OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of albuminuria in Aborigines and Australians of European descent (Europids), as part of an epidemiological study of glucose intolerance and cardiovascular risk factors based in country towns of south-eastern Australia.
METHODS
Population-based cross-sectional
Ginsenosides contained in Panax species were separated by silica gel TLC blotted to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane which was dipped in a sodium periodide (NaIO(4)) solution and reacted with protein, preparing a ginsenoside-protein conjugate for binding a ginsenoside on a PVDF membrane.
A total of 205 Han Chinese from two eastern provinces (155 from Fujien and 50 from Hopeh) were tested for the distribution of six blood groups--A1A2BO, MN, Rhesus (CcDEe), Lewisa, Kell (Kk) and Fya--four serum proteins--albumin and haptoglobin types; transferrin and group-specific component
BACKGROUND
The epidemiology of hepatitis C virus infection has been well characterized in Western Europe, North America and Japan. Less is known about it in other regions of the world. In order to fully understand the relationship between host and virus, it is important to study the effect of virus
OBJECTIVE
Deficient action of insulin is associated with derangement of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Determination of the extent of such derangement in steady state type 2 diabetic patients enhances management planning and prevents diabetic complications. This is necessary in a poor
CONCLUSIONS
Anaemia affects almost two-thirds of pregnant women in developing countries; it is associated with poor maternal and perinatal outcomes. Anaemia during pregnancy, through many endocrine alterations might influence maternal and fetal environment. This study was conducted to investigate
The study was conducted to investigate determinants (clinical, nutritional, and nonnutritional factors) of anemia among pregnant women in Kassala, eastern Sudan. Sociodemographic characteristics were gathered; serum ferritin, zinc, albumin, and C-reactive protein were measured using different
BACKGROUND
Studies investigating the nutritional status of patients with leprosy and plantar ulcers are sparse. Therefore, the objective of this study was to describe the protein profile of leprosy patients with plantar ulcers from the Eastern Amazon region.
METHODS
A case record form was created
A total of 215 Lepchas (75 Buddhists and 140 Christians) living in the Kalimpong subdivision, Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India, were investigated for the distribution of haemoglobin, serum proteins and red cell enzymes. The gene frequencies were as follows: HbE = 0.02; Hp1 = 0.18; TfB =
UNASSIGNED
Proteinuria is a common feature of sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) that can progress to renal insufficiency and end stage renal disease. Microalbuminuria (MA) is the earliest manifestation of SCN and precedes the development of overt proteinuria. In addition to the renal consequences, MA is
A method was developed for the production of Eastern equine encephalomyelitis vaccine from virus grown in rolling-bottle cultures (840 cm(2) growth area) of chick embryo cells. The PE-6 strain of virus was propagated in chick embryo cell roller cultures maintained on serum-free medium 199 containing
Salamanders of the North American plethodontid genus Plethodon are important model organisms in a variety of studies that depend on a phylogenetic framework (e.g., chemical communication, ecological competition, life histories, hybridization, and speciation), and consequently their systematics has
The abilities of isolates of Amanita alboverrucosa, A. conicoverrucosa, A. fuscosquamosa, A. nauseosa, A. ochrophylla, A. pyramidifera, A. roseolamellata, A. xanthocephala and six unidentified Amanita species from eastern Australian temperate sclerophyll forests to utilise a range of inorganic and
1. A comparison is made of gel electrophoretic patterns of the "whey" proteins of the milk of red (Macropus rufus) and eastern grey (Macropus giganteus) kangaroos at various stages of lactation. Qualitative and quantitative changes occur with time during the mature phase of lactation of both types.
Plasma fructosamine, total proteins and albumin were estimated in a group of 77 sickle cell anaemia and 32 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient Saudi Arabs and the results compared with those obtained in a group of 30 normal controls. The mean values of fructosamine in the sickle cell
