An experiment was conducted to evaluate the interactive effects among porcine somatotropin (pST), salbutamol, and dietary lysine on growth performance, nitrogen balance, and carcass characteristics of finishing barrows (n = 32; 62.8 kg initially). Two replicate 32-d studies were set up in a split-plot design to evaluate singular and combined use of pST (0 or 4 mg/d) and salbutamol (0 or 2.75 pp...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effect of psychosocial skills training (PST) on symptomatology, insight, quality of life, and suicide probability in patients with schizophrenia. METHOD The sample consisted of 22 schizophrenic outpatients diagnosed according to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Three PST groups were formed and each group's training lasted approximately 6 months....

PURPOSE Primary systemic therapy (PST) downstages up to 40% of initial documented axillary lymph node (ALN) metastases in breast cancer. The current surgical treatment after PST consists of breast tumor resection and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). This strategy, however, does not eliminate unnecessary ALND in patients with complete remission of axillary metastases. The aim of this study...

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat. Here we report a 110-Mb draft sequence of Pst isolate CY32, obtained using a 'fosmid-to-fosmid' strategy, to better understand its race evolution and pathogenesis. The Pst genome is highly heterozygous and contains 25,288 protein-coding genes. Compared with non-obligate fungal pat...

Sulfations of sugars, such as heparan sulfates (HS), or tyrosines require the universal sulfate donor 3'-phospho-adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to be transported from the cytosol into the Golgi. Metazoan genomes encode two putative PAPS transporters (PAPST1 and PAPST2), which have been shown in vitro to preferentially transport PAPS across membranes. We have identified the C. elegans orthol...

Extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli cause urinary tract infections (UTIs), newborn meningitis, abdominal sepsis and septicemia. UTIs affect millions of women annually, and result in significant health care costs and morbidity worldwide. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) is the predominant urinary tract pathogen, causing up to 85% of UTIs. Despite appropriate therapy, recurrent episode of UTI are com...

Barrows were restrictively fed starting at 20 kg BW to determine the effects of endotoxin on growth performance of control and somatotropintreated pigs. The following treatments were used: 1) daily i.m. vehicle injection until 55 kg BW; 2) daily i.m. injections of 100 mg of recombinant porcine somatotropin (pST)/kg BW, until 55 kg; 3) i.v. saline injections for 7 d consecutively starting at 60 ...

OBJECTIVE To provide preliminary evidence for the impact of problem-solving therapy for diabetes (PST-D) in adults with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetes distress. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a pilot randomized controlled trial, 40 participants with DR and diabetes distress were allocated to the PST-D or control groups. Diabetes distress (DDS), depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), self-care a...

Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant, late-onset neurological disorder and the most common form of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) worldwide. Diagnostic genetic testing is available to detect the disease-causing mutation by direct sizing of the CAG repeat tract in the ataxin 3 gene. Presymptomatic testing (PST) can be used to identify persons at risk of developing the disease. Gen...
