The adenocarcinoma cell line HSG from human salivary gland, which proliferates in vitro or in nude mice, was examined by the immunoperoxidase method for the expression of three different types of intermediate-sized filaments (IPs) and of specific anti gens such as carcinoembryonic antigen, S-100 protein, secretory component, lactoferrin, myosin, tropomyosin, and actin. The cultured HSG cells we...

To determine the effects of cobalt chloride on human submandibular gland cells, HSG cells were exposed to various concentrations of cobalt chloride. Cobalt chloride induced cytotoxicity and cell death in HSG cells as determined by phase-contrast microscopy and WST-1 cell viability assay. By using the Hoechst 33342 staining, marked nuclear condensation and fragmentation of chromatin were observe...

 ABSTRACT Background and Objective: To assess the diagnostic value of hysterosalpingography (HSG) in the evaluation of the uterine cavity in recurrent aborters in comparison to hysteroscopy as the gold standard of diagnosis. Methods: 58 reproductive age women, all with habitual abortion (3 consecutive abortions), were examined by both HSG and hysteroscopy. Results: The overall sensitivity and s...

Acupuncture is an important method of treatment in Chinese medicine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture as an adjuvant treatment for unexplained infertility. Here we conducted a prospective study, with data consisting of acupuncture group (38 cases) and control group (42 cases). Infertility evaluation workup consisted of semen analysis, ovulation assessment,...

Background: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is one of the imaging modality used in evaluating females presenting with complaints infertility. Infertility not just issue couples alone both extended family involved typical African environment, therefore it essential to identify possible causes and proffer solutions where possible.
 Aim: This study aimed at documenting indications findings among ...

ABSTRACT Background: Pain is the most common side effect of hysterosalpingography (HSG) and partly arises from vulsellum placement on cervix cervical traction. Objective: To study conducting HSG without grasping with forceps time taken to complete procedure, pain experienced by participants diagnostic quality images produced.Materials Methods: A randomized controlled trial 64 consenting adult w...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the accuracy of hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) in establishing tubal patency or blockage and evaluating the uterine cavity by comparing it with hysteroscopy laparoscopy (HLC) or hysterosalpingography (HSG). STUDY DESIGN This study was a chart review evaluating infertility patients and patients who had undergone hysteroscopic ste...

We show that for the blackbox polynomial identity testing (PIT) problem it suffices to study circuits that depend only on the first extremely few variables. One only need to consider size-s degree-s circuits that depend on the first log◦c s variables (where c is a constant and we are composing c logarithms). Thus, hitting-set generator (hsg) manifests a bootstrapping behavior— a partial hsg aga...
