OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation of total lymphocyte count (TLC) and CD4 cell count and the suitability of TLC as a surrogate marker for CD4 cell count of HIV-infected patients in China. METHODS Usefulness of TLC as a surrogate marker for a CD4 cell count <350 cells/mm(3) for HIV-positive patients in China was evaluated by 977 pairs of TLC and CD4 cell count from 977 outpatients. The res...

INTRODUCTION Total Lymphocyte Count (TLC) has been found to be an inexpensive and useful marker for staging disease, predicting progression to AIDS and death and monitoring response to ART. However, the correlation between TLC and CD4 has not been consistent. Access to HAART is expanding in Kampala, Uganda, yet there are no published data evaluating the utility of TLC as inexpensive surrogate m...

background and objectives: attenuated total reflectance-inferared (atr-ir) spectra can be used as a non-invasive fingerprinting approach in quality control of herbal samples. methods: twenty versatile herbal samples were subjected to attenuated total reflectance-inferared (atr-ir) spectroscopy followed by different clustering methods in order to determine by which method more reasonable classif...

The superior paraolivary nucleus (SPON), a prominent GABAergic center of the mammalian auditory brainstem, projects to the ipsilateral inferior colliculus (IC) and sends axons through the commissure of the IC (CoIC). Herein we demonstrate that the SPON is reciprocally connected with the recently discovered tectal longitudinal column (TLC). The TLC is a long and narrow structure that spans nearl...

eight samples of flowering tops from six species of the genus crataegus l., commonly called hawthorn, from different geographic locations of iran were standardized according to german pharmacopoeia monograph on crataegi folium cum flore (hawthorn leaf with flower) by high-performance thin-layer chromatograph-ic (hptlc) fingerprinting combining with digital scanning profiling of their major poly...

s and the ICI Web of Science from November 1, 1999 to November 1, 2001. The literature search was augmented by consulting Analytical Abstracts, and the following journals publishing papers on TLC were searched directly: Journal of Chromatography (parts A and B and the bibliography issues), Journal of Chromatographic Science, Chromatographia, Analytical Chemistry, Journal of Liquid Chromatograph...

Among various meanings of TLC like The Last Cigarette—a smoking cessation program that offers numerous resources and tools to assist smokers in their quit efforts, there is also Thin Layer Chromatography, an analytical technique, which can be useful to check the process of quitting smoking and allow to observe differences in nicotine metabolism. The task of this research was checking sufficienc...

Understanding the total lymphocyte count (TLC)-CD4 count relationship could aide design predictive instruments for making clinical decisions during antiretroviral therapy, especially in underserved resource-poor settings. We performed multiple regression analyses to assess the prediction of CD4 count using TLC on 771 participants with 4,836 visits. In linear and logistic regression TLC, hemoglo...
