This paper reviews cell surface Ags expressed on mouse hemopoietic and nonhemopoietic cells. The review will cover molecules included in the cluster of differentiation (CD) from CD1 to CD166 and lymphocyte Ag (Ly) series from Ly-1 to Ly-81 as well as some new Ags without current CD or Ly assignments. In addition to an update on mouse nomenclature, there will be a discussion of some known functi...

recurrence (PER), which is usually quantified using a Rutgeerts scoring system, typically precedes clinical recurrence and PER was reported to occur in almost 58% of CD patients within 1 year of intestinal resection. In this issue, Lee et al. conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the factors influencing and recurrence rates of postoperative CD. Thirtyfour patients who were regularly follo...

CD-ELISA uses the microfluidic ranking method and centrifugal force to control the testing solution as it flows into the reaction region. The most challenging part of CD-ELISA is controlling the flow process for different biological testing solutions, i.e. the controlling sequence for the microfluidic channel valves. The microfluidic channel valve is therefore the most important fluid channel s...

Background: Based on biochemical properties, Enterobacter cloacae represents a large complex of at least 13 variant species, subspecies, and genotypes that progressively identified as the most species causing hospital-acquired infections. The aim of this study was to determine the relevance between phylogenetically related strains within the E. cloacae complex and the frequency of urinary tract...

Six groups of 15 rats were fed on three diets, each differing in the quantity and quality of protein (17.87 as opposed to 8.85 g%, with or without the addition of 0.5 g methionine), one group of each pair of animals being injected subcutaneously with 0.3 mg Cd/kg body weight/day, for 13 weeks. The low protein diet increased the effects of cadmium, rendering them significantly more harmful than ...

based on the fact the manipulation of fine nanoclusters calls for more precise modeling, the aim of this paper is to conduct an atomistic investigation for interaction analysis of particle-substrate system for pushing and positioning purposes. in the present research, 2d molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate such behaviors. performing the planar simulations can provide a ...

Computer simulation techniques are employed to obtain binding energies of 2,3 and 4 vacancy clusters in a -iron using the Finnis Sinclair many body potential. The results are compared with earlier pair potential calculations. The many body potential is found to be quite successful in simulating vacancy clusters

The occurrence of Seyfert galaxies in 6 samples representative of different cosmological environments (i.e. isolated pairs, compact and loose groups) is analysed. To avoid biases linked to subjective sample selection criteria only canonical samples, taken from the literature, are considered. It is found that the average frequency of Seyferts in all samples, is near 2%. Most Seyferts lying in pa...

Light-emitting field effect transistors (LEFETs) are an emerging class of multifunctional optoelectronic devices. It combines the light emitting function of an OLED with the switching function of a transistor in a single device architecture. The dual functionality of LEFETs has the potential applications in active matrix displays. However, the key problem of existing LEFETs thus far has been th...
