Definition is a rhetorical mode that can be used in something smaller or shorter than a full paper. You can use extended definition for several paragraphs only in a paper of much greater length. You also can add to a paper a one-paragraph definition--like a brief encyclopedia definition.
Immunodeficiency: Therapies include thymus transplantation and adoptive transfer of mature T cells (ATMTC) for individuals with complete DiGeorge syndrome and appropriate prophylaxis measures and monitoring autoimmune complications for incomplete or partial DiGeorge syndrome.
The contraction of mesangial cells involves the interplay of many signal transduction pathways, including both PKC and intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i) (10, 22). The role of PKC and [Ca 2+ ] i in the effects of adriamycin on contractile function of mesangial cells is currently unclear.In adriamycin nephrotoxicity, a pathological change in glomeruli is initially manifested by glomerular hypertension and hyperfiltration (5, 12, 26).o evaluate the extent to which calcium-induced contraction was impaired by adriamycin treatment, [Ca 2+ ] i, expressed as the F340/F380 ratio, was measured in fura 2-loaded mesangial cells.
