The Effect Of Iron Bound Transferrin Onmegakaryocytopoiesis In Bone Marrow Culture, Selda Deli̇orman, Ruhi̇ Uyar, Yilmaz Altuner Jan 2000

The Effect Of Iron Bound Transferrin Onmegakaryocytopoiesis In Bone Marrow Culture, Selda Deli̇orman, Ruhi̇ Uyar, Yilmaz Altuner

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Megakaryocytopoiesis is a complicated phenomenon which involves the proliferation of progenitor cells, formation of a polyploid nucleus, cytoplasmic changes and formation of thrombocytes. It has been suggested that megakaryocytopoiesis resembles erythropoiesis. It is well known that iron is a required element for the proliferation of erythrocytes, lymphocytes and cancer cells but no consensus has yet been reached about its role in thrombocytopoiesis. Although thrombocytosis is generally found in patients with iron deficiency anemia, thrombocytopenia is also observed. Cell surface receptors for transferrin were initially characterized on cells with high iron requirements including hemoglobin producing cells and placental cells. More recently, …

The Use Of A Nonradioactive Digoxigenin Labeled Probe For Detection Of Apo(A) Gene Size, Yeşi̇m İlçöl, Bülent İlçöl, Yavuz Taga

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations are associated with premature coronary heart disease and early myocardial infarction. In the general human population the sizes of apolipoprotein [apo(a)] isoforms are inversely associated with lipoprotein(a) levels. Large isoforms are associated with low Lp (a) and small isoforms with high Lp(a) in the plasma. The size of the polymophism is directly correlated with the number of kringle-4 domains in apo(a). It has been shown by quantitative Southern blotting, and more recently by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, that polymophism is the result of differences in the number of tandem kringle-4 repeats in the apo(a) gene.

Establishment Of A Nonradioactive Molecular Diagnosis Of Fragile-X Syndrome, Zehra Oya Uyguner, Bernd Wollnik, Hülya Kayseri̇li̇, Turgut Tükel, Seher Başaran, Memnune Yüksel Apak

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Fragile-X syndrome is a hereditary dynamic mutation disorder, predominantly caused by a large expansion of CGG trinucleotide repeats in the FMR 1 gene leading to methylation and down regulation of transcription of the gene. For the molecular diagnosis of the disease, the repeat locus in FMR 1 gene is primarily detected by Southern blotting with radioactively labeled probes. Unusually GC rich composition of the expanded region caused technical difficulties during PCR based testing and therefore is not performed by most diagnostic laboratories. We established a Southern blot method and a novel PCR protocol which enables the amplification of normal, premutated …

Models Of Medical Malpractice In Jewish Law, Brian Howard Galbut Jan 2000

Models Of Medical Malpractice In Jewish Law, Brian Howard Galbut

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Medical malpractice is largely a product of the modem era. Consequently, one might suppose that ancient sources have little to add to any meaningful discussion of the topic. Yet, numerous models and precedents directly or indirectly applicable to malpractice surface in the vast body of traditional Jewish literature of the last two millennia. These sources can lend profound insight for the physician - and others - grappling with issues of moral and legal responsibilities related to care of patients and malpractice. This thesis will first catalogue the various types of immunities, and qualifications for those immunities, granted by Jewish law …
