Larval dorsoventral (DV) and left-right (LR) axial patterning unfold progressively in sea urchin development, leading to commitment of the major embryonic regions by the gastrula stage. The direct-developing sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma has lost oral-aboral differentiation along the DV axis but has accelerated vestibular ectoderm development on the left side. NiCl(2) radializes indirec...

introduction: level of mothers’ literacy, pregnancy history of more than four times, residence in villages, lack of receiving intensive care during pregnancy, as well as inaccessibility to obstetric emergency services have been reported, in iran and the world, as major factors for maternal mortality. considering significance of identifying indirect causes of maternal mortalities, the present st...

BACKGROUND Atrazine (ATZ) is a widely used herbicide in most countries because of its low cost and good selectivity. The concentration of ATZ that the EPA considers safe to consume in drinking water is 3 ppb. Therefore, recently, there have been concerns about its determination in trace levels. This compound is not electro-active, so in this research indirect electrochemical method for its dete...

OBJECTIVE To determine positivity and clinical correlation of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), taking into account the interference of antinuclear antibodies (ANA). MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted in the Laboratory of Immunology of the National Cuban Center of Medical Genetic during one year. Two hounded sixty-seven patients with indication for ANCA determ...

Urea in biological fluids has been determined by a variety of direct and indirect procedures. Some indirect methods depend on the hydrolysis of urea with the enzyme urease to form ammonia, with subsequent quantitation of the ammonia by nesslerization (1-4). Undesirable features of these indirect methods are the use of relatively unstable reagents and loss of ammonia during the procedure. Direct...

(III) from (I) and of 21-norpregnan-20-als (IV) from (II) (Brooks & Norymberski, 1953). The last conversion was presumed; it is now established by the isolation of 3,-hydroxy-21-norpregn-5-en-20-al (VI) (as its acetate) from the reaction of pregn-5ene-3f:20fl:21-triol (V) with sodium bismuthate. Reduction with borohydride followed by oxidation with sodium bismuthate was expected to convert 20:2...

The method is based on the separation of Tl(I) as Tl(2)HPMo(12)O(40), stripping of the molybdate, and measurement of the peak current in differential-pulse polarography of the molybdenum. The calibration graph is linear over the range 2-12 ppm of thallium. The relative standard deviation is 1.2% (7 replicates each containing 500 microg of thallium). The current due to reduction of the molybdenu...
