Carroll, Robert E., Kristina A. Matkowskyj, Subrata Chakrabarti, Thomas J. McDonald, and Richard V. Benya. Aberrant expression of gastrin-releasing peptide and its receptor by well-differentiated colon cancers in humans. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 39): G655– G665, 1999.—Epithelial cells lining the adult human colon do not normally express gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) o...

BACKGROUND Gibberellin-regulated protein (GRP, also known as peamaclein) was recently identified as a new marker allergen related to systemic reactions in peach allergy; however, its role in other fruit allergies is unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate the allergenicity of Japanese apricot (JA) GRP and clarify the clinical characteristics of JA allergy patients with GRP sensitization. METHODS ...

Water distribution systems present a significant challenge for structural monitoring. They comprise a complex network of pipelines buried underground that are relatively inaccessible. Maintaining the integrity of these networks is vital for providing clean drinking water to the general public. There is a need for in-situ, on-line monitoring of water distribution systems in order to facilitate e...

OBJECTIVE Bombesin (BN) and the mammalian homologue gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) are known trophic factors, neurotransmitters and paracrine hormones. BN/GRP has not previously been demonstrated in synovial fluid. In this study, the amounts of BN/GRP and substance P (SP) present in synovial fluid from the knee joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and of healthy controls were meas...

Abstract The acoustic propagation characteristics of axisymmetric waves have been widely used in leak detection fluid-filled pipes. related methods and equipment are gradually coming to the market, but their theoretical research obviously lags behind field practice, which seriously restricts breakthrough innovation this technology. Based on fully three-dimensional effect surrounding medium, a c...

INTRODUCTION Ejaculation is a complex reflex mediated by a spinal ejaculation generator located in the lumbosacral spinal cord and consisting of a population of lumbar spinothalamic (LSt) neurons. LSt neurons and their intraspinal axonal projections contain several neuropeptides, including gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP). AIM To test the hypothesis that GRP is critically involved in mediating...

Buried and operating district heating (DH) pipes are exposed to thermal degradation of their polyurethane (PUR) insulation over time, status is hard assess without excavation. By using DH pipe valves in manholes as measurement points during a shutdown with an ensuing cooling period, non-destructive assessments can be performed. This study compares new improved field measurements numerical simul...
