The effects of prostaglandin E1 on mean pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa):cardiac index (Q) relationships were investigated in eight anaesthetized dogs, ventilated in hyperoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) 0.4) and in hypoxia (FiO2 0.1). Cardiac output was increased by opening an arterio-venous femoral bypass or reduced by stepwise inflations of a balloon in the inferior vena cava. Five-po...

Let X1 t1 , X 2 t2 , · · · ,X N tN be N independent Lévy processes in IR d with their respective Lévy exponents Ψj, j = 1, 2, · · · , N . The random field Xt = X 1 t1 +X 2 t2 + · · ·+X N tN , t = (t1, t2, · · · , tN ) ∈ IR N + is called the additive Lévy process. Let λd denote Lebesgue measure in IR . Define E1 + E2 = {x+ y : x ∈ E1, y ∈ E2} for any two sets E1, E2 of IR . The following theorem...

To determine the importance of dengue 2 virus (DEN2V) envelope (E) protein glycosylation, virus mutants in one or both of the N-linked glycosylation motifs were prepared. We found that while the E2 mutant virus (N153Q) replicated in mammalian and mosquito cells, the E1 (N67Q) and E1/2 (N67Q and N153Q) mutant viruses were unable to grow in mammalian cells. Infection of C6/36 mosquito cells with ...

Two distinct types of cDNA clones encoding for the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) E1 beta subunit were isolated from a human liver lambda gt11 cDNA library and characterized. These cDNA clones have identical nucleotide sequences for PDH E1 beta protein coding region but differ in their lengths and in the sequences of their 3'-untranslated regions. The smaller cDNA had an unusual polyadenylation s...

BACKGROUND-AIM To evaluate the prognostic role of elaborate molecular clusters encompassing cyclin D1, cyclin E1, p21, p27 and p53 in the context of various breast cancer subtypes. METHODS Cyclin E1, cyclin D1, p53, p21 and p27 were evaluated with immunohistochemistry in 1077 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from breast cancer patients who had been treated within clinical trials. Jacc...

environmental variables, including soil water content (swc), act as constraints on crop growth and productivity. therefore, open air (e0), perforated (e1) and non-perforated (e2) plastic housings were used with well-watered (w0), moderately-watered (w1) and water-stressed (w2) bush bean plants to explore the relationships between water-use efficiency (wue), carbon isotope discrimination (δ) and...

The general objective of this study was to evaluate the antivenom effect minerals from two plants on some vital organs (heart, liver, kidneys and lungs) rabbits. It carried out with 36 rabbits (19 males 17 females) divided into portions E1, E2 E3. E1 consisted 2 control lots (3 3 females), 1 experimental lot (2 female). comprised 7 batches E3 females. Naja nigricollis venom injected for approxi...
