(a.) Of or pertaining to the Mammalia or mammals.

(14) For application to mammalian cells, however, two serious problems require resolution: (1), correction of TPP+ binding to intracellular constituents and (2), estimation of the considerable TPP+ accumulation in mitochondria.
(15) During the transformation of mammalian cells by SV40, the cells acquire new antigenicity at the cell surface that acts as a target for cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
(16) The strong homology of mammalian L27' to yeast L29 suggests a function which has been conserved throughout evolution, and thus L27' may also be involved in peptidyl transferase activity.
(17) The possibility of mammalian mitochondria functioning in fish embryos has been studied.
(18) This result contraindicates a general permissive-requisite role for forebrain NE for the mammalian brain's plasticity during its critical periods.
(19) A gamma-radiation dose (Di) suppressing DNA synthesis initiation by 35% in primary suspension cultures of mammalian cells, is nearly the same as D0 for survival of clonogenic cells of the same lines and tissues.
(20) Accordingly, the 30-fold differences in aging rate among the mammalian species could be determined in part by peroxidation defense processes.
Meconium
Definition:
(n.) Opium.
(n.) The contents of the fetal intestine; hence, first excrement.
Example Sentences:
(1) Induction of labor, based upon only (1) a finding of meconium in the amniocentesis group or (2) a positive test in the OCT group, was nearly three times more frequent in the amniocentesis group.
(2) It is suggested that the decreased activity of alpha-D-mannosidase and beta-glucuronidase might contribute to the accumulation of the abnormal substances in CF meconium.
(3) In the pregnancies in which the amniotic fluid samples were taken antepartum, the prevalence of meconium-stained amniotic fluid increased with elevating amniotic fluid myoglobin (p less than 0.05, Group A vs. Group C).
(4) In spite of the risks inherent in the use of Urografin amniography, as well as of amniocentesis, there appear to be a great number of advantages to the treatment of meconium obstruction of the fetus in utero.
(5) The attachment by type 1 fimbriated strains to HT-29 cells was reduced by meconium only in some cases.
(6) Craniofacial anomalies, congenital perinatal infections, and meconium aspiration are strong predictors of hearing loss, especially in term infants.
(7) Intestinal stasis and mixing of urine and meconium may be predisposing factors for the calcification of meconium.
(8) The P50 value for cumulative acidosis is 55 minutes, indicating a more rapid deterioration than an average-for-gestational-age fetus without meconium.
(9) The aim of the study was to determine the risk of meconium aspiration by perinatal and obstetric characteristics and to give directions for prophylactic management.
(10) Meconium was present on the fleece of 114 newborn lambs in sixty-two per cent of the cases.
(11) The time of initial meconium passage was significantly earlier in both groups of early fed infants than in the control group, F = 4.202, p = .026.
(12) At least nine mechanical devices are available for suctioning the tracheae of meconium-stained newborns.
(13) A neonate is reported with the meconium cyst form of meconium peritonitis secondary to appendiceal perforation, which occurred prior to birth.
(14) Of these the failure in 87 was due to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and in four it resulted from massive meconium aspiration.
