n our laboratory in 4CS mice. (3) Mouse ascites hepatoma, MH134, was converted into ascitic form by Sato et al.*\ from a C3H/HeN mouse hapatoma induced after treatment with carbon tetrachloride by Andervont et al.5) It has been maintained in C3H/He mice with distinct strain specificity in tumor take in our laboratory. (4) Mouse ascites sarcoma, SR-C3H/He Th62, was originally induced with Schmid...

A case of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease in a male infant who died at the age of 3 months is presented. Both intra- and extrapulmonary veins were involved. Two years earlier a brother had died of the same disease at the age of 8 weeks, but, in that case, the disease was restricted to the intrapulmonary veins. It is suggested that the disease may have been caused by a viral infection, the moth...

PPROXIMATELY ONE ]fl every 100 to 200 persons who receive transfusions of whole blood subsequently become ill of viral hepatitis. When plasma is administered, the incidence of viral hepatitis has been reported to be as high as one in every 5 transfusions, although the usual rate is much lower than this. Since blood for transfusion is collected only from donors who appear to be in good health, i...

In present study, using Least Squares (LS) method, we determine the position smoothing in GPS single-frequency receiver by means of pseudo-range and carrier phase measurements. The application of pseudo-range or carrier phase measurements in GPS receiver positioning separately can lead to defects. By means of pseudo-range data, we have position with less precision and more distortion. By use of...

background more than two billion people have been exposed to hepatitis b virus (hbv) worldwide. furthermore, four hundred million of them are infected with chronic hbv infection. the predominant mutation of the precore region involves a g to a change at nucleotide1896, which creates a premature stop codon at codon 28. two mutations of a1762t and g1764a are reported as the most prevalent mutatio...

background: serial measurement of  hepatitis b virus (hbv) dna levels in the liver and its relation with liver damage and serum hbv dna levels are guide to begin and/or end a treatment course. this study evaluated the relationship between liver hepatitis b dna viral load with liver histology in patients with chronic hepatitis b (hbv). methods:  thirty patients with chronic anti-hbe positive hep...

background: viral load and alanine aminotransferase (alt) levels may not be the key points for making a decision in the treatment of anti-hbe positive chronic hepatitis b. the purpose of this study was to assess the histological evaluation of liver to find the need for treatment on 72 patients with anti-hbe positive chronic hepatitis b. methods: the liver biopsy slides of the 72 patients (56 su...

background diagnosis and control programs for infectious diseases among immigrants are the most important aspects of epidemiological studies for both origin and destination countries. data about hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection among the afghan immigrants in iran is limited. objectives to the best of hbv treatment and prevention in afghan immigrants in iran, the present study was conducted to ...

In this paper, a 7-level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter (DCMLI) is simulated with three different carrier PWM techniques. Here, Carrier based Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM), Third Harmonic Injected Pulse Width Modulation (THIPWM) and Modified Carrier-Based Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) are used as modulation strategies. These modulation strategies include Phase Dispos...

Enterovirus infection and persistence have been implicated in the pathogenesis of certain chronic muscle diseases. In vitro studies suggest that persistent enteroviruses mutate, evolving into forms that are less lytic and display altered tropism, but it is less clear whether these mechanisms operate in vivo. In this study, persistent coxsackievirus RNA from the muscle of mice afflicted with chr...
