(1) Solid-phase radioimmunoassay showed that levels of antibodies to denatured collagen in synovial fluid were significantly higher in RA patients than in OAD patients (median 3,270, range 44-16,816 versus median 919, range 119-5,814; P less than 0.001).

(4) CR1 and CR3 were found to be present on the majority (> 85%) of circulating neutrophils from normal subjects, RA and OAD patients, and on synovial fluid neutrophils from both patient groups.
(5) Octanamide (OAD) was different from the other four amides investigated, having a high clearance (due to metabolic processes in the blood) and possessing the least anticonvulsant activity.
(6) This peak increases first with the progression of occlusive arterial disease (OAD) followed by a decrease at an advanced stage.
(7) Levels of IgG antibodies to denatured or native human type II collagen, rheumatoid factor, immunoglobulins, and total proteins were assessed in paired samples of serum and synovial fluid from 21 patients with RA and from 14 patients with OAD.
(8) However, other groups have been unable to confirm either the biochemical or behavioral findings of Pycock and associates (Joyce et al., 1983; Oades et al., 1986; Deutch et al., 1990).
(9) There was an inhibitory effect on IL-2 activity in the bioassay of synovial fluid from 16 of the 22 patients with RA and 15 of the 16 with OAD.
(10) The first step in the interaction of OADS with the enzyme was the disruption of enzyme-Schiff base, characterized by the rapid disappearance of absorbance at 425 nm (6.5 X 10(3) M-1 s-1) and CD intensity at 430 nm.
(11) In one patient a contrast medium got from the aorta to the pulmonary artery via the arterial duct indicating OAD incomplete closure.
(12) Diagnosis was made in all primary patients using DSA, indications and contraindications for endovascular occlusion of the OAD were defined.
(13) Differences between a clinical sample of younger (ages 5 to 11) and older (ages 12 to 19) children meeting DSM-III criteria for overanxious disorder (OAD) were examined.
(14) Older children more frequently exhibited a concurrent major depression or simple phobia, whereas younger OAD children more commonly had coexisting separation anxiety or attention deficit disorders.
(15) Any cochlear component of OAD does not appear to affect the function of the outer hair cells sufficiently to modify EOAEs materially.
(16) Mean percentage increases observed were: RA patients: CR1, 16.5% (P < 0.001) and CR3, 28.7% (P < 0.001); and OAD patients: CR1, 4.1% and CR3, 26.9% (P = 0.001).
(17) These observations indicate that the aminooxy compounds that are structural analogues of serine (OADS, AAA, and canaline) formed PLP as an intermediate prior to the formation of oxime, whereas with hydroxylamine such an intermediate could not be detected.
(18) One is an oxidative l-arginine deiminase (OAD) that results in the formation of citrulline and reactive nitrogen intermediates.
(19) Older OAD children reported significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression on self-report measures.
(20) Density dependence of maximal expiratory air flow (DD) has been used in adults as a test of early obstructive airway disease (OAD).
Woad
Definition:
(n.) An herbaceous cruciferous plant (Isatis tinctoria). It was formerly cultivated for the blue coloring matter derived from its leaves.
(n.) A blue dyestuff, or coloring matter, consisting of the powdered and fermented leaves of the Isatis tinctoria. It is now superseded by indigo, but is somewhat used with indigo as a ferment in dyeing.
Example Sentences:
(1) N.m.r.-, magnetic-c.d.- and e.p.r.-spectroscopic studies of oxidized and reduced cytochrome f from charlock, rape and woad are reported.
(2) Well, most people outside Ukip’s woad-wearing tendency and the wilder shores of Tory little Englanderism can probably say yes to that.
