This study compares urban landscapes in the Portland and Los Angeles metropolitan areas at the neighborhood level by operationalizing six smart growth indices and mapping their spatial distribution patterns and time trends. Analysis results show that the two metropolitan areas have both strengths and weaknesses in different aspects of smart growth. Most neighborhoods in both regions do not exce...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Intravenous iron is a key component of anemia management for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Ferumoxytol is a unique intravenous iron product that can be administered as a rapid injection in doses up to 510 mg. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS This was a randomized, open-label, controlled, multicenter Phase 3 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of in...

Background: Considerable evidence suggests that oxidative stress affects diabetes mellitus (DM) and contributes to its complications. Vitamin D has been shown to possess antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to determine the association between serum levels of calcifediol (25-OH-D), an indicator of vitamin D status, and lipid profiles with oxidative stress in patients with type 2 di...

OBJECTIVES The clinical analysis of hemoglobin by ion exchange chromatography can result in ambiguities in identification of the nature of the globin chain present in patient samples. LC/ESI-MS provides rapid and precise determination of globin chain masses. DESIGN AND METHODS Hemolysate of hemoglobin Q-India and hemoglobin S/D/F have been analyzed using ESI-MS. Tandem-MS has been used to est...

The physicochemical and biochemical properties of hemoglobin associated with haptoglobin were compared with those of hemoglobin bour,d by antihemoglobin antibody. The mechanism of enhanced peroxidase activity of hemoglobin bound by haptoglobin was concluded not to be activation but stabilization of hemoglobin at acidic pH by haptoglobin. Haptoglobin protects hemoglobin from denaturation by acid...

Hemoglobin (Hb) merupakan komponen penting yang terdapat dalam darah digunakan sebagai parameter untuk menentukan prevalensi anemia. Fungsi utama hemoglobin yaitu membawa gas hasil respirasi ke seluruh bagian tubuh. Ketika jumlah sel merah atau mengalami penurunan, maka kondisi tersebut dinamakan Tujuannya mengetahui Hubungan Lamanya Menstruasi Dengan Kadar Pada Mahasiswi D-III Teknologi Labora...

A genomic fragment containing the hemoglobin gene dmhb4 of Daphnia magna was cloned and its nucleotide sequence determined. Concerning induction under hypoxic conditions, dmhb4 was found to be expressed constitutively with similar mRNA quantities in D. magna bred in either normoxic or hypoxic medium. Southern blot analysis revealed at least six hemoglobin-like sequences in the genome of Daphnia...

We demonstrate that stimulated parametric emission (SPE) microscopy enables label-free, 3-D visualization of internal hemoglobin distribution of live mouse and chicken erythrocytes with high sensitivity. Change in hemoglobin distribution in chicken erythrocytes before and after ethanol fixation is clearly visualized.

Previous studies point to the acidic amino-terminal segment of band 3, the anion transport protein of the red cell, as the common binding site for hemoglobin and several of the glycolytic enzymes to the erythrocyte membrane. We now report on the interaction of hemoglobin with the synthetic peptide AcM-E-E-L-Q-D-D-Y-E-D-E, corresponding to the first 11 residues of band 3, and with the entire 43,...
