cx-AMINO ACIDS IN CHILDREN

The determination of the total content of free a-amino acids in urine has become routine in paediatric practice in numerous diseases. Interest in aminoaciduria has greatly increased since it became known that many congenital metabolic disorders are accompanied by an increased excretion of free oc-amino acids in the urine (Paine, 1960; Woolf, 1961). The excretion of free a-amino-N is usually exp...

Effects of the CK2 Inhibitors CX-4945 and CX-5011 on Drug-Resistant Cells

CK2 is a pleiotropic protein kinase, which regulates many survival pathways and plays a global anti-apoptotic function. It is highly expressed in tumor cells, and is presently considered a promising therapeutic target. Among the many inhibitors available for this kinase, the recently developed CX-4945 and CX-5011 have proved to be very potent, selective and effective in inducing cell death in t...

Splitting of certain spaces CX

There are a number of theorems to the effect that spaces of the form Q. n 11 n X split stably into wedges of simpler spaces when X is connected (by which we mean pathwise connected). The proofs generally proceed by exploitation of combinatorially manageable approximations for Q. n *L n X. The earliest theorem of this kind is due to Milnor(18), who exploited the semi-simplicial version of the Ja...

STUDIES ON THE Cx-REACTIVE PROTEIN

Young adult rabbits (2 to 3 kg.) were subjected to a single total body exposure of x-radiation ranging from 50 to 1200 r and tested frequently for the presence of Cx-reactive protein in their blood. It usually appeared in two phases separated by an interval of several days. The primary phase occurred 24 to 48 hours after irradiation in almost all (92 of 97) rabbits exposed to 500 r or more and ...
