Characterization of Damping Properties in 3D Printed Structures
(2018-12-01)Current research on the effectiveness of a subordinate oscillator array (SOA) as a broadband mechanical filter relies on adequate knowledge of the SOAs material properties. Recent studies have shown a high sensitivity ... -
Characterization of METTL16 as a cytoplasmic RNA binding protein
(2020-01-15)mRNA modification by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in many post-transcriptional regulation processes including mRNA stability, splicing and promotion of translation. Accordingly, the recently identified mRNA ... -
Characterization of proteins binding the 3′ regulatory region of the IL-3 gene in IL-3-dependent and autocrine-transformed hematopoietic cells
(1998-03-08)Previously we documented the prolongation of the IL-3 mRNA half-life in an autocrine-transformed cell line. This cell line has an intracisternal type A particle transposition in the IL-3 mRNA 3′ untranslated region which ... -
Characterization of Wet-Heat Inactivation of Single Spores of Bacillus Species by Dual-Trap Raman Spectroscopy and Elastic Light Scattering
(2010-03)Dual-trap laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy (LTRS) and elastic light scattering (ELS) were used to investigate dynamic processes during high-temperature treatment of individual spores of Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, ... -
Characterizations of Cross-Bridges in the Presence of Saturating Concentrations of MgAMP-PNP in Rabbit Permeabilized Psoas Muscle
(1998-06)Several earlier studies have led to different conclusions about the complex of myosin with MgAMP-PNP. It has been suggested that subfragment 1 of myosin (S1)-MgAMP-PNP forms an S1-MgADP-like state, an intermediate between ... -
Chinese Americans’ Views and Use of Family Health History: A Qualitative Study
(2016-09-20)Objective Family health history (FHH) plays a significant role in early disease detection and preven- tion. Although Asian Americans are the fastest growing U.S. immigrant group, no data exists regarding Chinese Americans’ ... -
Chlorpromazine reduces avoidance performance deficit in rats with dorsomedial thalamic lesions
(2013-11-08)Rats with bilateral lesions of the dorsomedial area of the thalamus were shown to have a significant performance deficit on the acquisition of a one-way active shock-avoidance task relative to sham-operated controls. ... -
Chromosome evolution in Cophomantini (Amphibia, Anura, Hylinae)
(2018-02-14)The hylid tribe Cophomantini is a diverse clade of Neotropical treefrogs composed of the genera Aplastodiscus, Boana, Bokermannohyla, Hyloscirtus, and Myersiohyla. The phylogenetic relationships of Cophomantini have been ... -
Circulating B cells in type 1 diabetics exhibit fewer maturation-associated phenotypes
(2017-10)Although autoantibodies have been used for decades as diagnostic and prognostic markers in type 1 diabetes (T1D), further analysis of developmental abnormalities in B cells could reveal tolerance checkpoint defects that ... -
The claudin family of proteins in human malignancy: A clinical perspective
(2013-10-07)Tight junctions, or zonula occludens, are the most apical component of the junctional complex and provide one form of cell–cell adhesion in epithelial and endothelial cells. Nearly 90% of malignant tumors are derived from ... -
Claudin-7 Modulates Cl− and Na+ Homeostasis and WNK4 Expression in Renal Collecting Duct Cells
(2019-07-30)Claudin-7 knockout (CLDN7−/−) mice display renal salt wasting and dehydration phenotypes. To address the role of CLDN7 in kidneys, we established collecting duct (CD) cell lines from CLDN7+/+ and CLDN7−/− mouse kidneys. ... -
Claudin‑7 modulates cell‑matrix adhesion that controls cell migration, invasion and attachment of human HCC827 lung cancer cells
(2018-12-31)Claudins are a family of tight junction proteins, and serve important roles in epithelial barrier, selective ion transports and cancer metastasis. Although the exact role of claudin-7 in human lung cancer has not been ... -
Clinical and echocardiographic predictors of mortality in acute pulmonary embolism
(2016-10-28)Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of adding quantitative assessments of cardiac function from echocardiography to clinical factors in predicting the outcome of patients with acute pulmonary embolism ... -
Clinical assessment of medical students in the Emergency Department, A National Consensus Conference
(2017-01)BACKGROUND The clinical assessment of medical students in the emergency department (ED) is a highly variable process in which clerkship directors (CD) create and use institution-specific tools, many with unproven reliability ... -
Clinical Outcomes by Race and Ethnicity in the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT): A Randomized Clinical Trial
(2017-08-23)BACKGROUND: The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) showed that targeting a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of ≤ 120 mm Hg (intensive treatment) reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) events compared to SBP ... -
Clinical use of rifampicin during routine reporting of rifampicin susceptibilities: a lesson in selective reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility data
(1997-10)Increased use of rifampicin for in-patients was noted after the laboratory began reporting rifampicin susceptibilities routinely for all Gram-positive bacterial isolates. The appropriateness of rifampicin use was evaluated ... -
Cloning and Characterization of Ancylostoma-secreted Protein
(1996-03-22)The developmentally arrested third stage infective larva of hookworms resumes development upon entry into the definitive host. This transition to parasitism can be modeled in vitro by stimulating infective larvae with a ... -
Cloning of a catabolite repression control (crc) gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, expression of the gene in Escherichia coli, and identification of the gene product in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
(1991-11)Mutants which are defective in catabolite repression control (CRC) of multiple independently regulated catabolic pathways have been previously described. The mutations were mapped at 11 min on the Pseudomonas aeruginosa ... -
