Children treated for acute leukemia are at increased risk of severe infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV). We studied the VZV sero-status of children with acute leukemia prior to starting chemotherapy and after completion of chemotherapy. VZV sero-status was assessed using time resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) before starting treatment and 6 months after completion of treatment. ...

368 blood and Carcass randomly sampled from slaughtered animals for detection Toxoplasmosis. The blood samples were examined for existence Infection by serological method (Dye test) and the tissue samples from different parts of carcass including skeletal muscle, diaphragm, heart, liver and lymphnode, which ground in an electric grinder and digested by pepsin. Bioassay technique and inoculated...

Robot viewers are an important tool for robot developers, programmers and users. This article presents interactive visual features that can be used for robot viewers, including rotating arrows for torque controlled serial robots and special positioned textfields for numerically displaying joint parameters. The presented features support intuitive interaction modes such that the displayed conten...

Received 02 July 2013 Accepted 12 August 2013 Early online 25 August 2013 Print 31 August 2013 Adenosine deaminase activity (ADA) is a commonly used marker for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). There have been concerns about its usefulness in immune-compromised patients, especially HIV positive patients with very low CD4 counts. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensi...

I. Of the cases in which a sore was present at the time of examination there were : Sore 1 to 10 days old 10 Positive 5 11 to 20 ? 13 ? 9 21 to 30 ? 44 ? 42 Of the two negative cases one was observed for three months and no symptoms appeared. "NY e have thus abundant evidence that the W. R. is of use in clearing up the diagnosis. More especially is this the case when the sore is clinically a so...

To develop the large scale serological assay for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection, we evaluated two different enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods using nucleocapsid protein (NP) and Gn proteins of CB1 (genotype B) SFTSV strains. The NP-based ELISA tests showed more sensitive with broad cross-reactivity between two different genotype A and B strai...

Incidences of major feline viral diseases provide basic information for preventing disease in cats. Despite the growing interest diseases, sero-surveillances have been lacking. In this study, we analyzed diagnoses and conducted a sero surveillance panleukopenia virus (FPV), calicivirus (FCV), herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1), infectious peritonitis (FIPV) Korean Of 204 confirmed cases since 2015, numbers ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between measles virus (MV) antibodies (abs) in sera and breast milk of nursing mothers, their contributions in seroconversion of children (0-9 months) post vaccination, prevalence of prevaccination measles abs in sera of children brought for measles vaccination and seroconversion rate in vaccinees from nursing and lactating mothers. Also to determine the p...

The aim of the present study was to examine changes of cellular homeostasis in regulatory T (Treg) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells by detecting the proportion of Treg and Th17 cells of peripheral blood, as well as the expression of specific transcription factors in these two types of cells, in syphilitic patients with sero-resistance. A total of 49 subjects were enrolled in the study and divided i...
