The strong coupling a, has been measured using hadronic decays of 2° bosons co~ected by the SLD experiment at SLAC. The data were compared with QCD predictions both at fixed order, O(a~ ), and including resummed analytic formulae based on the leading and next-toleading logarithm approximation. We studied event shapes, jet rates, particle correlations, and energy fraction and checked the consist...

I have used the transfer of primed lymphocytes into syngeneic irradiated recipients to investigate whether the persistence of antigen is required in the long-term maintenance of cytolytic T cell memory to influenza virus. Animals were immunized with influenza virus (A/WSN) and used 17 wk later as either donors for T cells or as lethally irradiated recipients. Naive age-matched mice served as co...

Binding of stigmatellin, an inhibitor of the Q(o) site of the bc-type complexes, has been shown to induce large conformational changes of the Rieske protein in the respiratory bc(1) complex (Kim, H., Xia, D., Yu, C. A., Xia, J. Z., Kachurin, A. M., Zhang, L., Yu, L., and Deisenhofer, J. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 95, 8026-8033; Iwata, S., Lee, J. W., Okada, K., Lee, J. K., Iwata, M....

The pulmonary vasoconstrictor, thromboxane, may contribute to the development of pulmonary hypertension. Our objective was to determine if a combined thromboxane synthase inhibitor/receptor antagonist, terbogrel, prevents pulmonary hypertension and the development of aberrant pulmonary arterial responses in newborn piglets exposed to 3 days hypoxia. Piglets were maintained in room air (control)...

1. Peter Brinson What is the take-home message of the final chapter in Democracy and the Market, entitled “The Political Dynamics of Economic Reform”? In the chapter, Przeworski is primarily concerned with showing the potential economic changes and dynamics that can accompany the transition from a command to a capitalist economy and the political dynamics that are inextricably tied up in the pr...

Sunitinib malate (Sutent, Pfizer inc., New York, NY) is an orally administered, multitargeted inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, stem cell factor receptor (KIT), fms-like ty‐ rosine kinase (FLT) -3, CSF-1R, and RET. Since the introduction of sunitinib for patients with advanced renal tumor ...

When assayed on promastigotes of 10 American Leishmania isolates (including Leishmania brasiliensis and mexicana species), 4-aminopyrazolopyrimidine (AAP) was severalfold more active than allopurinol as a leishmanistatic drug. There were some intraspecific and interspecific differences among the isolates in their susceptibility to the inhibitory effects of APP and allopurinol. APP-2'-deoxyribos...

CYP2C8 plays important roles in metabolizing therapeutic drugs and endogenous compounds. Although genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C8 were reported, there is little information on CYP2C8 polymorphisms in the Japanese population. In the present study, we screened for previously described polymorphisms in the coding region of this gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length...
