Functional analysis of erythrocyte determinants of Plasmodium infection.
The Plasmodium falciparum parasite is an obligate intracellular pathogen whose invasion and remodelling of the human erythrocyte results in the clinical manifestations of malarial disease. The functional analysis of erythrocyte determinants of invasion and growth is a relatively unexplored frontier in malaria research, encompassing studies of natural variation of the erythrocyte, as well as gen...
متن کاملDeterminants of erythrocyte size in chronic liver disease.
E RYTHROCYTE MACROCYTOSIS has been observed commonly in association with chronic liver disease; estimates of its frequency vary from 37 to 75 per cent.1'2 That the large erythrocytes, as seen on blood films, are a heterogeneous group was recognized by Bingham, who distinguished three types: " thick macrocytes, " " thin macrocytes " and " target macrocytes. " 3 His observations suggested that " ...

Throughout the world, large numbers of manual workers perform physically demanding labour in conditions of high environmental heat stress. Although the importance of adequate hydration in combating heat stress is universally recognized, studies in a range of worker groups have demonstrated a disturbingly poor hydration level in a high proportion of at-risk workers. Management of work in hot env...
متن کاملFlickering analysis of erythrocyte mechanical properties: dependence on oxygenation level, cell shape, and hydration level.
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) play an essential role in the respiratory functions of vertebrates, carrying oxygen from lungs to tissues and CO(2) from tissues to lungs. They are mechanically very soft, enabling circulation through small capillaries. The small thermally induced displacements of the membrane provide an important tool in the investigation of the mechanics of the cell membrane. Ho...
متن کاملModeling of the hydration shell of Adenine
The molecular geometry of complex of adenine with 8 water molecules was calculated with Hartree-Fock (HF). The standard 6-31G(d) basis set has been employed. The existence of C-H…O Hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the hydrophobic part of nucleobase is stablished. We optimized structures and computed interaction energies of all complexes of adenine with water molecules step by step...
