Semiquantitative scores assess the number of affected cusps, homogeneous versus more focal distribution of calcium and involvement of coronary versus non-coronary cusps.
In autoradiograms, we observed an overall higher radioactivity signal in Raji xenografts under baseline than under blockade conditions with a focal distribution pattern (Fig. 2d).
An important feature of schistosomiasis is its focal distribution.
The results were consistent with a model predicting focal distribution of HCV.
The low average levels of HCV RNA in biopsy samples can be explained by focal distribution of infected hepatocytes.
Together these factors determine the focal distribution of TBE [11], but have not been shown to determine incidence.
In our experimental model we consistently found fibrinoid lesions that were restricted to the maternal placental regions, either covering extensive areas or having focal distribution.
Importantly, our results highlight the focal distribution of S. japonicum in the area and its prevalence among particular occupational groups, including fishermen, farmers and boatmen who are in close contact with cercariae infested water.
In one study on human kidney biopsies [28], PUUV antigen was detected in the cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells with focal distribution in the cortical and medullary areas of the kidney.
These abnormalities comprise multiple chronic smooth-edged erosive lesions with a focal distribution in the caudal part of the mandible, usually on the surangular and less commonly on the dentary (Figure 1, Figure 2, and Supporting Information S1).
Thus, SP expression is induced after infection, co-ordinate with htPPT-A gene expression as both are detected in similar cells in trachea, bronchi and alveoli, and with a similar focal distribution.
