Inhibition of contraction and myosin light chain phosphorylation in guinea-pig smooth muscle by p21-activated kinase 1
(East Carolina University, 2003-06-01)The p21-activated protein kinases (PAKs) have been implicated in cytoskeletal rearrangements and modulation of non-muscle contractility. Little, however, is known about the role of the PAK family members in smooth muscle ... -
Inhibition of histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity by HBZ extends beyond the p300/CBP HAT family
(2014)We previously reported that HTLV-1 basic leucine zipper factor (HBZ) interacts with the cellular coactivator p300 in cells derived from ATL patients. We further determined that HBZ directly binds to the histone acetyltransferase ... -
Inhibition of Nischarin Expression Attenuates Rilmenidine-Evoked Hypotension and Phosphorylated Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 Production in the Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla of Rats
(East Carolina University, 2008-01)Imidazoline (I1)-evoked hypotension is linked to enhanced phosphorylated extracellular signalregulated kinase (pERK)1/2 production in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). Recent cell culture findings suggest that ... -
Inhibition of Quorum Sensing by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa dksA Homologue
(East Carolina University, 2001-03)The Pseudomonas aeruginosa las (lasR-lasI) and rhl (rhlR-rhlI) quorum-sensing systems regulate the expression of several virulence factors, including elastase and rhamnolipid. P. aeruginosa strain PR1-E4 is a lasR deletion ... -
Inhibition of Stuttering from Second Speech Signals: An Evaluation of Temporal and Hierarchical Aspects
(East Carolina University, 2012)Stuttering is an intermittent and involuntary speech disorder overtly characterized by syllable repetitions, phoneme prolongations and postural fixations that disrupt the natural flow of speech. Overt stuttering is reduced ... -
Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle growth via signaling crosstalk between AMP-activated protein kinase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase
(2012-10)Abnormal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) growth is central in the pathophysiology of vascular disease yet fully effective therapies to curb this growth are lacking. Recent findings from our lab and others support growth control ... -
Initial Characterization of the FlgE Hook High Molecular Weight Complex of
(2014)The spirochete periplasmic flagellum has many unique attributes. One unusual characteristic is the flagellar hook. This structure serves as a universal joint coupling rotation of the membrane-bound motor to the flagellar ... -
Initiating Practice Guidelines for Postpartum Depression Screening at Well-Child Visits
(2014-11-21)Purpose: This project examined the process of initiating postpartum depression (PPD) screening via a PPD protocol at 2 month well-child visit in four pediatric/family practice offices in a rural North Carolina county. The ... -
Initiating Vital Signs in an Outpatient Physical Therapy Practice: Incorporating Interprofessional Care
(2020-04-17)This DNP project implemented vital sign screenings at a physical therapy clinic prior to starting physical therapy, based on the Guide to Physical Therapy Practice recommendation. The literature review showed that many ... -
Innovations in Health Sciences Librarianship
(2013-11)A presentation on innovations in the delivery of library services for students and faculty in the health sciences. -
Inpatient Management of Acute Hypertension
(2015-12-01)Abstract One of every 4 patients admitted to U.S hospitals has hypertension. Few hypertension guidelines address the management of inpatient hypertension. The body of evidence suggests that management of hypertension ... -
Insertional activation of cepA leads to high-level beta-lactamase expression in Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates.
(East Carolina University, 1994-07)Bacteroides fragilis is an important opportunistic pathogen of humans and is resistant to many drugs commonly used to treat anaerobic infections, including P-lactams. A strain set comprised of B. fragilis isolates producing ... -
Insights Into Elevated Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions In Sickle Cell Disease: Comparisons of Hydroxyurea-treated and Non-treated Young Children
(East Carolina University, 2006)Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were examined in 15 normal- hearing African-American children between the ages of 6 and 14 years with homozygous sickle cell disease (SCD), who were on a regimen of hydroxyurea ... -
Instituting Change in Blood Clot Prophylaxis Protocol for Perioperative Patients
(2022-04-22)Perioperative blood clots are a common, preventable occurrence in the healthcare setting. Patients undergoing surgery are at high risk for developing a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolus (PE) for a variety ... -

Insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle is determined by glucose transporter (Glut4) protein level.
(East Carolina University, 1990-09-01)Glucose transport in skeletal muscle is mediated by two distinct transporter isoforms, designated muscle/adipose glucose transporter (Glut4) and erythrocyte/HepG2/brain glucose transporter (Glutl), which differ in both ... -
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 ... -
Insulin/IGF1-PI3K-dependent nucleolar localization of a glycolytic enzyme – phosphoglycerate mutase 2, is necessary for proper structure of nucleolus and RNA synthesis
(2015-07)Phosphoglycerate mutase (PGAM), a conserved, glycolytic enzyme has been found in nucleoli of cancer cells. Here, we present evidence that accumulation of PGAM in the nucleolus is a universal phenomenon concerning not only ...
