The development of exchange transfusion has greatly altered the prognosis of haemolytic disease of the newborn and the procedure is now accepted as being essential in cases of any severity. It is carried out wherever the criteria for operation are fulfilled and by operators of varying skill and experience. The difficulties associated with blood transfusion have received increasing attention in ...

For this article, we explore a hypothesis involving the possible role of reduction/oxidation (redox) state in cancer. We hypothesize that many modifications in cellular macromolecules, observed in cancer progression, may be caused by redox imbalance. Recent biochemical data suggest that human prostate cancer cell lines show a redox imbalance (oxidizing) compared with benign primary prostate epi...

seed storage proteins are synthesized as sources of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur for the next generation of plants. reactive oxygen species serve as second messengers for signal transduction; however, molecular targets of oxidant signaling have not been defined. here, many researchers showes that ligand–receptor mediated signaling promotes reactive oxygen species– dependent protein carbonylation...

to evaluate morphological and biochemical changes of almond (prunus dulcis mill.) under salt stress conditions and determine relationship among accumulation of na and cl with these traits, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design with four treatments including 0 (control), 25, 50 and 75 mm of pure sodium chloride and three replications from 2010 to 2012. the seed of hea...

The present investigation was undertaken to determine the biochemical changes associated with flower development during the flowering season in the potted carnation cultivars of ‘Lilac on purple’ and ‘Pink’. Ethylene production and the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content of the flowers were observed to increase up to stage 5 (during the five stage of flow...
