WHITTEN, BERTWELL K., AND GEORGE J. KLAIN. Protein metabolism in hcpatic tissue of hibernating and arousing ground squirrels. Am. J. Phvsiol. 214(6): 1360-1362. 1968.-Protein metabolism in hepBtic tissue of hibernating, arousing, and normothermic ground squirrels, Citellus tridecemlineatus, was assessed by three methods: 1) measurement of alanine-U-W utilization by liver slices; 2) incorporatio...

Background. Dry socket is a global phenomenon. The purpose of the study was to investigate the incidence of dry socket in recent times in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital. Methods. Patients who were referred for dental extractions were included in the study. The case files of patients were obtained and information retrieved included biodata, indication for extraction, number and type of teeth extra...

Using the tip-based continuous indentation process, arrays of three-dimensional pyramidal cavities have been successfully machined on a copper template and the structures were successfully transferred to a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface using a reverse nanoimprinting approach. The structured PDMS surface is coated with a thin Au film, and the final substrate is demonstrated as a surface-en...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of anesthesia type on the risk of in-hospital mortality among adults undergoing hip fracture surgery in the United States. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Premier research database, United States. PARTICIPANTS 73,284 adults undergoing hip fracture surgery on hospital day 2 or greater between 2007 and 2011. Of those, 61,554 (84.0%) received gener...

BACKGROUND We aimed to examine physical trauma as a risk factor for the subsequent diagnosis of MS. METHODS We searched for observational studies that evaluated the risk for developing MS after physical trauma that occurred in childhood (≤20 years) or "premorbid" (>20 years). We performed a meta-analysis using a random effects model. RESULTS We identified 1362 individual studies, of which 3...

We report a fatal intoxication case by the ingestion of an herbicide, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA). A 23-year-old male was found dead in his car. The forensic autopsy revealed no remarkable morphological changes. However, in a toxicological screening test, MCPA was qualitatively detected from the extracts of stomach contents. Then MCPA in the extract of each body fluid and organ t...

BACKGROUND Intraprocedural stent thrombosis (IPST) is a rare event (<0.01% in our experience with bare metal stents), with the exception of specific settings such as acute myocardial infarction, thrombus-containing lesions, and dissections. We report the occurrence of this event during elective implantation of sirolimus-eluting stents. METHODS AND RESULTS Between April 2002 and August 2003, 6...

Zeatin is the most active and ubiquitous form of the naturally occurring cytokinins. Glycosyl conjugates of zeatin are found in many plant tissues and are considered important for storage and protection against degradative enzymes. Two enzymes catalyzing the formation of O-glycosyl derivatives of zeatin have been characterized, O-glucosyltransferase and O-xylosyltransferase, occurring in seeds ...
