Quality of life and BMI changes in youth participating in an integrated pediatric obesity treatment program
(2013)Background Changes in Quality of Life (QOL) measures over time with treatment of obesity have not previously been described for youth. We describe the changes from baseline through two follow up visits in youth QOL (assessed ... -
QUANTITATION OF INTERCELLULAR CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SPERMATOGONIA IN THE MOUSE
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-09)Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are critical in the male reproductive process, as they can either self-renew or proliferate into progenitor cells that differentiate to enter meiosis and eventually form functional sperm. ... -
Quantitative phosphoproteome analysis of embryonic stem cell differentiation toward blood
(2015-05)Murine embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate in vitro into three germ layers (endodermic, mesodermic, ectodermic). Studies on the differentiation of these cells to specific early differentiation stages has been aided ... -
Quantum dot labeling of mesenchymal stem cells
(East Carolina University, 2007-11-07)Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells with the potential to differentiate into bone, cartilage, fat and muscle cells and are being investigated for their utility in cell-based transplantation ... -
Quinolone signaling in the cell-to-cell communication system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 1999-09-28)Numerous species of bacteria use an elegant regulatory mechanism known as quorum sensing to control the expression of specific genes in a cell-density dependent manner. In Gram-negative bacteria, quorum sensing ... -
Racial difference in Acylation Stimulating Protein (ASP) correlates to triglyceride in non-obese and obese African American and Caucasian women
(East Carolina University, 2009-04-17)Background: Acylation Stimulating Protein (ASP) has been shown to influence adipose tissue triglyceride (TG) storage. The aim was to examine ethnic differences in ASP and leptin levels in relation to lipid profiles and ... -
Racial Differences in Survival among Hemodialysis Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(2013-09)The aim of this study was to examine racial differences in long-term survival among hemodialysis patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). To our knowledge this has not been previously addressed in the literature. ... -
Radiation isocenter measurement devices and methods and 3-D radiation isocenter visualization systems and related methods
(2008-05-25)A three-dimensional phantom assembly for use with a radiation treatment device includes a three-dimensional support member having at least two, spaced apart opposed surfaces configured to hold at least one generally planar ... -
Radioprotective Effect of American Ginseng on Human Lymphocytes at 90 Minutes Post-irradiation: A Study of 40 Cases
(East Carolina University, 2010-05)Backgroundâ Ionizing radiation (IR) initiates intracellular oxidative stress through enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that attack DNA leading to cell death. As the diversity of IR applied in medicine, ... -
Raf-Induced Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Augments Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Infection
(East Carolina University, 2004-12)Recombinant green fluorescent protein encoding Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (rKSHV.152) infection of -estradiol stimulated human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) or HFF/ B-Raf[FF]:ER (expressing a weaker form of ... -
Raman spectroscopy: the gateway into tomorrow's virology
(East Carolina University, 2006-06-28)In the molecular world, researchers act as detectives working hard to unravel the mysteries surrounding cells. One of the researchers' greatest tools in this endeavor has been Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is a ... -
Raman tweezers provide the fingerprint of cells supporting the late stages of KSHV reactivation
(East Carolina University, 2009-08)Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has both latent and lytic phases of replication. The molecular switch that triggers a reactivation is still unclear. Cells from S phase of cell cycle provide apt conditions ...
