The electron and light microscopic features that define the microvascular segments, when coupled with that ability of laser Doppler flowmetry to define the predominant microvascular segments under the probe, allow one to study both the mechanisms of normal physiologic states and the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying pathologic skin disorders in which the microvasculature plays a predominant role.
The human IgH locus contains 66 rearrangeable VH, 27 DH, and 6 JH genes, so we designed probes to detect the predominant DH3 10 gene segment and the JH4 gene segment.
Overall, the study found library users' wayfinding behavior to be generally inconsistent over time, but that there are users who stick to predominant segments (those segments used heavily to connect two particular nodes, or stops).
These studies examining the dual labeling of E- and N-cadherin indicated that E-cadherin is the predominant cadherin in most segments of the rat nephron, but that N-cadherin is the predominant cadherin in a subpopulation of tubules that were tentatively identified as proximal tubules.
A recent study reported that a human CD133+CD24+CD106- tubular progenitor population, present in both proximal and distal segments, became the predominant regenerating population in both acute and chronic tubular damage patients [72].
In our study, as with other reports [14], posterior segment lesions were the predominant finding in patients with POTB.
Taking a look at the languages spoken around the world, we see that in the United States where the predominant language is English, a big segment of the population is also fluent in Spanish or another language.
Furthermore, the disappeared DNA bands in some irradiated samples may be due to deletion of DNA segments that is the predominant radiation-oxidative damage in irradiated plant cells.
These results therefore demonstrate that a cytogenetic deletion spanning the commonly deleted segment on chromosome 5q31.2 is the predominant genetic event leading to haploinsufficiency of multiple del 5q) genes.
Among the affected individuals, the predominant defect was a dorsal gap in one or more abdominal segments, in some cases leading to segment fusion.
