Coatings of the Mg(OH)2/Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) composite were formed by a combined co-precipitation method and hydrothermal process on the AZ31 alloy substrate in alkaline condition. Subsequently, a superhydrophobic surface was successfully constructed to modify the composite coatings on the AZ31 alloy substrate using stearic acid. The characteristics of the composite coatings wer...

By W. H. STARKWEATHER, H. H. SPENCER AND H. K. ScriocH M AMMALIAN LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE ( LDH ) can be separated into five active fractions.’4 The production of electrophoretic extremes, LDH-1 (H4 ) and LDH-5 ( M4 ), is controlled by the action of two genes.5’#{176}The intermediate fractions ( LDH-2, LDH-3, LDH-4 ) are considered hybrid forms of LDH-1 and LDH-5.5’” Assuming that the hybrids are...

Expression of the Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) genes during various stages of spermatogenesis was studied by using a combination of Northern blot analyses and in situ hybridization techniques. These studies have indicated that developmentally programmed expression of all three functional LDH genes occurs during differentiation of germ cells. The LDH/C (ldh-3) gene was expressed exclusively durin...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a common disease with a high mortality rate that is difficult to diagnose and treat. Because of the variety of clinical symptoms and signs, it is difficult to diagnose. Therefore, the diagnosis of PTE is mainly confirmed by imaging techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is any corelation of the Wells rule, D-dimer and LDH va...

OBJECTIVE Today, minimally invasive procedures have become mainstream surgical procedures. Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) requires profound knowledge of the laparoscopic anatomy. Immersive virtual reality (VR) provides three-dimensional patient-specific models to help in process preclinical preparation. In this study, authors investigated effi...
