The Autographa californica multinucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) ie-1 gene product (IE-1) is thought to play a central role in stimulating early viral transcription. IE-1 has been demonstrated to activate several early viral gene promoters and to negatively regulate the promoters of two other AcMNPV regulatory genes, ie-0 and ie-2. Our results indicate that IE-1 negatively regul...

We have developed a number of replication defective adenoviral (Ad) vectors which express transgenes under the control of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate early (IE) gene promoter. The orientation of the expression cassette replacing E1 in the vector backbone had a significant effect on the level of transgene expression, with vectors containing expression cassettes directed towards th...

In the current study, a novel method to improve nano-entrapment of enzymes into Ca-alginate gel was investigated determine synergistic effects ultrasound combined with microwave shock (UMS). The UMS treatment on dextranase enzymes’ loading effectiveness (LE) and immobilization yield (IY) were investigated. By using FT-IR spectra SEM, microstructure immobilized enzyme (IE) characterized. Additio...

To determine the impact of early surgical intervention on long-term survival in patients with infective endocarditis (IE), charts of all patients who had IE from January 1987 through December 1996 were reviewed. A total of 252 patients with definite or possible IE were included. Forty-four patients (17.5%) had early surgery on median hospital day 2 (range, 0-30 days), and 208 patients (82.5%) r...

Cognitive-behavioral treatments for panic disorder (PD) emphasize interoceptive exposure (IE) to target anxiety sensitivity (AS) but vary considerably in its manner of delivery. This randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of the low-dose delivery of IE exercises often prescribed in treatment protocols to an intensive form of IE hypothesized to optimize inhibitory lear...
