One hundred twenty pigs (initially 44 kg BW) were used to determine the effects of genotype, sex, and dietary lysine on subprimal cut yields and carcass quality. Within genotype (high or medium potential for lean tissue gain), barrows and gilts were fed separately either a .90 or .70% lysine diet until the mean weight of each pen of three pigs reached 104 kg. Then one pig was removed and dietar...

Most cancer vaccines induce CTL responses to tumor-associated antigens (TAA). Killing of tumor cells occurs through TAA-specific CTL-mediated cytolysis. Here, we show that one preventive followed by two therapeutic immunizations with an attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (LM)-based vaccine eradicates all metastases and almost the entire primary tumor in the syngeneic, aggressive mouse breast tum...

Recently, we showed that caveolin-1 (cav1) knockout mice (Cav1(-/-) mice) have impaired nitric oxide (NO) function in the longitudinal muscle (LM) layer of the small intestine. The defect was a reduced responsiveness of the muscles to NO compensated by an increase in the function of apamin-sensitive, nonadrenergic, noncholinergic (NANC) mediators. In the present study, we examined similarly the...

When an undulating surface bearing a painted texture is illuminated the resulting shading pattern produces in-phase modulations of the mean luminance (LM) and luminance amplitude (AM) of the texture. Experimentally, in-phase combinations of LM and AM (LM+AM) are seen as undulating surfaces whereas anti-phase combinations (LM-AM) are more ambiguous; being seen as undulating when presented alone ...

Histologic sections of the left main (LM) and the other three major coronary arteries were studied in 152 patients. The lumen of the LM in 35 patients was greater than 75% narrowed; in thirty, 50-75%; and in 87, less than 50% narrowed. The patients with greater than 75% narrowing were younger. Angina pectoris and hyperlipoproteinemia, specifically type II, were more common (P less than 0.02) an...

The cortex of Tetrahymena contains a regular array of longitudinal microtubular bands (lms) next to basal body rows running from pole to pole. The lm exhibits a predominant unidirectionality in assembly. The direction of regeneration following breakage of the microtubules is from posterior to anterior of the cell. When the lm and the accompanying basal body row are rotated 180 degrees (inverted...

Dear Editor, Lentigo maligna (LM) is a form of melanoma in situ that occurs on sun exposed skin, particularly the head and neck areas, of elderly patients.1 A clinical diagnosis of LM at an early stage is often diffi cult, even for experienced dermatologists as benign lesions such as solar lentigo and seborrheic keratosis may have similar clinical features. Dermoscopy has been shown to be a val...
