We used in situ hybridization with a probe for the X chromosome to study interphase cells of bone marrow and peripheral blood specimens from a male patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia characterized by hyperdiploidy, including trisomy X. In a posttreatment bone marrow specimen, which was interpreted as a regenerating bone marrow morphologically and which demonstrated a normal karyotype cyt...

The clinical efficacy of evaluating genetic anomalies in metaphase cells versus interphase nuclei for multiple myeloma (MM) is poorly understood. Therefore, survival for 154 patients with newly diagnosed untreated MM was compared with results from analysis of metaphase and interphase cells. Metaphases were studied by conventional cytogenetics and fluorescent-labeled DNA probes (fluorescence in ...

A two-phase model is presented to describe avascular tumour growth. Conservation of mass equations, including oxygen-dependent cell growth and death terms, are coupled with equations of momentum conservation. The cellular phase behaves as a viscous liquid, while the viscosity of the extracellular water manifests itself as an interphase drag. It is assumed that the cells become mechanically stre...

background: different measures of mortality and morbidity statistics is a good tool in determining the health status of a community،the health network development and application of methods of prevention and treatment. basis of mortality data is the death certificate and the most important index in death certificate is accuracy of death causes with who standards and death causes codes in icd10....

Using a modified Giemsa-banding technique we have observed what appear to be chromosomes during interphase in nuclei from Allium cepa root tips and Chinese hamster cells (CHO line). During telophase through G1 chromosomes progressively uncoil and decondense. During S chromosomes are comparatively decondensed, but some segments have structure similar to chromosomes in G1 and G2. During G2 the ch...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization makes possible direct visualization of single sequences not only on chromosomes, but within decondensed interphase nuclei, providing a potentially powerful approach for high-resolution (1 Mb and below) gene mapping and the analysis of nuclear organization. Interphase mapping was able to extend the ability to resolve and order sequences up to two orders of magn...

A 2-day method using flow cytometry and FISH for interphase cells was developed to detect monosomy 7 cells in myelodysplastic syndrome patients. The method, Interphase Chromosome Flow-FISH (IC Flow-FISH), involves fixation of leukocytes from blood, membrane permeabilization, hybridization of cellular DNA with peptide nucleic acid probes with cells intact, and analysis by flow cytometry. Hundred...

evanescent wave spectroscopy using thin optically transparent electrodes and multiple reflections allows unique observations of the electrochemical interphase since the region of solution sampled is typically 100 nm from the electrode in the visible spectral region. this technique is found to be highly sensitive to the presence of absorbing adsorbed species

A major drawback of cancer chemotherapy is the lack of tumor-specific targets which would allow for the selective eradication of malignant cells without affecting healthy tissues. In contrast with normal cells, most tumor cells contain multiple centrosomes, associated with the formation of multipolar mitotic spindles and chromosome segregation defects. Many tumor cells regain mitotic stability ...

Proper organization of microtubule polymers is crucial to the form and function of all eukaryotic cells. Whether growing, dividing or polarizing, different cell types—be they neurons, plant cells or fungal cells—organize specialized microtubule patterns appropriate for their needs. Is it possible to identify the set of factors sufficient to organize microtubules in a specific cell, and to under...
