What's the difference between grumous and semisolid?

Grumous


Definition:

  • (a.) Resembling or containing grume; thick; concreted; clotted; as, grumous blood.
  • (a.) See Grumose.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Because of this, we began using retrograde coronary sinus perfusion (RCSP) for delivery of cardioplegia to prevent the embolization of grumous material.
  • (2) Autopsy demonstrated diffuse and extensive distal coronary arterial embolization of grumous material, including cholesterol crystals, platelets, and fibrin.
  • (3) The subvalvular (mitral) calcified intramyocardial mass was found to be "grumous atherosclerosis."
  • (4) Soft plaques with predominant atheromatous grumous material and hemorrhage were associated more often with tightly stenotic, ulcerated, and symptomatic lesions.

Semisolid


Definition:

  • (a.) Partially solid.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In the first assay, we used a simple density separation technique to remove dense neutrophils (PMN) from suspensions of blood and of bone marrow cells prior to culture in semisolid agar.
  • (2) After 12 days, 100% of the cells terminally differentiate, and clonogenic assays in IL 3-containing semisolid media indicate that the whole population has irreversibly lost proliferative capability.
  • (3) Three short-term human melanoma cell lines were tested for sensitivity to human recombinant alpha-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in a semisolid agar colony formation assay.
  • (4) A 2 h exposure to HIV-1 resulted in a progressive and significant reduction of viable CD34+ cell number in liquid cultures and of granulocyte-macrophage, erythroid and megakaryocytic progenitors in semisolid cultures.
  • (5) When SV-MSCs were cultured in semisolid medium, they formed colonies of blast-like cells that, when replated on plastic, resumed adherent growth.
  • (6) The effects of transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF-beta 3) on growth in semisolid cultures of enriched hematopoietic progenitors derived from normal human marrow and blood were evaluated.
  • (7) A culture system of semisolid medium was able to detect colony-forming units of chondrocytes.
  • (8) The expression of HLA-DR antigenic determinants on human hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) capable of differentiating into mature blood cells, as determined in semisolid cultures, has been demonstrated previously (3-7).
  • (9) Their B cells also have a characteristically low cloning efficiency in semisolid agar cultures, where LPS does not seem to be required.
  • (10) Colony-Stimulating Factor (CSF) production by peripheral blood leukocytes of renal transplant recipients was assayed using semisolid agar culture.
  • (11) on the basis of semisolid motility and ornithine decarboxylase tests.
  • (12) A transformed cystinotic cell line which was recovered from the crisis stage was indistinguishable from its transformed precrisis parental cell strain in growth rate in media containing either 1% or 10% serum, cloning efficiency on plastic, in semisolid media, or upon confluent monolayers of normal skin fibroblasts, expression of SV40 T antigen, or production of virus.
  • (13) After gel filtration, the 30-kDa activity stimulated the growth of very large colonies in semisolid medium consisting mainly of granulocytes with the remainder being macrophages.
  • (14) Single cell cloning of FD-TCL cells in semisolid medium required the addition of exogenous conditioned medium.
  • (15) The influence of lithium chloride on the proliferation of normal granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM) and clonogenic blasts (CFU-L) from patients with acute myeloid leukaemia in the semisolid cultures in vitro was investigated.
  • (16) The expression of EBNA-1, EBNA-2,EBNA-3A,EBNA-Lp or LMP caused shortening of doubling time, increased saturation cell density, reduced serum dependence, anchorage-independent growth in semisolid agar and activation of c-myc.
  • (17) Comparative studies of clonogenic ability of twenty four lung cancer samples have been performed in semisolid agar in vitro and in diffusion chambers in vivo.
  • (18) Semisolid cloning systems are now available to detect the specific progenitor cells of neutrophilmacrophages, eosinophils, megakaryocytes and erythroid cells.
  • (19) Microplaque formation is rapid, reproducible, and easily quantitated, occurs at temperatures ranging from 33 to 40 degrees C, and does not require a semisolid overlay.
  • (20) Organisms grown in a liquid overlay on a semisolid slant (biphasic medium) showed slow logarithmic growth and the presence of chromatoid material.
