| [peptidergic and monoaminergic innervation of the gonads in the holothurian cucumaria japonica]. | in the holothurian gonad structure of the peptidergic and monoaminergic systems has been described. axons of their cells form tissue and hemal terminals. epithelial cells and smooth myocytes of the gonadal wall get direct innervation, having contacts with the axonal terminals that are separated by the cleft 50-75 nm in the diameter. it is possible that neuropeptides and biogenic monoamines are transported to the germ and follicular cells of the germinative gonadal zone via hemolymph of the hemal ... | 2012 | 3415487 |
| staff turnover as a function of performance in a public residential facility. | the relationship between employee turnover and performance was measured for 144 leavers and 144 stayers across 32 positions in a large institution for mentally retarded people. performance ratings for employees leaving the organization were significantly lower than for those who stayed. these performance differences occurred most significantly with involuntary dismissals and among direct-care technicians who comprise a major part of the institution's work force. the overall results suggest that ... | 2012 | 3434588 |
| treatment of the borderline patient, relationship management. | the author suggests that not the borderline syndrome itself but many of the worst behaviours of borderline patients are essentially iatrogenic. to do no harm should be the primary goal of any therapist encountering a patient exhibiting borderline features. management of the patient-therapist relationship is paramount and may be in itself the most effective and safe treatment for both crisis situations and longer therapy. a conceptual model borrowing from and bridging self psychology and interper ... | 2012 | 3409153 |

| two cell surface proteins bind the sponge microciona prolifera aggregation factor. | two extracellular matrix cell surface proteins which bind the proteoglycan-like aggregation factor from the marine sponge microciona prolifera (maf) and which may function as physiological receptors for maf were identified and characterized for the first time. by probing nitrocellulose blots of nonreducing sodium dodecyl sulfate gels containing whole sponge cell protein with iodinated maf, a 210- and a 68-kda protein, which have native molecular masses of approximately 200-400 and 70 kda, were i ... | 2012 | 3372540 |

| pseudophakic cystoid macular edema: a revised comparison of the incidence with intracapsular and extracapsular cataract extraction. | a previous study by one of the authors found no significant difference in the incidence of cystoid macular edema with an intracapsular cataract extraction and the implantation of an iris-supported posterior chamber optic lens, compared with the incidence of cystoid macular edema with an extracapsular extraction and the implantation of a shearing lens. to test the validity of that conclusion, the charts of 686 patients operated on by one of the authors were reviewed. it was determined that the in ... | 2012 | 3347455 |
