What's the difference between aggregation and druse?
Aggregation
Definition:
(n.) The act of aggregating, or the state of being aggregated; collection into a mass or sum; a collection of particulars; an aggregate.
Example Sentences:
(1) Aggregation was more frequent in low-osmolal media: mainly rouleaux were formed in ioxaglate but irregular aggregates in non-ionic media.
(2) We have examined overlapping octapeptides from the kappa IIIb light chain variable region and show that some framework peptides have the ability to bind aggregated IgG.
(3) Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was prepared, and platelet aggregation studies were conducted directly or conducted on washed platelets prepared from PRP collected with ACD.
(4) Macrophages internalize aggregated low density lipoprotein (LDL) by LDL receptor-dependent phagocytosis.
(5) Cicaprost is an orally available analogue of PGI2 and has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation in both in vitro and animal studies.
(6) Only IgG2a and IgG2b myeloma proteins bound readily to IC-21 Fc-receptors, the former in nonaggregated as well as aggregated form, the latter only as aggregated complexes.
(7) When the aggregates occurred on the cell periphery their position coincided with areas free of lamellae.
(8) 2-(4'-Isobutylphenyl)propionic acid, ibuprofen, is an antiinflammatory agent which possesses moderate platelet aggregation inhibitory activity.
(9) In addition, spontaneous platelet aggregation is increased when vegetations are present on cardiac valves.
(10) At concentrations several hundredfold higher than the equivalents present in the minimum concentration of rat skin soluble collagen required for platelet aggregation, neither Hyl-Gal (at 29 muM) nor Hyl-Gal-Glc (at 18 muM) caused platelet aggregation or inhibited platelet aggregation by native collagen.
(11) The mechanisms leading to spontaneous platelet aggregation and thrombocytopenia appear to be similar to those described for other patients with type IIB vWD.
(12) There is approximately a 25% decrease in aggregation from regions of the rib distal to the metaphyseal-growth plate junction (69%) to the region proximal to it (50%).
(13) Laboratory data were aggregated similarly within each study, using the last active drug as a grouping factor.
(14) No correlation could be found between DS content and state of aggregation.
(15) The synthetic S-nitroso-thiol, S-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine, markedly inhibited platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 6 nM.
(16) On the other hand, ultraviolet (320-nm) light, absorbed by 3-hydroxy-pyridinium cross-links which were rapidly photolyzed, partially dissociated polymeric collagen aggregates from bovine Achilles tendon after subsequent heating.
(17) The ternary complex consisting of a 65-kDa peptide originating from the proteoglycan core protein and a 43-kDa link protein bound to hyaluronic acid was purified from a clostripain digest of the rat chondrosarcoma aggregating proteoglycan and 14C-carbamylated with potassium [14C]cyanate.
(18) The IC50 on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation was: fisetin, 22 microM; kaempferol, 20 microM; quercetin, 13 microM; morin, 150 microM less than IC50 less than 300 microM.
(19) Changes in the determinants of blood viscosity (packed cell volume, plasma viscosity, red cell aggregation, and red cell deformability) were studied on day 1 and day 5.
(20) Released aggregates of the 19.6-kDa protein were removed from suspension by ultracentrifugation and separated from contaminating membranes by washing in 1.0% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).
Druse
Definition:
(n.) A cavity in a rock, having its interior surface studded with crystals and sometimes filled with water; a geode.
(n.) One of a people and religious sect dwelling chiefly in the Lebanon mountains of Syria.
Example Sentences:
(1) A similar decline in Arabs and Druse has not been identified and awaits further analysis.
(2) Histologically, a destructive variant of the development of actinomycotic granulomas with degenerating druses of the ray fungus and mycelial inclusions was revealed.
(3) The Ytb allelic frequencies ranged between 0.1005 and 0.1522 in the Jewish communities and were 0.1294 and 0.1429 in the Arab and Druse communities, respectively.
(4) The lobe area and the diameter of the central veins were stated to have a different morphometric index, that demonstrates the presence, in the dog liver, of certain lobar complexes arranged like druses in a rock crystal.
(5) Characteristic actinomycetic druses are found histologically only in the right Fallopian tube.
(6) The pin-point lesions corresponded to single enlarged retinal pigment epithelial cells with lipid accumulation and the larger area represented a small, localized retinal pigment epithelial detachment (soft druse).
(7) It was possible to distinguish between albipunctatus-dots and druses by fluorescenceangiography.
(8) The prevalence of at least one druse within 1500 microns of the foveal center was extremely common (over 80% in each age group over 30 years of age) and not age related.
(9) The Yta and Ytb allelic frequencies were determined by examining the red cells of 1683 blood samples from Israeli Jews, Arabs, and Druse with anti-Yta and -Ytb.
(10) The soft druse was associated with thickening of the basement membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium.
