Analysis of conventional germ-line or tissue-specific gene manipulation in vivo is potentially confounded by developmental adaptation of animal physiology. We aimed to adapt the technique of in vivo electrotransfer (IVE) to alter local gene expression in skeletal muscle of rodents as a means of investigating the role of specific proteins in glucose metabolism in vivo. We utilized a square-wave ...

We repor t the modula t ion of the solu t ion rheology of a comblike, hydrobhobica lly modified a lka li-soluble emulsion (HASE) associa t ive polymer through addit ion of Rand !-cyclodext r ins (CDs). The r ing-shaped CDs with hydrophobic inner cores in teract with the pendant macromonomer segments of the associa t ive polymer conta in ing hydrophobic end groups, leading to reduct ion in polym...

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a leading cause of death worldwide. A better understanding of the role of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, which are both important to TB protection, is essential to unravel the mechanisms of protection and to identify the key antigens seen by these T cells. We have recently identified a set of in vivo expressed Mtb genes (IVE-TB) whi...

Obj ect ive: To determine if permanent pacemaker implants (PPM) intervent ions and change of generator are more eficient in small hospitals. Design: A cost -effect ive analysis and ret rospect ive, cross-sect ional and observat ional study of diagnost ic related groups (DRG). Set t ing: The data was obtained from the nat ional Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS) for the year 2007 provided by the Heal...
