(5) Spectroscopic comparisons of the sipunculid and brachiopod Hrs show no significant differences in the active site structures; therefore, modulation of oxygen affinity is attributable to effects linking the site to quaternary structural changes in the octamer.
(6) The red colour of some terebratulid brachiopod shells is caused by a small chromoprotein that occurs within the calcium carbonate matrix of the shell.
(7) The fine structure of the shell and underlying mantle in young juveniles of the articulate brachiopod Terebratalia transversa has been examined by electron microscopy.

(10) Chemical and spectroscopic consequences of allosteric interactions for ligand binding to sipunculid (Phascolopsis gouldii) and brachiopod (Lingula reevii) hemerythrins (Hrs) have been investigated.
(11) The morphology of the mantle in free-swimming and metamorphosing larvae of the articulate brachiopod Terebratalia transversa has been examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
(12) We have used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify, clone and sequence homologues of the Drosophila segment polarity genes engrailed (en), cubitus interruptus Dominant (ciD) and wingless (wg) from the genome of the brachiopod, Terebratulina retusa (Linnaeus).
(13) Reported are results on the subunit composition of octameric hemerythrin (Hr) from the brachiopod Lingula reevii.
(14) The partial N-terminal amino acid sequence of the protein is virtually identical in three different brachiopod genera, indicating homology.
(15) The orientation relationship between apatite and organic matrix in shell of Lingula unguis (inarticulate brachiopod) was studied.
(16) Very recently, one other Hr, that from the brachiopod Lingula unguis, was also shown to contain equimolar proportions of two different subunits [Satake, K., Yugi, M., Kamo, M., Kihara, H., & Tsugita, A.
Pedicle
Definition:
(n.) Same as Pedicel.
Example Sentences:
(1) 14 patients with painful neuroma, skin hyperesthesia or neuralgic rest pain were followed up (mean 20 months) after excision of skin and scar, neurolysis and coverage with pedicled or free flaps.
(2) But, we found that the Roux-Y type bypass operation using the pedicled jejumun was a safe and uninvasive procedure for a patient with high risk.
(3) Previous work has shown that corticocancellous bone chips placed in a titanium chamber with an arteriovenous vascular pedicle will result in a pre-formed vascularized bone graft.
(4) Our results show that stenosis of about one-third of the original external diameter of the artery and vein of the pedicle in our model did not have any significant influence on the survival of the flap and ligation of the femoral artery distal to the branch to the flap did not produce any statistical difference in the viability of the flap.
(5) The labia minora as a pedicle graft avoids the problems encountered by conventional methods.
(6) The general tendency of gradual CBF reduction from the pedicle to the distal end of all the flaps was observed.
(7) Congenital defect of a cervical pedicle produces a rare clinical syndrome with a characteristic X-ray picture associated with vague clinical signs often accentuated after trauma.
(8) The difference from the Hughes flap is that the blood supply is maintained through two tubed pedicles of conjunctiva and Muller's muscle, rather than an apron of conjunctiva.
(9) The pedicle screw systems were always the most rigid.
(10) The ability to transfer comparable local skin can be enhanced by the use of the subcutaneous island pedicle flap.
(11) Anterior transposition of the cervical pedicles and fixation of the myometrium to the anterior vagina ensure that the fitting is solid and in the correct direction.
(12) Within a few weeks sufficient neovascularisation developed to support free transfer of the flaps based on the implanted vein graft pedicle.
(13) Eleven cases are reported of island flaps containing only venous pedicles.
(14) While our experience with this technique is limited, it would appear that the neuromuscular pedicle transfer may play a useful adjunctive role in reanimation of the face in selective cases of facial paralysis.
(15) The injured vertebra is grafted through the pedicle, giving security against late collapse after device removal.
(16) When used as a vascular island flap, either a distal pedicle or a proximal pedicle can be used.
(17) A Spinal Pedicle Finder (S.P.F) has been designed for transpedicular screws and a prototype has been completed.
