At the same time, a question arises: How can a physician make sure that the β-hCG is of an endogenous source and not the residue of the prescribed drugs (hCG)? In this article we have studied the elimination time of 1M injection of 5000 IU hCG in 11 normal, and 1M injection of 5000 and 10,000 IU hCG in 11 Rokitansky patients. The time of complete elimination of β-hCG from the circulation in 10 normal women and 5 Rokitansky patients receiving 5000 IU of hCG were 7-11, and 7-8 days respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between these two groups. Comparing the two groups of Rokitansky patients receiving 5,000 and 10,000 IV of hCG, the elimination time were dose-dependent, and were significantly different from each other (P<0.01). We conclude that when the serum level of β-hCG is higher than 5m IU/ml after 11 and 14 days with 5,000 and 10,000 IV of hCG injection, it could be accepted as an implanted pregnancy.}, Keywords = {}, volume = {4}, Number = {2}, pages = {133-135}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1561-en.html}, eprint = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1561-en.pdf}, journal = {Medical Journal of The Islamic Republic of Iran (MJIRI)}, issn = {1016-1430}, eissn = {2251-6840}, year = {1990} } @article{ author = {VESSAL, M and AKMALI, M}, title = {ENZYME LEVELS IN THE SERA AND ERYTHROCYTES OF PATIENTS WITH VISCERAL LEISH MANIASIS}, abstract ={Twenty five blood samples from 6-month to 5-year old children with visceral leishmaniasis were analysed for various enzymes.

The extent of increase in PTH and alkaline phosphatase levels depended on the duration of dialysis in the majority of the patients.

The passage of latex particles of 7.6 µm in diameter and non-hematopoietic cells through the lung blood vessels was also studied. Leukocytes and bone marrow cells were reversibly sequestered from circulation, whereas, latex particles and non-hematopoietic cells were removed irreversibly. Continuous circulation of leukocytes or bone marrow cells results in a steady state at which circulating cells and the lung reach some kind of equilibrium wi th no net cell removal by the lung. Further cell removal or release can occur by changing the circulating cell concentration. Removal of Ca++ and Mg++ from circulating medium decreased the sequestration of leukocytes by the lung. Complement activation is not involved in this process, since whole blood as well as serum free suspension of leukocytes, bone marrow cells or peritoneal cavity neutrophils showed similar patterns of sequestration. The results indicate that cell sequestration by the isolated perfused lung is a physiological process which can be considered as a suitable model of the in-vivo sequestration of blood leukocytes by the vascular system of the body. The pattern and the rate of sequestration depends on the cell type, cell concentration in circulation, and chemical factors in circulating medium.
