Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 Basic Leucine Zipper Factor (HBZ) Interacts and Inhibits the Acetyltransferase Activity of Multiple Cellular Coactivator Families to Deregulate Transcription
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Of the 20 million individuals infected worldwide with the complex retrovirus, Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1, 5% will develop an incurable and fatal form of leukemia known as adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). During the ... -
Selective Recruitment of Germ Cell mRNAs by eIF4 Factors
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)During germ line development critical steps in the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells into oocytes and sperm are regulated by mRNA translational control. This regulation changes the subset of proteins being ... -
Exploring the Use of the Expert Search and Scanning Skills with Novice Drivers with and Without Conditions Affecting Executive Functioning
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)This study examined the use of the computer-based assessment tool in determining relationships between scanning performance and driver characteristics. A 3 (novice drivers, early licensed drivers, experienced drivers) x ... -
Complementary and alternative interventions : attitudes and use of counselors-in-training in counselor education programs
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)There is a growing awareness and use of complementary and alternative medicine and complementary and alternative interventions (CAM/CAI) in the United States. Research and education in both the medical and nursing professions ... -
Pulmonary Pathologies Following Inhalation of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes at Occupational Levels
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are a nanomaterial that is growing in use and popularity. The health effects of occupational pulmonary exposure to MWCNT are currently unknown. The goals of this study were to build a ... -
Fine Structure of the Motile Cells and Flagella in a Member of the Actinoplanaceae (Actinomycetales)
(East Carolina University, 1970-11)The motile cells (sporangiospores) of an undescribed member of the Actinoplanaceae are studied by electron microscopy as shadowed, negatively stained, and sectioned preparations. The rod-shaped spores exhibit a typically ... -
Sex, SIN, and Dirty Books
(East Carolina University, 1974-01)The paper discusses various creative approaches used to involve faculty in library operations and to expand service both to faculty and students in an academic health sciences library. Originally published Bulletin of hte ... -
The Academic Health Sciences Library and Serial Selection
(East Carolina University, 1974-07)A review of efforts to formulate basic medical journal lists and a report of a survey of subscriptions held in academic health science libraries is presented. The subscriptions held by thirty-seven libraries were analyzed ... -
Butyl Rubber Stoppers Increase the Shelf Life of Prereduced, Anaerobically Sterilized Media
(East Carolina University, 1977-05)Butyl rubber stoppers as compared with neoprene or black rubber stoppers significantly increased the shelf life of prereduced, anaerobically sterilized media for growth of obligately anaerobic bacteria. Originally published ... -
Another dimension to the black Diaspora. Diet, disease, and racism
(East Carolina University, 1983-07) -
Faculty input in book selection: a comparison of alternative methods.
(East Carolina University, 1987-07)In an era of tight funding, academic medical center libraries need to determine their users' needs in order to provide cost-effective resource collections. Although faculty input is valuable, it is impractical to impose ... -
Long-term effect of insulin on glucose transport and insulin binding in cultured adipocytes from normal and obese humans with and without non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
(East Carolina University, 1987-10)We have tested the hypothesis that in vitro exposure of insulin- resistant adipocytes with insulin results in improved insulin action. A primary culture system of adipocytes from obese subjects with ... -
Rat-bite fever as a cause of septic arthritis: a diagnostic dilemma.
(East Carolina University, 1987-10)Rat-bite fever results from an infection with the organism Streptobacillus moniliformis. Symptomatic patients often present with fever, malaise, cough, maculopapular rash, and occasional arthritis, and usually have a history ... -
Lesional modulation of peripheral monocyte leucotactic responsiveness in leprosy.
(East Carolina University, 1987-11)Because the accumulation and activation of mononuclear phagocytes are critical to the host response to intracellular microbial pathogens, we evaluated mechanisms of peripheral monocyte leucotactic regulation in leprosy. ... -
Regulation of lipoprotein lipase mRNA content in 3T3-L1 cells by tumour necrosis factor.
(East Carolina University, 1988-02-01)Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) was previously shown to suppress lipoprotein lipase (LPL) synthesis and activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The present study examined the effect ofTNF on amounts ofmRNA for LPL in 3T3-Ll cells. ... -
Insulin-like growth factor I binding in hepatocytes from human liver, human hepatoma, and normal, regenerating, and fetal rat liver.
(East Carolina University, 1988-04)Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in human hepatoma cells (HEP-G2) has, in addition to its effect on cell growth, shortterm metabolic effects acting through its own receptor. We have demonstrated that normal ... -
Cecal and fecal bacterial flora of the Mongolian gerbil and the chinchilla.
(East Carolina University, 1988-05)The Mongolian gerbil is being increasingly used as a laboratory animal and as a pet. Both chinchillas and gerbils are used as animal models for otitis media and other otic research. Previously, only incomplete information ... -
An in vitro human muscle preparation suitable for metabolic studies. Decreased insulin stimulation of glucose transport in muscle from morbidly obese and diabetic subjects.
(East Carolina University, 1988-08)We have developed an in vitro muscle preparation suitable for metabolic studies with human muscle tissue and have investigated the effects of obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) on glucose transport. ... -
Thoracic neuroblastoma presenting as a cystic hygroma.
(East Carolina University, 1988-10)A case of thoracic neuroblastoma with extension into the supraclavicular fossa is described. By physical examination and ultrasound the patient was thought to have a cystic hygroma with mediastinal extension. A 'cystic' ... -
Effects of palindromes on in vivo DNA replication and mutagenesis in bacteriophage phi X174 RF DNA.
