We tested the hypothesis that the mitochondrial form of superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) protects the cerebral vasculature. Basilar arteries (baseline diameter ~140 μm) from mice were isolated, cannulated and pressurized in order to measure vessel diameter. In arteries from C57BL6 mice preconstricted with U-46619, acetylcholine (Ach, an endothelium-dependent vasodilator) produced dilation that was...

Beijing experiences air pollution such that the sky overhead is gray much of the time even on cloudless days. In order to understand the cause of this problem, the aerosol light scattering coefficient Cysp and absorption coefficient (Jap were measured under dry conditions (instrumental relative humidity < 40%) during a 1-week intensive field sampling period in June 1999 in Beijing, China. Addit...

UNLABELLED H2 influenza viruses have not circulated in humans since 1968, and therefore a significant portion of the population would be susceptible to infection should H2 influenza viruses reemerge. H2 influenza viruses continue to circulate in avian reservoirs worldwide, and these reservoirs are a potential source from which these viruses could emerge. Three reassortant cold-adapted (ca) H2 p...
