Nodules INDEX

M. A. Meylan, B. K. Dugohnski, and L. Fortin, Bibliography and Index to Eiterature on Manganese Nodules, Key to Geophysical Records documentation No. 6, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Washington, D.C., 1874—1975, p. 365, p. 60 addendum. 

Placental site nodules are composed of mitotically inactive intermediate trophoblastic cells of chorionic type within a nodular, hyalinized stroma. Lesional cells express pan-trophoblastic markers as well as the chorionic intermediate trophoblast-associated markers FLAP and p63. The Ki-67 index in a placental site nodule is less than 10% to 15% ... 

This tumor is composed of neoplastic implantation site intermediate trophoblasts that inhltrate myometrium. hPL and HLA-G are typically expressed. Placental site trophoblastic tumors have an index of 14% (+/- 7%) PSTTs can also contain scattered hCG-expressing syn-cytiotrophoblasts, but they are rare and haphazardly situated, not intimately admixed with mononuclear trophoblasts as is typical of choriocarcinoma. Biopsy or curettage material may suggest the presence of PSTT or placental site nodule. Both the immunophenotype and proliferative index of these lesions differ, with preferential expression of hPL and HLA-G in PSTT, as opposed to FLAP and p63 in placental site nodule. 749... 

Excess soybean DNA with radioactive root nodule leghemoglobln cDNA (single- and double-stranded DNA separated on hydroxyar>atite, and radioactivity of double-strand DNA monitored as an index of the fraction (C/Co) of cDNA annealed). 

Nitrogen-fixing Rhizobia on the roots provide the crop with nitrogen. Fertiliser N or FYM has no benefit and can delay or suppress nodulation. For a soil with an index of 2, the fertiliser recommendations for fresh peas wonld be 85 kg/ha of PjOj and 40-90 kg/ha of K O and for vining peas would be 40/ha of P Oj and 20-40 kg/ha of Kp.
