The mechanism by which the angiotensin I (AI) converting enzyme inhibitor SQ20,881 (<GluTrp-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gln-Ile-Pro-Pro) blocks the pressor response to exogenous AI was studied in mo in the intact anesthetized dog. When administered as a single dose 250 times that of Injected AI (250 nmoles/kg) into either the pulmonary or systemic circulation, SQ20,881 produced inhibition of pulmonary conversi...

The set A of nonnegative integers is called a basis of order h if every nonnegative integer can be represented as the sum of exactly h not necessarily distinct elements of A. An additive basis A of order h is called thin if there exists c > 0 such that the number of elements of A not exceeding x is less than cx1/h for all x ≥ 1. This paper describes a construction of Shatrovskĭi of thin bases o...

Background: Routine diagnostic methods of Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) are invasive and can cause exposure to radiation and may increase risk of urinary tract infections. Therefore, introducing reliable, non invasive methods might be more interested in pediatric nephrology. The objective of this perspective case control study was to evaluate the prognostic value of urinary neutrophil-gelatinase ...

Let h≥2 and let A=(A1,…,Ah) be an h-tuple of sets integers. For nonzero integers c1,…,ch, consider the linear form φ=c1x1+c2x2+⋯+chxh. The representation function RA,φ(n) counts number h-tuples (a1,…,ah)∈A1×⋯×Ah such that φ(a1,…,ah)=n. A is a φ-Sidon system multiplicity g if RA,φ(n)≤g for all n∈Z. every positive integer g, Fφ,g(n) denote largest q there exists withAi⊆[1,n]and|Ai|=q i=1,…,h. It ...

Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R94–R103, 1999.—Plasma plateletactivating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) hydrolyzes PAF and oxidized phospholipids and is associated with lip...

AIMS To investigate the presence of soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) and soluble Fas (sFas) in ocular fluid of patients with uveitis. METHODS Samples of aqueous humour (AH, n=17), vitreous fluid (n=9), and serum (n=60) were collected from patients with uveitis which included Behçet's disease, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, sarcoidosis, human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) uveitis, sympathetic ...
