this study aims at exploring an effective route in the in situ graft polymerization of aniline from fe3o4 nanoparticles. to this goal, fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation method using ammonia solution as the precipitating agent, and were characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem)....

purpose : to describe a case of successful laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) retreatment over a previous lasik surgery after 11 years case report : the patient had his first lasik for the correction of -2.25 -1.75×90° and -2.25 -1.00×90° in the right and left eye, respectively. eleven years later, the refraction in the right eye was plano -3.25×80° and he was scheduled for an enhancement pro...

purpose: to report occurrence, management, and outcome of late-onset traumatic dislocation of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) flaps case report: we report a patient with late-onset lasik corneal flap dislocation after blunt ocular trauma occurring four years after surgery. an ultrasound biomicroscopy (ubm) was performed to view the status of flap and determination of flap thickness. result...

Eighteen patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were investigated using spectral karyotyping (SKY), and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) banding analyses. SKY analysis confirmed previous results in patients with G-banded diploid karyotype. Nevertheless in three out of five patients with two or more chromosomal abnormalities, SKY and multicolor banding methods refin...

We show that the geophilomorph centipede Strigamia maritima possesses an XX/XY system of sex chromosomes, with males being the heterogametic sex. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of sex chromosomes in any geophilomorph centipede. Using the recently assembled Strigamia genome sequence, we identified a set of scaffolds differentially represented in male and female DNA sequence. Using q...

The assorted circumstances characterized by malfunctioning in cognition, communication or motor skills lead to abnormal development of the central nervous system (CNS) in young infants. These conditions are collectively termed as neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and are usually diagnosed during childhood or infancy. NDDs occur as frequent as 1-3% in the general population and their diagnosti...

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system is a useful tool for genome editing. In this study, using a microinjection-based CRISPR/Cas9 system, we efficiently generated mouse lines carrying mutations at the Irx3 and Irx5 loci, which are located in close proximity on a chromosome and are functionally redundant. During the gener...

Chromosome bar codes are multicolor banding patterns produced by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with differentially labeled and pooled sub-regional DNA probes. These molecular cytogenetic tools facilitate chromosome identification and the delineation of both inter- and intra-chromosomal rearrangements. We present an overview of the various conceptual approaches which can be largely d...

Major aneuploidies diagnosed prenatally involve the autosomes 13, 18, and 21, and sex chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) allows rapid analysis of chromosome copy number in interphase cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization in simultaneous detection of probe sets for chromosome 18, X, and Y in uncultured amnio...
