Red cells preserved with 10% hydroxyethyl starch: Effect of prefreeze washing
(Elsevier, 1975-10)
Prefreeze washing of red cells with saline and other wash solutions before freezing with 10% hydroxyethyl starch does not yield an improved product after thawing. The saline stabilities and cell recoveries are reduced and ...
Studies of Posttranslational Modifications in Spiny Dogfish Myelin Basic Protein
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-05)
The objective of this investigation was to determine whether nonmammalian myelin basic protein contained charge isomers resulting from extensive posttranslational modifications as seen in mammalian MBP. Four charge isomer ...
Longitudinal psychological assessment in tetralogy of Fallot
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1989-06)
To determine whether preoperative psychological testing in children with cyanotic heart disease could provide an accurate estimate of adult performance, we studied 21 subjects (mean age, 30.3±4.8 years) who had undergone ...
Intercellular calcium waves in cultured enteric glia from neonatal guinea pig
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-05)
Enteric glia are important participants in information processing in the enteric nervous system. However, intercellular signaling mechanisms in enteric glia remain largely unknown. We postulated that intercellular calcium ...
Immunologic response to cryoablation of breast cancer
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-03)
Purpose .With improvements in breast imaging and image-guided interventions, there is interest in ablative techniques for breast cancer. Cryosurgery initiates inflammation and leaves tumor-specific antigens intact, which ...
Constitutive activation of pp125fak in newly isolated human breast cancer cell lines
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-03)
Our laboratory has developed twelve human breast cancer cell lines from primary and metastatic sites. In this report we demonstrate that eight of eight breast cancer cell lines examined exhibit constitutively tyrosine ...
Galanin inhibits rat pancreatic amylase release via cholinergic suppression
(Elsevier, 1992)
The effects of galanin on pancreatic exocrine function were examined using rat pancreatic tissues. In anesthetized rats, galanin (40 [mu]g/kg/h) decreased amylase secretion stimulated by 2-deoxy glucose (5.8 +/- 0.1 vs. ...
Reliability of physical examination of the upper extremity among keyboard operators
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-04)
Background Physical examination is a traditional outcome measure in epidemiological research. Its value as a reliable measure depends, in part, on the prevalence of positive findings. The purpose of this paper is to ...
Clinicopathologic features of metastasis in nonsentinel lymph nodes of breast carcinoma patients
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-12-01)
BACKGROUND In breast carcinoma patients with a positive sentinel lymph node (SN), the value of complete axillary lymph node dissection has been questioned. Multiple published reports have attempted to identify clinicopathologic ...
Large unit red cell cryopreservation with hydroxyethyl starch
(Elsevier, 1976-10)
Full units of red blood cells frozen with 14% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) yield cell recoveries near 97% and saline stabilities greater than 80%. Potassium leaves the cells during the freeze-thaw cycle and increases the ...
