| stepwise development of chromosomal abnormalities in angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. | cytogenetic studies of lymphoproliferative diseases, such as angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (aild), may provide a clue to the understanding of tumor development. angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy may evolve from a nonmalignant lymphoproliferation into a peripheral t-cell lymphoma or even into a high-grade b-cell lymphoma and thus offers the chance to observe cytogenetic changes during lymphoma development. we report the cytogenetic findings in 24 cases of aild. they are discussed together w ... | 2008 | 2253183 |
| [the psychotic anxiety scale (pas). evaluation of inter-rater reliability and correspondence factorial analysis]. | we recently proposed the first scale for evaluating anxiety in psychotics: the "psychotic anxiety scale" (pas). the first version of this scale was tested in 45 psychotic patients. the multiple correspondence factorial analysis revealed that 4 factors account for respectively 50%, 18%, 17% and 10% of the variance. this scale thus evaluates anxiety along 4 axes: severity of the symptomatology, evolution in time, hetero-aggressiveness and self-aggressiveness. this analysis supports the hypothesis ... | 2008 | 2612427 |

| a mucin containing the x, y, and h type 2 carbohydrate determinants is shed by carcinoma cells. | monoclonal antibody br 15-6a directed to the y carbohydrate determinant (fuc alpha 1----2gal beta 1----4glcnac(3----1fuc) beta 1----3gal beta 1----4glc beta 1----1cer) reacted with the cell surface and conditioned media of colorectal and breast carcinoma cell lines. double determinant immunoassays using br 15-6a as detector antibody showed that the y determinant is part of a high molecular weight mucin that coexpressed other carbohydrate antigens based on a type 2 chain (x, h type 2). type 1 cha ... | 2008 | 2442094 |
| phytochrome from the green alga mesotaenium caldariorum. purification and preliminary characterization. | a method to purify the phytochrome photoreceptor from the unicellular green alga mesotaenium caldariorum is presented. preparative scale formation of algal protoplasts and controlled osmotic cell lysis have permitted separation of intact organelles from the phytochrome-enriched soluble protein fraction. we have utilized the observation that red light-absorbing (pr) and far-red light-absorbing (pfr) forms of phytochrome are differentially retained on an anion exchange matrix to purify m. caldario ... | 2008 | 2324111 |
| grading white matter lesions on ct and mri: a simple scale. | we developed and tested a simple three-point scale for grading white matter lesions in anterior and posterior regions of the brain. twenty four ct scans and 24 mri scans were separately judged by 11 and five observers, respectively, on the presence and severity of white matter lesions. the observers were radiologists and neurologists. for ct scans, these periventricular changes were graded according to their extent as absent, or partly involving the white matter, or extending up to the subcortic ... | 2008 | 2292703 |

| diffusion regulated growth characteristics of a spherical prevascular carcinoma. | recently a mathematical model of the prevascular phases of tumor growth by diffusion has been investigated (s.a. maggelakis and j.a. adam, math. comput. modeling, in press). in this paper we examine in detail the results and implications of that mathematical model, particularly in the light of recent experimental work carried out on multicellular spheroids. the overall growth characteristics are determined in the present model by four parameters: q, gamma, b, and delta, which depend on informati ... | 2008 | 2397329 |
