| inhibition site of dexamethasone on extravasation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the hamster cheek pouch microcirculation. | a video system was used to investigate the inhibitory effect(s) of the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (dex) on polymorphonuclear leukocyte (pmn) extravasation in the microcirculation of hamster cheek pouch. dex was given intraperitoneally at 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg body weight 2 h before induction of extravasation by topical application of leukotriene b4 (ltb4) or formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fmlp) on the microvasculature. the number, time course, and behavior of pmns were examined in the follo ... | 2006 | 1326021 |

| increase in serum cardiac myosin light chain i associated with elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in patients with ischemic heart disease. | changes in serum myosin light chain i (mlci) due to elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (ptca) were studied after ptca (0, 8 and 48 hours) in 57 patients with old myocardial infarction (mi group) and 20 patients with angina pectoris (ap group). the ap group showed no increase after ptca. in contrast, in the mi group there were 16 patients in whom mlci at 48 hours was increased by 1.0 ng/ml or more (mi1 group) and another group of 41 patients who showed no increase in mlci (mi ... | 2006 | 1489636 |
| evaluating drug prescribing in a large, ambulatory population: application of an embedded expert system. | dur is a process of problem detection and intervention designed to improve the quality and economy of drug prescribing. retrospective dur attempts to detect and address patterns of prescribing that might be indicative of inappropriate therapy. when the process is extended to a largely ambulatory population such as medicaid beneficiaries, a number of complications are introduced due to the large numbers of patients and sparsity of data. in order to examine the impact of implementing a medicaid du ... | 2006 | 1482946 |

| optimal protein-folding codes from spin-glass theory. | protein-folding codes embodied in sequence-dependent energy functions can be optimized using spin-glass theory. optimal folding codes for associative-memory hamiltonians based on aligned sequences are deduced. a screening method based on these codes correctly recognizes protein structures in the "twilight zone" of sequence identity in the overwhelming majority of cases. simulated annealing for the optimally encoded hamiltonian generally leads to qualitatively correct structures. | 2006 | 1594594 |

| a comparative study on the effect of plant extracts with the antibiotics on organisms of hospital origin. | thirty five plants belonging to twenty families were studied for their antimicrobial activity. among the plants tested, 43 % showed antimicrobial activity. fifteen plants belonging to 10 families exhibited activity against gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria. four plants namely azadirachta indica, garadenia jasminoides, magnifera indica, and wrightia tinctora showed an appreciable activity against the gram positive bacteria and seven plants against gram negative organisms. leaf ext ... | 2006 | 22557227 |

| pauciconfibula subsolana n. sp. (monogenea: microcotylidae) from morone americana (perciformes: percichthyidae) collected in fresh water in new brunswick, canada. | pauciconfibula subsolana n. sp. (monogenea: microcotylidae) is proposed for parasites found on the inner surface of the operculum of morone americana collected in the freshwater reaches of the saint john river, near mactaquac, new brunswick. pauciconfibula subsolana is differentiated from other species in the genus by the 2 posterolateral clamp sclerites, each of which is composed of 2 distinct sections, and by the absence of appendages on the eggs. an amended generic diagnosis is provided for p ... | 2006 | 1779293 |

| androgen effects on the development of the zebra finch song system. | in adult zebra finches, males sing and females do not. this behavioral sex difference is associated with sex differences in brain regions that control singing. treatment of hatchling females with androgen causes permanent masculinization of neuron number in the robust nucleus of the archistriatum (ra), a brain region involved in song. we have re-examined the possible permanent effects of androgen on the zebra finch song system by treating male and female hatchlings with silastic implants contain ... | 2006 | 1797353 |

| tooth contact patterns in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction. | the occlusal tooth contact patterns in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction and normal subjects were studied under a range of conditions using a newly devised radiotelemetry system. the patterns in the patient group were completely different from those in the control group. during rest or work, the patients showed higher values for total number and time of tooth contacts, as well as several contacts of extended duration. moreover, many of the tooth contacts during swallowing were plural c ... | 2006 | 1800694 |

| [central serous retinopathy (atypical forms)]. | in comparison with the typical forms of the central serous chorioretinopathy (cscr), atypical forms are characterized by an older age, the presence of multiple and bilateral foci, the higher tendency for recurrence and the more accentuated functional damages. they may take the form of drpe (diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy) and of gravitational epitheliopathy. sedative therapy is justified by the particular psychic background which often accompanies this disease. photocoagulation must be p ... | 2006 | 1817714 |

| positional accuracy of four die tray systems. | this study evaluated the positional accuracy of dies with four die tray systems. the die trays were: (1) accu*trac precision die system, (2) model-tray system, (3) sterdo split model tray, and (4) tricodent one*cast die tray system. positional change of the dies was measured by using an olympus binocular scanning tunneling microscope (stm). positional change of the dies was the difference between preremoval and postremoval die position. results show that all four die tray systems are not signifi ... | 2006 | 1941672 |
