Earlier reports suggested that injecting normal optic nerve into organotypic cerebellar cultures from three of the central nervous system hypomyelinated mutant mice resulted in striking local increases in myelination of mutant axons. It has been questioned whether this myelin was produced by the introduced normal glia because there was no "marker" by which the genotype of an individual myelin s...

BACKGROUND A social health insurance (SHI) program was implemented in Vietnam in 1992. Participation is compulsory for some groups, such as formal-sector workers and voluntary for other groups.

As a result, households face ...

The role of epinephrine and norepinephrine in contributing to the alterations in hepatic glucose metabolism during a 70-h stress hormone infusion (SHI) was investigated in four groups of chronically catheterized (20-h-fasted) conscious dogs. SHI increased glucagon (∼5-fold), epinephrine (∼10-fold), norepinephrine (∼10-fold), and cortisol (∼6-fold) levels. Dogs received either all the hormones (...
