aged 26, a brass moulder, was knocked down by a tram car and run over. On admission to the hospital on June 20th, 1884, immediately after the accident,

This TRAM contains a IMST800 transputer and 4Mb of DRAM. It is sold by Inmos as an 'off-the-shelf' component for use as a building block.

Vision impairment from corneal fibrosis is a common consequence of irregular corneal wound healing after injury. Intermediate-conductance calmodulin/calcium-activated K+ channels 3.1 (KCa3.1) play an important role in cell cycle progression and cellular proliferation. Proliferation and differentiation of corneal fibroblasts to myofibroblasts can lead to corneal fibrosis after injury. KCa3.1 has...

In view of the problems present in construction process embedded track structure modern tram, we have designed a Novel Fastener Type Ballastless Track (NFTBT) for tram. To optimize size NFTBT’s structure, finite element model tram running stage is built, mechanical characteristics are calculated, and geometric parameters systematically studied. The research results as follows: (1) As slab incre...

Conjugative transfer of the Ti plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens is controlled by a quorum-sensing system composed of TraR and its signal N-(3-oxo-octanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone. This system is, in turn, controlled by the conjugative opines produced by crown gall tumors induced on plants by the bacteria. Using nonpolar traI mutants, we examined the kinetics of induction of conjugative trans...

The antimycotic clotrimazole, a potent inhibitor of the intermediate-conductance calcium-activated K(+) channel, IKCa1, is in clinical trials for the treatment of sickle cell disease and diarrhea and is effective in ameliorating the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. However, inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes by clotrimazole limits its therapeutic value. We have used a rational design strate...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To assess pain and activity limitations and to determine realistic goals for recovery after a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap breast reconstruction in a standard rehabilitation and recovery program. Assessing patient satisfaction with educational information is a secondary objective. DESIGN Before and after comparison. SETTING A National Cancer Instit...

The sources of genetic alterations that underlie phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) during stenosis have recently been the subject of intense study. It is becoming increasingly clear that transcriptional control of ion channels plays an important role not only in expression of the differentiated phenotype, but also in the development and maintenance of the proliferativ...

Background: The use of a bipedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap in breast reconstructions has required the prophylactic use of mesh in the lower seg ment of the hypogastrium, because of the frequency of bulging and herniations in the middle to long term. This study aims to record a technical procedure routinely used in breast recons­ tructions: bipedicled TRAM flap with...
