Duplication And Deletion 11q23-Q24 Recombinants In Two Offspring Of An Intrachromosomal Insertion ("Shift") Carrier, Miriam G. Forsythe, Hugh Walker, Lester Weiss, Jacquelyn R. Roberson, Maria J. Worsham, V. Ramesh Babu, Daniel L. Van Dyke

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Few examples of intrachromosomal insertions have been described. These usually result from deletion of a segment of chromosome material, with insertion of the deleted material elsewhere on the same chromosome. Previous insertional translocations have been identified through a proband who has either a deletion or a duplication of the inserted segment. We describe a family which has two probands, one with a duplication and one with a deletion of the inserted segment. The unbalanced chromosomes probably resulted from an uneven number of crossovers between the breakpoints in the chromosome 11 of the father, who carries a balanced intrachromosomal insertion of …

Determination Of Antibody Levels In Periapical Lesions Against Sixteen Oral Microorganisms By The Elisa Technique, Sammee Lee Jones

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The root canal system, which includes the periapical region of the tooth, may become infected by several types of microorganisms which are normally associated with these tissues. A bacteria-specific antibody response may occur at the local level, where various classes of immunoglobulins have been found and reported in the literature. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively measure locally produced immunoglobulin' levels in periapical lesion abscess materials and to determine the specific reactivity of these antibodies to several microorganisms which are normal flora, as well as being previously associated with the development and pathogenesis of endodontic infections. Periapical lesions …

A Pesquisa Urbana No Equador, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

É relativamente difícil precisar a origem cronológica de um campo ou área de conhecimento de um país determinado. Ainda mais se tem em conta que tanto a constituição teórica de um campo de conhecimento ultrapassa as fronteiras nacionais, como o objeto empírico de estudo é anterior a sua constitui9ao teórica. Isto é, precede-a e é uma condição necessária porém insuficiente. Para o nosso caso, este objeto é a "cidade", que historicamente existe no Equador, segundo algumas hipóteses desde á conquistam espanhola (Carrión, F. 1986); no entanto um pensamento relativamente consistente sobre ela recém se inicia quando o processo de urbanização …

Improved Selective Medium For The Isolation Of Treponema Hyodysenteriae, Robert A. Kunkle, J. M. Kinyon

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

An agar medium with improved selection for Treponema hyodysenteriae was developed. Cultures of T. hyodysenteriae and T. innocens, feces from 11 clinically normal pigs, and colonic contents from 6 pigs with gross lesions consistent with swine dysentery were diluted in phosphate-buffered saline and plated on Trypticase soy agar (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) with 5% citrated bovine blood (TSA), TSA with 400 ,ug of spectinomycin per ml (TSA-S400), TSA-S400 with 25 ,ug each of colistin and vancomycin per ml, and TSA with 5% pig feces extract and five antimicrobial agents (spiramycin, rifampin, vancomycin, colistin, and spectinomycin) (BJ). Viable numbers …
