A possible dose–response association between distance to farmers’ markets and roadside produce stands, frequency of shopping, fruit and vegetable consumption, and body mass index among customers in the Southern United States
(2017-01)
Background: The association between farmers’ market characteristics and consumer shopping habits remains
unclear. Our objective was to examine associations among distance to farmers’ markets, amenities within farmers’
markets, ...
Rituximab therapy in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis improves alveolar macrophage lipid homeostasis
(2012)
Rationale
Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) patients exhibit an acquired deficiency of biologically active granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) attributable to GM-CSF specific autoantibodies. PAP ...
Histological and immunohistochemical features of the spleen in persistent polyclonal B-cell lymphocytosis closely mimic splenic B-cell lymphoma
(2012)
Persistent polyclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (PPBL) is rare and intriguing hematological disorder predominantly reported in young to middle- aged smoking women. It is characterized by persistent moderate polyclonal B-cell ...
Mediastinal neoplasms in patients with Graves disease: a possible link between sustained hyperthyroidism and thymic neoplasia?
(2012)
Background
Anterior mediastinal masses are a rare but well documented finding in Graves disease. The vast majority of these lesions represents benign thymic hypertrophy and regress after treatment of the hyperthyroidism. ...
Unusual reticulin staining pattern in well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma
(2011)
Background
Special stains, such as reticulin stain and CD34 immunostain, are very helpful in the diagnosis of well differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Most studies have shown that absent or decreased reticulin ...
Characterization of FtrABCD: a ferrous iron-specific transporter that is required for the virulence of Brucella abortus 2308 in mice
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-21)
Brucella strains are Gram-negative bacteria that cause abortion and infertility in their natural animal hosts resulting in extensive economic losses. Humans can acquire a chronic, debilitating febrile illness known as ...
Molecular mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration: emerging roles of microRNAs
(2013-02)
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that suppress gene expression through target mRNA degradation or translation repression. Recent studies suggest that miRNA plays an important role in multiple physiological and pathological ...
Why Does Exercise “Trigger� Adaptive Protective Responses in the Heart?
(2015-05)
Numerous epidemiological studies suggest that individuals who exercise have decreased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Pre-clinical studies in animal models also find clear cardioprotective phenotypes in animals that ...
Control of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Growth by Connexin 43
(2012-06)
Connexin 43 (Cx43), the principal gap junction protein in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), regulates movement of ions and other signaling molecules through gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and plays ...
