeding tubercles (BTs) may signal resistance against the digenean parasite, Rhipidocotyle campanula. Life history theory predicts that there should be a trade-off between parasite resistance and other life history traits. In roach, this could imply a trad...

13C-phenylalanine (PheBT) and 13C-galactose breath tests (GBT) explore non invasively the hepatic functional mass by measuring two enzymatic activities localized into the cytosol of liver cells: the phenylalanine hydroxylase (which converts phenylalanine into tyrosine) and the galactose kinase (which catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of galactose to galactose 1-phosphate). Both BTs ar...

Initially considered to be of natural killer (NK)-cell origin, CD4+ CD56+ blastic tumors (BTs) of skin have recently been proposed to be of dendritic cell lineage. We have previously described BTs with transformation to myelomonocytic leukemia. Here we report expression of the lymphoid proto-oncogene TCL1 in 10 (83%) of 12 BTs and in lymph node plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DC2s). TCL1 was also...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of infusing whole dead semen (WDS) after AI with diluted commercial semen on uterine inflammatory reaction and embryonic survival rate in gilts. Sixty Yorkshire-Landrace gilts were assigned at their second estrus to one of the following AI treatments: 1) commercial semen adjusted to 1 x 10(9) sperm cells (S1) per dose, followed by an inf...

Abstract Background There is controversy regarding the efficacy of different treatment strategies for acute left malignant colonic obstruction. This study investigated 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free (DFS) several Methods We searched articles published in PubMed, Embase (Ovid), MEDLINE Web Science, Cochrane Library between January 1, 2000, July 2020. screened out literature compar...

BACKGROUND Systemic corticosteroids and inhaled beta(2) agonists are accepted first line treatments for acute severe asthma, but there is no consensus on their optimum dosage and frequency of administration. American regimens include higher initial dosages of beta(2) agonists and corticosteroids than UK regimens. METHODS In a prospective, pragmatic, randomised, parallel group study, 170 patie...

CICS Transaction Server 1.3 includes a significant set of new APIs under the umbrella title of CICS Business Transaction Services (CICS BTS). The aim of this set of APIs is to ease the development and deployment of complex, multi-transaction applications in the mainframe CICS environment. The APIs enable the explicit management of the collection of individual CICS transactions that implement an...

It is shown that explicit Bäcklund transformations (BTs) for the high-order constrained flows of soliton hierarchy can be constructed via their Darboux transformations and Lax representation, and these BTs are canonical transformations including Bäcklund parameter η and possess a spectrality property with respect to η and the ’conjugated’ variable μ for which the pair (η, μ) lies on the spectra...
