Dose de-escalation of intrapleural tissue plasminogen activator therapy for pleural infection. The alteplase dose assessment for Pleural infection Therapy project [PDF]
Rationale: Intrapleural therapy with a combination of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) 10 mg and DNase 5 mg administered twice daily has been shown in randomized and open-label studies to successfully manage over 90% of patients with pleural infection ...

Genetic Studies of Sulfadiazine-resistant and Methionine-requiring \u3cem\u3eNeisseria\u3c/em\u3e Isolated From Clinical Material [PDF]
Deoxyribonucleate (DNA) preparations were extracted from Neisseria meningitidis (four isolates from spinal fluid and blood) and N. gonorrhoeae strains, all of which were resistant to sulfadiazine upon primary isolation.

Lipid peroxidation is a nonparenchymal cell event with reperfusion after prolonged liver ischemia [PDF]
A proposed mechanism for irreversible ischemic liver damage has been peroxidation of membrane phospholipids by free radicals. However, the hepatocyte is laden with enzymes which are antioxidants and, therefore, ought to be relatively resistant to ...

The molecular basis for genetic polymorphism of human deoxyribonuclease I: identification of the nucleotide substitution that generates the fourth allele [PDF]
In addition to the three alleles commonly responsible for the protein polymorphism of human deoxyribonuclease I, a mutation encoded by a fourth allele, DNASEI*4, was detected by isoelectric focusing.

Chemical and rheological aspects of gel formation in the California Mastitis Test [PDF]
The rheological properties of the CMT gel were analysed. Data are presented to demonstrate that the gel is a non-homogenous, visco-elastic, non-Newtonian fluid with rheopectic, and rheodestructive behaviour.

The entry of diphtheria toxin into the mammalian cell cytoplasm: evidence for lysosomal involvement [PDF]
Lysosomotropic amines, such as ammonium chloride, are known to protect cells from the cytotoxic effects of diphtheria toxin. These drugs are believed to inhibit the transport of the toxin from a receptor at the cell exterior into the cytoplasm where a ...

Metabolomic profiles are gender, disease and time specific in the interleukin-10 gene-deficient mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease. [PDF]
Metabolomic profiling can be used to study disease-induced changes in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in the metabolomic profile of males and females as they developed IBD.

TREX1 DNA exonuclease deficiency, accumulation of single stranded DNA and complex human genetic disorders [PDF]
Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) is an unusual condition that clinically mimics a congenital viral infection. Several genes have recently been implicated in the aetiology of this disorder. One of these genes encodes the DNA exonuclease TREX1. Recent work

Correlation of intrinsic DNA curvature with DNA property periodicity [PDF]
Twelve di- and trinucleotide parameter sets representing various structural, thermodynamic or bendability-related properties of DNA were tested in the prediction of DNA curvature applying Fourier analysis on curved and straight, A/T-type or G/C-type DNA ...

Electrochemical Assay for deoxyribonuclease I Activity [PDF]
A thiolated oligonucleotide having three ferrocenes was immobilized on a gold electrode through the sulfur–gold linkage. This electrode showed a current response based on the redox reaction of the ferrocene moieties and this response was decreased after ...
