Histocompatibility antigen was analyzed in 1,104 patients with trophoblastic neoplasia and in their husbands. Furthermore, the patients were examined for cell-mediated immunity. (1) There was no significant difference in the frequency of the ABO blood groups between patients with hydatidiform or destructive mole or choriocarcinoma and healthy persons. (2) The incidence of appearance of anti-HL-A antibody was more frequent in the patients with destructive mole than in those with hydatidiform mole or choriocarcinoma. (3) Patients with choriocarcinoma were frequently incompatible at HL-A9, HL-A10, and HL-AW5. (4) The mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) showed lower values in patients with choriocarcinoma than in those with destructive mole. Histocompatibility between the patients and their husbands was more remarkable in the patients with chriocarcinoma than in those with destructive mole. (5) In patients with choriocarcinoma, incompatibility was detected at HL-A10, HL-A11, HL-AW5, and HL-A13 in the group with good prognosis and at HL-A5, HL-AW15, and HL-A12 in the poor prognosis group. The MLC value was lower in the poor prognosis group.

Guidelines for quantifying leaf chlorophyll content via non-destructive spectrometry.

Appl Plant Sci

August 2024

Evolution & Ecology Research Centre, School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, UNSW Sydney 2052 New South Wales Australia.

Premise: Leaf chlorophyll is a fundamental bioindicator used in several fields; however, we lack clear guidelines for optimizing sampling efforts and producing comparable studies.

Methods: We estimated the leaf chlorophyll content of 10 plant species using nondestructive spectrometry methods. We stored half of the leaves at 4°C and half at room temperature under similar light levels to assess the role of storage in the chlorophyll degradation rate.

Understanding and managing locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is crucial given its substantial prevalence and potential for local tissue destruction. While BCC typically exhibits low metastatic potential, its high incidence underscores the need for enhanced therapeutic strategies. Locally advanced BCC presents unique challenges, often necessitating aggressive interventions to prevent disfigurement and functional impairment.

Cr-activated garnet phosphors with broadband near-infrared (NIR) emission have attracted considerable interest due to their high quantum efficiency (QE) and thermal stability for widespread advanced applications. Nevertheless, how to achieve energy-saving broadband NIR phosphors that possess anti-thermal quenching (anti-TQ) without compromising the high QE has yet to be fully addressed. Herein, we report on site reconstruction within the garnet lattice by strategically positioning Sc and Ga atoms into octahedral B sites with a mole ratio of 1 : 1 to produce GdScGaO.

Carbon-based adsorbents used to remove recalcitrant water contaminants, including perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are often regenerated using energy-intensive treatments that can form harmful byproducts. We explore mechanisms for sorbent regeneration using hydrated electrons (e ) from sulfite ultraviolet photolysis (UV/sulfite) in water. We studied the UV/sulfite treatment on three carbon-based sorbents with varying material properties: granular activated carbon (GAC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and polyethylenimine-modified lignin (lignin).
