Although nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) are rarely found circulating in older children, they are commonly seen in the blood of newborns. They are primarily produced in the fetal bone marrow in response to erythropoietin and are stored in the marrow as precursors to reticulocytes and mature erythrocytes. Many acute and chronic stimuli cause increases in the number of circulating nRBCs from ei...

Four yeast strains were isolated from soil in a mixed deciduous forest in Amphoe Wang Nam Khiao, Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand. On the basis of morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, and the sequence analyses of the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit (LSU) rRNA gene, small-subunit rRNA gene and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, the three stra...

Recently, we have described that apoptosis-like process of red blood cells (RBC) - eryptosis - in malaria is not restricted to parasitized cells, occurring also in non-parasitized RBC (nRBC). Besides to pathogenic proprieties, apoptosis also participates in the innate defense trough restriction of intracellular pathogens propagation. In the present study, we investigated the capacity of P. falc...

Invasive procedures for prenatal diagnosis are associated with increased risk of abortion; thus, development of noninvasive procedures would be beneficial. Based on the observation that embryonic nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) crosses the placenta and enters the circulation of pregnant women, the ability to identify such cell would allow development of such procedures. Identification of NRBCs ...

This study examines how the low-carbon pilot city policy (LCPCP) affects energy efficiency from angles of green technology innovation and upgrading industrial structure by using panel data collected Chinese cities between 2007 2019. The research results include: (1) Based on time-varying difference-in-differences method, LCPCP has significantly improved efficiency, while such remain significant...

In the present study we investigated the potential of the Sysmex XE-2100 automated hematology analyzer as a screening device for bone marrow (BM) aspirates. We evaluated BM cellularity, white blood cell (WBC) differential count, immature granulocyte (IG) count, nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count, granulocyte/erythroid (G/E) and myeloid/erythroid (M/E) ratio, and potential pathologyrelated sc...

BACKGROUND In northeastern Italy, according to Italian legislation, authorized public facilities can accept the donation and preservation of cord blood stem cells (CB-SC). Attitudes and knowledge in pregnant women differs between the local and immigrant (non-European Union [EU]) population. In this study we assessed the choices that pregnant women have with respect to the public and private har...

Internal combustion engines and blowers frequently utilize silencers to reduce exhaust noise. In the current paper, transmission loss of reactive is predicted using plane wave decomposition method a three-dimensional (3-D) time-domain computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. A mass-flow-inlet boundary condition first used perform steady flow computation, which serves as an initial for two s...
