The nucleotide sequence of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyrE-crc-rph region and the purification of the crc gene product.
(East Carolina University, 1996-10)
The gene (crc) responsible for catabolite repression control in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been cloned and sequenced. Flanking the crc gene are genes encoding orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (pyrE) and RNase PH (rph). ...
Oxytocin Modulation of Zebra Finch Vocal Development
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Autism spectrum disorder is associated with deficits in three main behavioral areas: social behaviors, repetitive behaviors, and language abnormalities. Accumulating evidence suggests a potential role for oxytocin signaling ...
Role of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes α4β2 and α7 in nicotine-ethanol interaction and cross-tolerance: functional correlation with cerebellar nitric oxide
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The prevalent co-abuse of alcohol and tobacco products results in higher morbidity and mortality rates than those caused by either drug alone, thus posing a serious health problem. Understanding the interactive relationship ...
Identification, cloning and functional characterization of novel beta-defensins in the rat (Rattus norvegicus)
(East Carolina University, 2006-02-04)
Background
beta-defensins are small cationic peptides that exhibit broad spectrum antimicrobial properties. The majority of beta-defensins identified in humans are predominantly expressed in the male reproductive tract ...
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, ...
The effect of fasting on the activation in vivo of the insulin receptor kinase.
(East Carolina University, 1990-02-01)
Fasting causes insulin resistance in liver and fat, and increases insulin sensitivity in muscle. We studied the response in vitro and in vivo to insulin of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in muscle and liver from 72 ...
Tinigible Body Macrophages in Regulation of Germinal Center Reactions
(East Carolina University, 1998)
Tingible body macrophages (TBM), long thought simply as scavengers of apoptotic lymphocytes, are located in the unique microenvironment of germinal centers in close proximity to antigen-retaining follicular dendritic cells ...
Prenatal diagnosis of a giant intracranial teratoma associated with pulmonary hypoplasia.
(East Carolina University, 1993-10)
We present a case in which an intracranial tumour replacing all intracranial contents was diagnosed by sonography at 31 weeks' gestation. The patient was delivered by caesarean section and died shortly after delivery. At ...
Response to Kuhse
(East Carolina University, 2002-08)
In this short paper, we respond to critics of our original paper, The agony of agonal respiration: is the
last gasp necessary?. A common thread in both Hawryluckâ s and Kuhseâ s responses is the difficulties
encountered ...
Vanadium pentoxide induces pulmonary inflammation and tumor promotion in a strain-dependent manner
(East Carolina University, 2010-04-12)
Background: Elevated levels of air pollution are associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Particulate matter (PM)
contains transition metals that may potentiate neoplastic development through the induction of oxidative ...
