How partial C7 deficiency with chronic and recurrent bacterial infections can mimic total C7 deficiency: temporary restoration of host C7 levels following plasma transfusion

Two Novel Mutations in the C7 gene in a Korean Patient with Complement C7 Deficiency

Complement C7 deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder well known to be associated with increased susceptibility to meningococcal infection and has mostly been reported in Caucasians. In the Korean population, no case of C7 deficiency has been reported to date. Recently we experienced an 11-yr-old girl with meningococcal meningitis who was diagnosed as having C7 deficiency based upon the u...

Hereditary C7 deficiency. Diagnosis and HLA studies in a French-Canadian family.

The serum of a 44-yr-old woman of French-Canadian descent having a B-27 positive ankylosing spondylitis was deficient in the seventh component of complement (C7) as determined by hemolytic and immunochemical methods. No inhibitor against C7 was detected, and the levels of all other complement components were normal. No deficiency in the opsonic activity of the serum was found, and the results o...

The Incidence of Bifid C7 Spinous Processes

For posterior cervical surgery, if the operation only involves the lower cervical area, counting from C2 is impractical and the level may not be visible on X-rays. In such cases, we usually place a marker at the top of the incision and also rely on the size and monofid shape of the C7 spinous process. Relying on the C7 morphology, however, we initially instrumented the wrong levels in a case wh...

R(C6, K5) = 21andR(C7, K5) = 25

R(C4, K4) = 10 (see [2]) R(C4, K5) = 14 (see [3]) R(C5, K4) = 13, R(C5, K5) = 17 (see [5, 6]) R(Cn, K3) = 2n − 1 (n > 3) (see [4, 7]). In [10], we proved that R(Cn, K4) = 3(n − 1) + 1 (n ≥ 4). In this paper, we will prove that R(Cn, K5) = 4(n − 1)+ 1 (n = 6, 7). The following notations will be used in this paper. If G is a graph, the vertex set (resp. edge set) of G is denoted by V (G) (resp. E...
