OBJECTIVE GH-producing pituitary adenomas display two distinct morphological patterns of cytoplasmic GH-containing secretory granules, namely the densely and sparsely granulated somatotroph adenoma subtype. It is unknown whether these morphological variants reflect distinct pathophysiological entities at the molecular level. METHODS In 28 GH-producing adenoma tissues from a consecutive set of...

Heavier and faster trains have motivated researchers to seek better ways absorb the increasing amount of energy imparted rail foundations mitigate track deterioration. In recent years, resilient rubber products attracted more attention due high level damping associated absorbing capacity rubber. However, because granules lower shear strength higher compressibility compared with natural rock agg...

6 Granulated sugar provides an excellent topical dressing for treating open wounds, especially those wounds that are contaminated. Advantages of using sugar include its rapid antibacterial action, enhanced tissue formation and epithelialization, and accelerated wound healing; it is also readily available and inexpensive. The use of finely powdered sugar to clean wounds was first reported by Scu...

In developing country like India due to the remarkable development in road infrastructure, Soil stabilization has become the major issue in construction activity. Stabilization is an unavoidable for the purpose of highway and runway construction, stabilization denotes improvement in both strength and durability which are related to performance. Stabilization is a method of processing available ...

The studies on removal of Vanadium were conducted using Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) in combination with Chelating agents. Ethylene di-amine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA) and Nitrilo Tri Acetic Acid (NTA) at 25oC. The adsorption Efficiency was studied in the pH range of 2-8. The results reveals that Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms are followed during adsorption process with the chelating agen...

The adsorption of toluene from aqueous solution using waste tyre rubber granules (WTRG) was investigated in a batch system. The effect of various factors such as contact time, amount of adsorbent, size of adsorbent particles, and temperature of solution on the adsorption capacity of WTRG was determined. The equilibrium contact time was obtained to be 30 minutes indicating fast adsorption. The a...

Combination of a histochemical fluorescence method for biogem'c monoamines and staining of juxtaglomerular cell granules demonstrated sympathetic nerve terminals in the rat kidney in the walls of the parts of the juxtaglomerular arterioles that contain granulated cells. This forms a morphological basis for a direct influence of sympathetic nervous activity on the liberation of renin. The juxtag...

The compound Mg 2 FeH 6 was synthesized from a 2Mg-Fe mixture in a single process through high-energy ball milling under hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The complex hydride was prepared from Mg powder and granulated or powdered Fe using a planetary mill. The phase evolution during different milling times was performed by X-rays diffraction technique. The dehydrogenation behavior of the...

Electron microscopy of the vertical lobe of octopus brain shows that the synaptic knobs of axons with penkarya in the median superior frontal lobe have synaptic vesicles, approximately 28 % of which are dense-cored (or granulated). In contrast, the endings of the amaenne neurons in the vertical lobe and the endings in the retina and optic lobe, both of which are derived from the retinal visual ...
