As measured by [(3)H]thymidine uptake, spleen cells of mice injected 7 d previously with a single dose of cyclophosphamide (Cy) (125 mg x kg (-1)) gave an enhanced response to dextran sulfate (DS), a diminished response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and a normal response to concanavalin A. Addition of syngeneic thymocytes to spleen cells inhibited the enhanced response of the cells to DS and sli...

Han:SPRD Cy is a spontaneous rat model of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) caused by a missense mutation in Pkdr1. Cystogenesis in this model is not clearly understood. In the current study, we performed global gene expression profiling in early-stage PKD cyst development in Cy/Cy kidneys and normal (+/+) kidneys at 3 and 7 days of postnatal age. Expression profiles were determined by microarray...

Five-coordinate rhenium(I) hydride complexes of the type [Re(Br)(H)(NO)(PR3)2] (R = Cy 1a, iPr 1b) were reacted with terminal alkynes R1C�CH (R1 = Ph, SiEt3, H), yielding 18-electron �2alkyne adducts [Re(Br)(H)(NO)(PR3)2(�2-HC�CR1)] (R1 = Ph (R = Cy 2a, iPr 2b), SiEt3 (R = Cy 4a, iPr 4b), H (R = Cy 6a, iPr 6b)). Alkyne insertion into the Re−H bond led to the formation of rhenium(I) �1-vinyl der...

In order to timi out which anticancer drugs could utilize to the best advantage a syngeneic bone marrow transplantation in high-dose chemo therapy for cancer, we tested six drugs {nimustine hydrochloride (ACNU), Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide (CY), mitomycin c, vindesin, etoposide) in Sprague-Dawley rats from a standpoint of the beneficial effect of bone marrow transplantation (BMI). Two or three...

BACKGROUND Experience using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from matched sibling donors (MSD) or unrelated donors (UD) is limited and with controversial results. The study aim was to evaluate PT-Cy as GVHD prophylaxis post-HSCT from MSD and UD transplants. We analyzed 423 patients with acute ...

Forty-four taxa of three sections (Cinnamomeae (=Rosa) 26, Chinenses 8 and Gallicanae 10) and eight modern garden roses in the genus Rosa were surveyed for their floral anthocyanins. Eleven anthocyanins: 3-glucosides and 3,5-diglucosides of cyanidin (Cy), pelargonidin (Pg) and peonidin (Pn), 3-rutinosides and 3-rho-coumaroylglucoside-5-glucosides of Cy and Pn, and Cy 3-sophoroside, were isolate...

Carthamin yellow (CY), which is a flavonoid compound isolated from safflower, has various pharmacological effects including promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and alleviating pain. CY is a herb used in Chinese traditional medicines. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common spinal disorder and degeneration of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and inflammation are significant ...

Inhibitors, activators, and substrates of cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks) utilize a cyclin-binding sequence, known as a Cy or RXL motif, to bind directly to the cyclin subunit. Alanine scanning mutagenesis of the Cy motif of the cdk inhibitor p21 revealed that the conserved arginine or leucine (constituting the conserved RXL sequence) was important for p21's ability to inhibit cyclin E-cdk2 act...

OBJECTIVE To explore how content analysis can be used together with linking rules to link texts on assessment and intervention to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health - version for children and youth (ICF-CY). METHODS Individual habilitation plans containing texts on assessment and intervention for children with disabilities and their families were linked to ...

Cy or RXL motifs have been previously shown to be cyclin binding motifs found in a wide range of cyclin-Cdk interacting proteins. We report the first kinetic analysis of the contribution of a Cy motif on a substrate to phosphorylation by cyclin-dependent kinases. For both cyclin A-Cdk2 and cyclin E-Cdk2 enzymes, the presence of a Cy motif decreased the K(m(peptide)) 75-120-fold while the k(cat)...
