Influence of the site of small bowel resection on intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-01)
Massive small bowel resection (SBR) results in a significant increase in intestinal epithelial cell (EC) proliferation as well as apoptosis. Because the site of SBR (proximal (P) vs. distal (D)) affects the degree of ...
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 ...
A modified operation for Hirschsprung's disease: Posterior longitudinal anorectal split with a “heart-shaped” anastomosis
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-04)
A variety of complications can arise after the definitive pull-through operation for Hirschsprung's disease. Among these are constipation and soiling, which may be due to mismanagement of the internal anal sphincter. In ...
Too Much Ado about Instrumental Variable Approach: Is the Cure Worse than the Disease?
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2009-11)
Objective: To review the efficacy of instrumental variable (IV) models in addressing a variety of assumption violations to ensure standard ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates are consistent. IV models gained popularity ...
THE VALUE TO THE SURGEON OF PARATHYROID HORMONE ASSAYS IN PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1988-05)
Immunogenetic Therapy of Human Melanoma Utilizing Autologous Tumor Cells Transduced to Secrete Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, 2000-04-10)
We performed a clinical study of five patients with melanoma to evaluate the immunobiological effects of retrovirally transduced autologous tumor cells given as a vaccine to prime draining lymph nodes. Patients were ...
Comprehensive analysis of proteins of pH fractionated samples using monolithic LC/MS/MS, intact MW measurement and MALDI-QIT-TOF MS
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2007-03)
A comprehensive platform that integrates information from the protein and peptide levels by combining various MS techniques has been employed for the analysis of proteins in fully malignant human breast cancer cells. The ...
Duodenal gastrinomas, duodenotomy, and duodenal exploration in the surgical management of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
(Springer-Verlag; Springer International, 1993-07)
Studies have shown that the duodenum is a more common site (30–40%) of primary gastrinomas than previously reported. These tumors are often occult to conventional exploration, and their detection requires duodenotomy and ...
A continuous flow probe method for on‐line introduction of liquid samples for detection by laser desorption with resonant two‐photon ionization in supersonic beam mass spectrometry
(The American Institute of Physics, 1991-04)
A continuous flow probe is used as a direct inlet source for injection of liquid samples into a time‐of‐flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. The direct liquid inlet is coupled to laser desorption as a means of rapidly vaporizing ...
