Characterization of gastrin amidation in the rat and porcine antrum: comparison with the pituitary
(Elsevier, 1990-04-24)
The formation of biologically active gastrin from glycine-extended processing intermediates occurs via the action of a peptide [alpha]-amidating enzyme. The observation that gastrin exists primarily as unamidated precursors ...
Reversibility of Serum Removal Effects on IGF-II mRNA in Human Neuroblastoma Cells
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1993-08)
Hepatitis A—New information on an old virus
(W.B. SaundersWiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1992-10)
An outbreak of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provided the opportunity to examine the duration of HAV excretion in infants and the mechanisms by which HAV epidemics are propagated ...
Predictors of postoperative outcome after general surgical procedures in patients with congenital heart disease
(Elsevier, 1994-07)
This study was undertaken to evaluate factors predictive of postoperative outcome after general surgical (GS) procedures in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). All patients with a diagnosis of CHD who underwent ...
Post-translational processing of gastrin in neoplastic human colonic tissues
(Elsevier, 1992-12-15)
Gastrin has been postulated to stimulate proliferation in colorectal neoplasms. Although gastrin mRNA has been demonstrated to be present in colon cancer cell lines, the intact peptide had not been recovered from human ...
Effects of serum and insulin-like growth factors on human neuroblastoma cell growth
(Elsevier, 1993-10-20)
Insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) are mitogenic polypeptides expressed in both developing and adult tissues. To examine the effects of IGFs on neuronal growth, we used SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells as an in vitro ...
NF1-related locus on chromosome 15
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
A neurofibromatosis type I (NF1)-related locus has been identified on chromosome 15. It contains a partial copy of the NF1 GAP-related domain, which is known to interact with the ras protooncogenes. However, the chromosome ...
Neoral induction in pediatric renal transplantation
(Springer-Verlag; IPNA - International Pediatric Nephrology Association New York, USA, 1998-01)
Neoral was instituted in pediatric renal transplant patients with the hypothesis it would have more predictable kinetics than Sandimmun. However, significant questions have arisen concerning potential toxicity and dosing ...
Comparison of a low osmolarity nonionic radiographic contrast agent with a standard medium on renal function in cyanotic and normal dogs
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-01)
Renal dysfunction may follow administration of iodinated radiographic contrast agents. This complication may be less common when low osmolarity nonionic agents are used. Although potential benefits from the use of low ...
