The Influence of Iron on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Physiology: A regulatory link between iron and quorum sensing
(East Carolina University, 2008-06-06)In iron-replete environments, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Fur (ferric uptake regulator) protein represses expression of two small regulatory RNAs encoded by prrF1 and prrF2. Here we describe the effects of iron and PrrF ... -
Influence of linguistic context and working memory on auditory comprehension in young and older adults with aphasia
(East Carolina University, 2010)The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the influence of linguistic context on auditory comprehension in adults with aphasia, explore effects of the explanatory variables of age, working memory (WM), aphasia ... -
INFLUENCE OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES ON MAST CELL AND MACROPHAGE UPTAKE AND ACTVATION: ROLE OF SCAVENGER RECEPTOR B1
(East Carolina University, 2018-04-09)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in consumer products and the medical field for their antimicrobial properties. Some studies reported toxic effects of AgNPs but cellular uptake of AgNPs and AgNP-induced ... -
The influence of the level of physical activity and human development in the quality of life in survivors of stroke
(2011)Background The association between physical activity and quality of life in stroke survivors has not been analyzed within a framework related to the human development index. This study aimed to identify differences in ... -
The Influence of Vocabulary Type and Complexity on Rapid Automatized Naming Tasks (RAN/RAS) in Children with Reading Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2012)The present study was a pilot investigation that examined the role of vocabulary level and task type in rapid automatized naming tasks (RAN/RAS) in 15 adolescent children (ages 10-13) with average reading abilities and ... -
Influences on transition to practice outcomes among new nurses
(East Carolina University, 2013)This research explored the investigation of influences on transition to practice outcomes among new graduate nurses in a nurse residency program. The study participants consisted of 641 nurse residents from the Versant RN ... -
Informational Odds Ratio: A Useful Measure of Epidemiologic Association in Environment Exposure Studies
(2012)The informational odds ratio (IOR) measures the post-exposure odds divided by the pre-exposure odds (ie, information gained after knowing exposure status). A desirable property of an adjusted ratio estimate is collapsibility ... -
Ingredients, alcohol level figure into drinks' nutrition information
(2024-01-24)This is a weekly Q and A newspaper column under the byline of Dr. Kathy Kolasa. Today's column is looking at the specific nutritional contents of alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, and spirits. -
Inhibition by rapamycin of ornithine decarboxylase and epithelial cell proliferation in intestinal IEC-6 cells in culture
(East Carolina University, 1997-02)1 Induction of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) appears to be controlled primarily at the level of ODC mRNA translation. The immunosuppressant drug, rapamycin, blocked the induction of ODC in response to serum ... -
Inhibition of Cdk2 activity decreases Aurora-A kinase centrosomal localization and prevents centrosome amplification in breast cancer cells
(2013-05)Centrosome amplification plays a key role in the origin of chromosomal instability (CIN) during cancer development and progression. In this study, MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines harboring abrogated p53 function (vMCF-7DNp53) ... -
Inhibition of Cdk2 kinase activity selectively targets the CD44/CD24 stem-like subpopulation and restores chemosensitivity of SUM149PT triple-negative breast cancer cells
(2014-09)Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is an angioinvasive and most aggressive type of advanced breast cancer characterized by rapid proliferation, chemoresistance, early metastatic development and poor prognosis. IBC tumors ... -
The inhibition of CHO-K1-BH4 cell proliferation and induction of chromosomal aberrations by brevetoxins in vitro
(East Carolina University, 2006-07)Brevetoxins (PbTxs) are highly potent trans-syn polyether neurotoxins produced during blooms of several species of marine dinoflagellates, most notably Karenia brevis. These neurotoxins act on voltage-sensitive sodium ... -
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 ...
