drosophila adh: a promoter element expands the tissue specificity of an enhancer.	drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) genes are expressed in the fat body and in species-specific sets of other tissues during larval and adult development. the drosophila mulleri adh-1 gene is expressed in the larval fat body and in three other larval tissues. in this paper, we show that adh-1 expression in multiple cell types is the result of synergistic interactions between fat body-specific enhancers and a specific adh-1 promoter element.	2012	3365768

results of fractional lengthening of the finger flexors in adults with upper extremity spasticity.	flexor spasticity is common in the upper extremity after insult to the central nervous system. this leads to decreased function and hygiene problems as a result of the inability to extend the fingers. the results of fractional lengthening of the finger flexors of 27 patients with upper extremity flexor spasticity of the finger flexors were examined. patients were divided preoperatively into those with potentially functional hands and those who were nonfunctional based on the presence of motor co ...	2012	3611656
[effect of anaprilin on the humoral and cellular immune response].	the immunosuppressive effect of anaprilin on humoral and cellular responses was established during experiments on mice. the influence of the drug on the phenomenon of hypersensitivity of delayed type begins to be revealed at the lower dose of the drug (0.5 mg/kg) as compared with the inhibitory action of the beta-adrenoblocker on antibody formation (1 mg/kg).	2012	3609279

serum myoglobin levels in patients with ischemic myocardial insult.	serum myoglobin levels were studied in 178 consecutive patients admitted for chest pain due to ischemic cardiac injury. serum myoglobin level was compared with the clinical condition, electrocardiographic changes, and serum creatine kinase levels. elevated serum myoglobin concentration was present in all patients with acute myocardial infarction, as defined by world health organization, geneva, criteria, and, in addition, in about 50% of patients with so-called acute coronary insufficiency. on t ...	2012	3401097
cytogenetic abnormalities among spontaneously aborted previable fetuses.	we have reviewed spontaneously aborted fetuses of 9 to 20 developmental weeks. all fetuses with either external or internal developmental defects and those with maternal history of repeated spontaneous abortion were studied cytogenetically. among 723 fetuses the cytogenetically proven prevalence of chromosome abnormalities was 5.8%. inclusion of suspected chromosome abnormality based on morphologic findings resulted in an overall prevalence of only 7.1%. this prevalence and restricted spectrum o ...	2011	3130845
characterization of regional left ventricular contraction by curvature difference analysis.	a method which characterizes the contraction of the left ventricle (lv) by changes in the lv endocardial contour curvatures is presented. a normalized curvature difference function (ncdf) is defined by the difference between the (normalized) curvature functions of end diastolic (ed) and end systolic (es) contours. unlike wall-motion based procedures, ncdf is independent of any reference system and of the method used for ed-es shape alignment. normal and pathological diagnosis criteria were first ...	2011	3233092
the ascertainment sampling problem and estimation of genetic parameters when parental haplotypes are known.	comparisons of bias and standard errors of genetic parameter estimates arising from various estimation procedures are made by using contrived genetic data in which parental haplotypes are known in addition to the haplotypes of affected sibs. these comparisons show that knowledge of parental haplotypes can reduce standard errors of genetic parameter estimates by between 10% and 45% as compared to estimates when parental information is not available. the added information does not appear to change ...	2011	3232696

The iron-responsive Fur/RyhB regulatory cascade modulates the Shigella outer membrane protease IcsP.	Actin-based motility is central to the pathogenicity of the intracellular bacterial pathogen Shigella. Two Shigella outer membrane proteins, IcsA and IcsP, are required for efficient actin-based motility in the host cell cytoplasm, and the genes encoding both proteins are carried on the large virulence plasmid. IcsA triggers actin polymerization on the surface of the bacterium, leading to the formation of an actin tail that allows both intra- and intercellular spread. IcsP, an outer membrane pro ...	2011	21859852
