Real-Time Measurement of Thin Film Thickness During Plasma Processing
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-12)
An in situ single point two-color laser interferometer is used to monitor in real-time the thickness of thin transparent films during processing. The instantaneous change of film thickness is determined by comparing the ...
Clocinnamox inhibits the intravenous self-administration of opioid agonists in rhesus monkeys: comparison with effects on opioid agonist-mediated antinociception
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-02)
The effects of CCAM, an insurmountable mu opioid receptor antagonist, were studied on the intravenous self-administration and thermoantinociception of alfentanil and nalbuphine, high- and low-efficacy opioid agonists, ...
Wortmannin Blocks Goldfish Retinal Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase and Neurite Outgrowth
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-04)
The goldfish retina has been used extensively for the study of nerve regeneration. A role for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in neurite outgrowth from goldfish retinal explants has been examined by means of wortmannin ...
Purification and characterization of a new mannose-specific lectin from Sternbergia lutea bulbs
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
A new mannose-binding lectin was isolated from Sternbergia lutea bulbs by affinity chromatography on an α(1-2)mannobiose-Synsorb column and purified further by gel filtration. This lectin (S. lutea agglutinin; SLA) appeared ...
A goldfish Notch-3 homologue is expressed in neurogenic regions of embryonic, adult, and regenerating brain and retina
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997)
Members of the Notch gene family are thought to be involved in the regulation of cell fate decisions in a variety of embryonic tissues, particularly in the developing central nervous system (CNS) in Drosophila and ...
Effects of metal ions on osteoblast-like cell metabolism and differentiation
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-01)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of metal ions, which may be released from orthopedic or dental implants, on osteoblast metabolism and differentiation. ROS 17/2.8 cells were cultured in F-12 medium ...
Lipid-Dependent Modulation of Ca 2+ Availability in Isolated Mossy Fiber Nerve Endings
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-10)
An enhancement of glutamate release from hippocampal neurons has been implicated in long-term potentiation, which is thought to be a cellular correlate of learning and memory. This phenomenom appears to be involved the ...
Postural effects on peritoneal transport and systemic uptake of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-06)
To optimize the regional delivery advantage with i. p. administration of monoclonal antibody (mAb) for radioimmunotherapy, it may be possible to delay the rate and extent of mAb absorption from the peritoneal cavity by ...
ACE Inhibitors in Heart Failure: Prospects and Limitations
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-05)
ACE inhibitors have been shown to be effective in reducing the morbidity and mortality of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, but their application to clinical practice in this situation is still limited. ...
Myoglobin models and steric origins of the discrimination between O 2 and CO
(Springer-Verlag; Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 1997-08)
Synthetic models of the myoglobin active site have provided much insight into factors that affect CO and O 2 binding in the proteins. "Capped" and "pocket" metal porphyrin systems have been developed to probe how steric ...
