Kupffer cell activation by lipopolysaccharide in rats: Role for lipopolysaccharide binding protein and toll-like receptor 4
(W.B. SaundersWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2000-04)
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding protein (LBP) is a key serum factor that mediates LPS activation of mononuclear cells. In the presence of LBP, 1/1,000 the concentration of LPS is sufficient to activate peripheral blood ...
Allogeneic and Autologous Melanoma Vaccines: Where have we been and where are we going?
(2006-04)
The past three decades have seen substantial research on vaccines for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and the prevention of recurrence following resection. Despite their enormous promise, the actual results have been ...
Bombesin-Stimulated Acetylcholine Release from Myenteric Plexus Neurons
(Elsevier, 1993-05)
The ability of bombesin to stimulate acetylcholine release from guinea pig myenteric plexus neurons was studied using a primary neuronal culture system. Bombesin caused dose-dependent increases in [3H]acetylcholine (ACh) ...

(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2007-08)
To determine the healthcare costs of acute and chronic pain associated with herpes zoster. DESIGN : Retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING : Inpatient and outpatient care. PARTICIPANTS : Patients were selected from Medicare, ...
A Message from the President of The International Society for Artificial Organs

CTLA-4 blockade augments human T lymphocyte-mediated suppression of lung tumor xenografts in SCID mice
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-10)
Previous studies by others using transplantable murine tumor models have demonstrated that the administration of antibodies that block CTLA-4 interaction with B7 can provoke the elimination of established tumors, and that ...
Distal chromosome 17q loss in Barrett's esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinomas: Implications for tumorigenesis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-08)
The molecular genetic mechanisms underlying esophageal cancer are poorly understood. However, a novel gene that may be involved in esophageal carcinogenesis was recently localized by others to distal 17q by linkage analysis ...
Scintigraphy of incidentally discovered bilateral adrenal masses
(Springer-Verlag, 1995-04)
The purpose of this study was to determine the patterns of iodine-131 6β-iodomethylnorcholesterol (NP-59) imaging and the correlation with computed tomography (CT)-guided adrenal biopsy and follow-up in patients with ...
Absence of complement-mediated events after protamine reversal of heparin anticoagulation
(Elsevier, 1991-07)
Protamine reversal of heparin anticoagulation is associated with adverse hemodynamic effects that may be attenuated with protamine pretreatment (PP). This study assesses the role of complement activation during these ...
High glucose inhibits human epidermal keratinocyte proliferation for cellular studies on diabetes mellitus
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2005-12)
In order to more clarify the delayed wound healing in diabetes mellitus, we cultured the human epidermal keratinocytes in both 6 mM (control group) and 12 mM glucose (high-glucose group) of ‘complete’ MCDB 153 medium. ...
