Trichinella spiralis nudix hydrolase (TsNd) gene encoding a 46 kDa protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and the potential of recombinant TsNd protein (rTsNd) as an antigen for the serodiagnosis of trichinellosis was investigated by ELISA and compared with those of ELISA with T. spiralis muscle larval excretory–secretory (ES) antigens. The sensitivity of both ELISA was 100% (30/30), for the...

Dust samples (n=75) were collected from shopping malls, hotels and libraries in Singapore and then analyzed using Mold Specific Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (MSQPCR) for the 36 molds that make up the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI). Most of these molds (23/36) occur at similar rates in Singapore and the United States. A Singapore Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (S...

Childrenundergoingcranial radiation therapy (CRT) for pediatric central nervous system malignancies are at increased risk for neurological deficits later in life.Wehavedevelopedamodel of neurotoxicdamage in adultDrosophila following irradiation during the juvenile stages with the goal of elucidating underlying neuropathological mechanisms and of ultimately identifying potential therapeutic targ...

Tanshinol has desirable antianginal and pharmacokinetic properties and is a key compound of Salvia miltiorrhiza roots (Danshen). It is extensively cleared by renal excretion. This study was designed to elucidate the mechanism underlying renal tubular secretion of tanshinol and to compare different ways to manipulate systemic exposure to the compound. Cellular uptake of tanshinol was mediated by...

These are rather condensed notes, not really proofread or edited, presenting key definitions and results of the course that I taught in Winter 2010 term. Problems marked by ◦ are easy and basic, problems marked by ∗ may be difficult. Typeset by AMS-TEX 1
