this study was conducted in 2008 at the research field of university of tehran, karaj. the experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments were: atrazine 1kg/ha, alachlor 4kg/ha, atrazine+alachlor (1+4) kg/ha, nicosulfuron 80 g ai/ha, furamsulfuron 45g ai/ha, rimsulfuron 25g ai/ha, nicosulfuron+furamsulfuron (80+45) g ai/ha, nicosulfuron+rimsulf...

OBJECTIVES Intraperitoneal (IP) injection of 3.5 g/kg L-arginine (known to induce acute pancreatitis) in rats will result in much greater increases in serum ornithine versus citrulline concentration (Crit Care Med. 2008;36:2117-2127). These data indicate a major role of arginase in the catabolism of L-arginine. Therefore, we tested the effects of the irreversible arginase inhibitor (+)-S-2-amin...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has been associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and classical Hodgkin lymphoma, but to the best of our knowledge, the association of AIHA and nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) has not been reported previously. A 20-year-old woman presented with conjunctival jaundice, fever, asthenia, and hemoglobin 9.2 g/dL re...

Herbicides are usually applied multiple times by growers for season long weed control in Florida citrus (Citrus sp.). Rimsulfuron, a sulfonylurea herbicide has been recently registered for control of certain grasses and broadleaf weeds in citrus. To increase the weed control spectrum and reduce application cost, citrus growers often prefer to tank mix herbicides. Field experiments were conducte...

A Section 3 registration is being requested for ShadeoutJ which contains the herbicide, rimsulfuron. This registration is for a new use of rimsulfuron to control weeds in tomato fields. The proposed tolerance for rimsulfuron on tomatoes is 0.1 ppm. The critical acute No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) was 500 mg/kg/day based on a ruffled fur and transient weight losses in rats after a single expos...

Between 10% and 25% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients have episodes of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) during the course of their disease. The anti-erythrocyte autoantibodies in most cases are polyclonal and express a different heavy chain isotype than the malignant clone, indicating that they are secreted by normal autoreactive B lymphocytes. To further investigate the pathogen...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is characterized by shortened red cell survival due to the presence of autoantibodies directed against antigens on the red blood cell membrane. Corticosteroids and rarely intravenous immunoglobulin G are used in the treatment of AIHA. We report a six-month-old boy with severe AIHA who initially responded to high dose methylprednisolone (HDMP) and intravenous i...
