Histological Evaluation Of Cryopreserved Ovaries In Autologous Abdominal Transplant To NaïVe, Outbred, Cd1, Mice, Wentia Elissa Ford
Histological Evaluation Of Cryopreserved Ovaries In Autologous Abdominal Transplant To NaïVe, Outbred, Cd1, Mice, Wentia Elissa Ford
Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations
This study showed that fresh and frozen-thawed mouse ovaries would maintain viable primordial or primary follicles post-autologous transplantation. Furthermore, with appropriate hormonal stimulation, these early-stage follicles were shown to develop into Graafian follicles containing a metaphase II antral ovum. Partially sliced ovaries were transplanted into the abdominal cavity of naive, outbred, CD1, white mice. Hormonal stimulation with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) one week after the autologous transplantation stimulated variable degrees of follicle and ovum maturation within the ovarian tissue. There were no major morphological differences observed between the four groups, three treatment and one …
Characterization Of Host-Bacteria Interactions Contributing To Group B Streptococcus Colonization, Jennifer Marie Smith
Characterization Of Host-Bacteria Interactions Contributing To Group B Streptococcus Colonization, Jennifer Marie Smith
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Group B streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of life-threatening bacterial infections during the first three months of life. GBS is also a frequent cause of maternal postpartum infections. Both types of infections stem from maternal vaginal and/or rectal colonization with GBS in the perinatal period. Limited information is available concerning how the colonization process occurs and what role the host immune system may play in the establishment of persistent colonization by GBS. The complex interactions between the immune system and GBS normally should end in clearance of the bacteria. However, since colonization by GBS occurs in a large number …
A Survey Of Pesticide Residues In Blood Of School Children In Peninsular Malaysia And Toxic Effects Of Orally-Administered Endosulfan In Rats, Pui Ling Chan
Student Works (2000-2009)
Due predominantly to the persistent characteristic of the organochlorine (OC) and organophosphorus (OP) pesticides, a survey was conducted to assess the extent of exposure of schoolchildren to pesticides from the environment and through dietary intake. A total of 577 whole blood samples from schoolchildren in Peninsular Malaysia were analysed for the residues of eleven QC and two OP pesticides. The results of the survey revealed the following range of levels in blood (nanogram per gram): aldrin, nd - 4 7 .6; dieldrin, nd; endrin, nd; alpha-endosulfan, nd-0.6; beta-endosulfan, nd; endosulfan sulfate, nd; heptachlor, nd - 3.8; lindane, nd - 5.7; …
