Tenascin-Y was identified in chicken as a novel member of the tenascin (TN) family of ECM proteins. Like TN-C, TN-R, and TN-X, TN-Y is a multidomain protein consisting of heptad repeats, epidermal growth factor-like repeats, fibronectin type III-like (FNIII) domains and a domain homologous to fibrinogen. In contrast to all other known TNs, the series of FNIII domains is interrupted by a novel d...

Lung injury induced by bleomycin is associated with early inflammation and subsequent excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. In the present study, we investigated the expression of extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin (TN) during pulmonary injury induced by bleomycin. After the initial lung injury induced by intratracheal bleomycin instillation, TN and collagen type III (COL III) m...

1 Let Tn denote a tree of order n and Wm a wheel of order m+1. In this paper, we show the Ramsey 2 numbers R(Tn , W6) = 2n − 1 + μ for n ≥ 5, where μ = 2 if Tn = Sn, μ = 1 if Tn = Sn(1, 1) or 3 Tn = Sn(1, 2) and n ≡ 0 (mod 3), and μ = 0 otherwise; R(Tn , W7) = 3n − 2 for n ≥ 6. 4 © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Human cancer cell lines A431 and MCF7, which do not produce tenascin (TN) in vitro, were found to produce TN when injected into nude mice or co-cultured with the embryonic mesenchyme. The TN expression in the developing A431 solid tumor was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and by in situ hybridization. Human TN was detected in culture media by western blot analysis using human specific mono...

OBJECT Microvascular decompression (MVD) has become one of the primary treatments for typical trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Not all patients with facial pain, however, suffer from the typical form of this disease; many patients who present for surgical intervention actually have atypical TN. The authors compare the results of MVD performed for typical and atypical TN at their institution. METHOD...
