INTRODUCTION We have reported that a developed lower-positioned transverse ligament between the superior-medial orbital rim and the lateral orbital rim on the lateral horn in the lower orbital fat space antagonizes eyelid opening and folding in certain Japanese to produce narrow eye, no visible superior palpebral crease, and full eyelid. In this study, we confirmed relationship between developm...

The fine structure of the metamorphosing abdominal nerve cord of Manduca sexta has been studied. In fifth instar larvae, the connectives are ensheathed by a complex, thickened neural lamella. The underlying perineurium at this stage consists of 2 layers. The outer layer consists of interdigitating type I cells which are attached to the overlying neural lamella by hemidesmosomes, and to each oth...

PURPOSE To report the predictability of a nomogram for ultrathin donor lamella creation for Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with an automated microkeratome. SETTING Instituto de Oftalmología La Arruzafa, Córdoba, Spain. DESIGN Prospective nonrandomized consecutive case series. METHODS This study enrolled eyes of consecutive patients in which DSAEK was perform...

porokeratosis with calcipotriol Editor, Disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) is the most common type of porokeratosis. It is related to sun exposure and an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern is recognized. No ideal treatment of this clonal disorder of keratinization exists. We describe a patient in whom the complete resolution of lesions was achieved with topical treatment ...

This paper presents timber lamella structures applied to the circular cylinder surface when all lamellae axes intersect at nodes. To achieve uniformity of elements in this structure, geometry structure must be carefully designed. The main methods for research are graphical and numerical geometric design a prototype construction specific pattern. discussed their ease replication, as well possibi...

the need of aquarists for proper and safe disinfection of fish with chloramine-t (cl-t) necessitates toxico/pathologic examinations.   this study assays toxicity level of cl-t and histopathologic changes of gills, liver, kidney and brain of treated zebrafish (danio rerio). groups of 10 zebrafish were treated with 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, 30, 50,100 and 200 mg/l of cl– t. mortality was recorded a...

Ever since Gudernatsch (191. 3, 1914) proved that the mammalian thyroid gland contains an “ugerz~” which nil1 hasten metamorphosis when fed to amphibian larvae, biologists have been invtrstigating thcl mechanisms whereby the thyroid participates in controlling vertebrate development. Reviews by Allen ( 1938), Lynn and \I’achowski ( 1951 ), Etkin (1955), and Kollros (1959) should 1~ consulted fo...

Calcium-45 was injected into the dense albumen of fertile hen's eggs, to the extent of 25 microc. per egg. The eggs were incubated under standard conditions and three or more embryos removed daily and fixed in 10 per cent neutral formalin. Stripping-film autoradiograms were prepared from paraffin sections of the tibiofibulae. Exposure varied with the isotope concentration. The tissue sections w...

Pectic substances have generally been thought to be the principal binding agents between plant cells (12). These pectins are considered to be largely pectic acid because the middle lamella stains with ruthenium red (8). Ginzberg (7) considers that protein and metals are also important binding agents between the cells of the root tip of Alaska pea seedlings. There is, however, a need for further...
