The lung has a unique structure consisting of three functionally different compartments (alveolar, interstitial, and vascular) situated in an extreme proximity. Current methods to localize lung leukocytes using bronchoalveolar lavage and/or lung perfusion have significant limitations for determination of location and phenotype of leukocytes. Here we present a novel method using in vivo antibody...

Spontaneous, localized, rhythmic ryanodine receptor (RyRs) Ca(2+) releases occur beneath the cell membrane during late diastolic depolarization in cardiac sinoatrial nodal cells (SANCs). These activate the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) to generate inward current and membrane excitation that drives normal spontaneous beating. The morphological background for the proposed functional of RyR and NC...

An in vitro study of proliferative activity as shown by immunohistochemical detection of the uptake of bromodeoxyuridine was run on rectal biopsies from 400 patients with nonfamilial large bowel neoplasia: 200 adenoma; 150 adenocarcinoma; 50 adenoma plus adenocarcinoma. The controls were 400 subjects with negative personal and family histories of colorectal neoplasia. The number and height dist...

Let N0 denote the set of all non-negative integers and X be any subset of X. Also denote the power set of X by P(X). An integer additive set-labeling (IASL) of a graph G is an injective function f : V (G) ! P(X) such that the induced function f+ : E(G) ! P(X) is defined by f+(uv) = f(u) + f(v), where f(u) + f(v) is the sumset of f(u) and f(v). An IASL f is said to be a topological IASL (Top-IAS...

D iagnosis has been considered a process of “labeling” with consequences that can be both positive (access to treatment) and negative (social rejection). The ultimate goal of making a diagnosis is to adequately inform the patient, thereby enhancing knowledge of the disorder, adherence to therapeutic advice, and the ability to manage illness effectively. Impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes a...

Given a graph G and a positive integer d, an L(d; 1)-labeling of G is a function f that assigns to each vertex of G a non-negative integer such that if two vertices u and v are adjacent, then |f(u)− f(v)|¿d; if u and v are not adjacent but there is a two-edge path between them, then |f(u)−f(v)|¿1. The L(d; 1)-number of G, d(G), is de ned as the minimum m such that there is an L(d; 1)-labeling f...

This study considers the welfare impact of labeling policies of agricultural commodities with speci6c characteristics. Using a model of vertical differentiation, the effects on equilibrium and welfare levels are calculated. The introduction of the regulation and the emergence of two differentiated competitive markets leaves consumers and high-quality producers better off, while low-quality prod...

Objectives: To examine rooted products graph and corona product of path with itself cycle for the existence d-lucky labeling. Methods: In this study, number Rooted to (Pn ◦ Pn) Corona (Pn⊙ are computed. Method construction is used throughout paper prove theorems. Findings: admit labeling numbers same obtained. Novelty: some graphs obtained by authors but new findings. Keywords: Proper Lucky lab...

The renal urea transporter gene (UT-A) produces different transcripts in the inner medullary collecting ducts (UT-A1) and thin descending limbs of Henle's loop (UT-A2), coding for distinct proteins. Peptide-directed rabbit polyclonal antibodies were used to identify the UT-A2 protein in renal medulla of mouse and rat. In the inner stripe of outer medulla, an antibody directed to the COOH termin...

We have previously shown the presence of H-2K and D antigens of both parental haplotypes on dispersed murine trophoblast cells. The question still remained whether such antigens are sequestered away from the sinusoidal face of these cells making them inert as allografts. The in vivo expression of H-2 antigens on these cells was therefore examined radioautographically after perfusion of 125I-lab...
