We measured abundance and surface area of picoand nano-sized organic particles that are stained by 4’6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Dapi), namely Dapi yellow particles. This study was done monthly from April 1999 to March 2000 from surface down to 2000 m at the French-JGOFS time-series station Dyfamed in the NW Mediterranean. Dapi yellow particles were always observed throughout the water column a...

On April 23, 2016, the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (DRC's) Ministry of Health declared a yellow fever outbreak. As of May 24, 2016, approximately 90% of suspected yellow fever cases (n = 459) and deaths (45) were reported in a single province, Kongo Central Province, that borders Angola, where a large yellow fever outbreak had begun in December 2015. Two yellow fever mass vaccination cam...

DNA sequences involved in the control of the developmental and spatial expression of the yellow locus of Drosophila were identified by phenotypic analysis of germline transformants carrying various in vitro modified yellow genes. Two regions, located between -2873 bp and -1868 bp and between -1868 bp and -700 bp, act as tissue-specific enhancers which respectively regulate yellow transcription ...

Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) is popular worldwide because of its gorgeous flower colour, and the yellow flower is the rarest. However, its mechanism of yellow formation is still unexplored from the post-translational level. In this study, the anatomy of the petal, cell sap pH and metal elements were investigated in bicoloured flower cultivar 'Jinhui' with red outer-petal and yell...

Changes in phosphate metabolism were explored in discs from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves of three contrasting types: green leaves which were fully expanded and attached to the plant, leaves which had yellowed following excision and dark starvation, and leaves which had yellowed while attached to the plant. 2,4-Dinitrophenol at 10(-5)m stimulated the respiration rate of discs from green an...

Yellow tea is a traditional Chinese drink widely used in Asia. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of yellow tea and its preventive effect on gastric injury. The antioxidant effects were determined by measuring the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical- and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity. The yellow tea extract demonstrated high antioxidant activity ...

An 80-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with pneumonia and exacerbation of sinobronchial syndrome (SBS). She presented with yellow discoloration of the nail beds of all fingers and toes, and her nails were recognized as growing slowly. Chest X-ray revealed bronchiectasis in the bilateral lower lobe and bilateral pleural effusion. We diagnosed her as having yellow nail syndrome (YNS), ...

BACKGROUND Calcification of the yellow ligament sometimes compresses the spinal cord and can induce myelopathy. Usually, the calcification does not induce acute neck pain. We report a case of a patient with acute neck pain caused by calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate in a calcified cervical yellow ligament. CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old Japanese woman presented with acute neck pain. She had a ...
