Removal of drinking water was followed by progressive dehydration for 96 h during which time packed cell volume (PCV) increased from 39.9% to 44.7% and plasma osmolarity (pOsm) rose from 303.3 mOsm to 342.0 mOsm/1 with hypernatraemia. At the same time plasma prolactin (pPRL) was rapidly ...

As well as being a promising biological fluid for biomarker discovery, seminal plasma might find a unique niche as a clinical diagnostic fluid Because cancer-specific proteins can appear earlier in seminal plasma than in blood serum, seminal plasma could facilitate the early diagnosis of prostate and...
The main advantage of SBF application in studies of biomaterials is a cheaper and ethic way for research (than cell culture test and testing on animals). These studies include, e.g. research with the use of artificial urine or artificial salive as well as blood plasma. The process of emiss...
Cell-free plasma was isolated from blood samples within 12 hours after collection using a two-step protocol (1,500 r.p.m. for 10 min, 12,000 r.p.m. for 2 min) to prevent contamination by cellular nucleic acids and then stored at − 80 °C until further processing....
Polytetrafluoroethylene sheet samples have been treated in a low-power plasma cell using O2, Ar, N2 and NH3 feed gases. The surfaces became significantly more wettable in simulated body fluid and bromonaphthalene. By using a range of techniques, this was found to be principally due to chemical...

Flow cytometry is also useful in the diagnosis of plasma cell dyscrasias. Plasma cells areCD38+(bright) and CD138+(although less sensitive). Plasma cells in the blood andtonsilsare CD45+, whereas in the bone marrow plasma cells may be either CD45+positive or CD45−. Normal plasma cells...
