MCF-7 breast cancer cells transfected with protein kinase C-alpha exhibit altered expression of other protein kinase C isoforms and display a more aggressive neoplastic phenotype.
(East Carolina University, 1995-04)
Increased protein kinase C (PKC) activity in malignant breast tissue and positive correlations between PKC activity and expression of a more aggressive phenotype in breast cancer cell lines suggest a role for this signal ...
Neurogenic switching: a hypothesis for a mechanism for shifting the site of inflammation in allergy and chemical sensitivity.
(East Carolina University, 1995-01)
Neurogenic switching is proposed as a hypothesis for a mechanism by which a stimulus at one site can lead to inflammation at a distant site. Neurogenic inflammation occurs when substance P and other neuropeptides released ...
Phorbol esters induce death in MCF-7 breast cancer cells with altered expression of protein kinase C isoforms. Role for p53-independent induction of gadd-45 in initiating death.
(East Carolina University, 1995-10)
Protein kinase C (PKC) modulates growth, differentiation, and apoptosis in a cell-specific fashion. Overexpression of PKC-a in MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7-PKC-a cell) leads to expression of a more transformed phenotype. ...
Postvaccinial (influenza) disseminated encephalopathy (Brown-Sequard syndrome).
(East Carolina University, 1995-09)
This article reports a case of Brown-Sequard syndrome that occurred in a patient following the administration of trivalent influenza vaccine. The patient responded well to intravenous steroids and physical therapy. This ...
Clinical differences between pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis: a 5-year retrospective study.
(East Carolina University, 1995-03)
This article describes the clinical, epidemiologic, laboratory, and treatment characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in Eastern North Carolina, a primarily rural area. The ...
Healthy Habits for Healthy Living
(1995)
This is a patient education brochure designed to describe the development of food habits of the people of eastern North Carolina (written in collaboration with Kristen Borree, PhD, anthropology. It then localizes the ...
