| computer simulation of low-density lipoprotein removal in the presence of a bioreactor containing phospholipase a2. | high concentrations of low-density lipoproteins (ldl) in the blood can lead to coronary heart disease, the primary cause of death in the western hemisphere. a new treatment to reduce ldl levels is now being tested on rabbits, which are model animals for hypercholesteremia. the treatment involves using an immobilized enzyme within a bioreactor that is incorporated in an extracorporeal circuit. the enzyme modifies ldl to a form that is much more rapidly removed from the circulation. a mathematical ... | 1995 | 7766097 |

| cytopathology of pregnancy-induced cell patterns in cervicovaginal smears. | considerable interest has been devoted to cytology in pregnancy, especially the morphologic changes that may cause problems in differential diagnosis. it is surprising that the published discussion of the cytologic appearance of smears from pregnant women has been so limited. this review emphasizes that retained trophoblastic tissue may be a source of highly atypical appearing cells in the cervicovaginal cytology obtained under various clinical conditions. distinguishing between arias-stella cel ... | 2000 | 11996172 |
| endometrial involvement by intra-abdominal diffuse malignant mesothelioma. | a 49-year-old patient presented with an adnexal mass. endometrial curettage showed a proliferative phase and suspicious fragment resembling arias stella reaction. laparotomy revealed an extensive nodular intra-abdominal tumor involving the bilateral ovaries. microscopic findings were similar to the suspicious endometrial fragment in the curettage specimen. histochemical and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse malignant mesothelioma with metastasis to the endometrium. t ... | 2004 | 15171327 |
| [cloning of compaction-related gene crg1 of mouse preimplantation embryos]. | a total of 181 8-cell embryos and 241 8-cell compacted embryos were collected respectively from c57bl/6 mouse and their cdna was synthesized by smart-pcr. then pcr productions after ssh were cloned into pucm-t vector according to the size after isolated and purified. choice the positive clones for sequencing after being confirmed with pcr. all fragment cloned were blastered matching in genbank for homology analysis. on the base of this work, we select two ests (genbank accession no.: bq740263 an ... | 2004 | 15195562 |

| activation-induced cytidine deaminase deaminates 5-methylcytosine in dna and is expressed in pluripotent tissues: implications for epigenetic reprogramming. | dna deaminases of the aid/apobec family convert cytosine into uracil and play key roles in acquired and innate immunity. the epigenetic modification by methylation of cytosine in cpg dinucleotides is also mutagenic, but this is thought to occur by spontaneous deamination. here we show that aid and apobec1 are 5-methylcytosine deaminases resulting in a thymine base opposite a guanine. their action can thus lead to c --> t transition mutations in methylated dna, or in conjunction with repair of th ... | 2004 | 15448152 |

| bioactive apocarotenoids annuionones f and g: structural revision of annuionones a, b and e. | the polar bioactive fractions of helianthus annuus cv. stella and sh-222 have yielded eight apocarotenoids, two of them isolated for the first time as natural products (annuionones f and g). the isolation of higher amounts of annuionones a and e allowed us to realize a more comprehensive spectroscopical study. we propose a revised structure for annuionone a, b and e based on careful re-analyses of new spectroscopical data. | 2004 | 15504441 |
| developmental changes in kcc1, kcc2 and nkcc1 mrnas in the rat cerebellum. | cation chloride cotransporters are considered to play pivotal roles in controlling the intracellular and extracellular ionic environments of neurons, hence controlling neuronal function. to establish how these cotransporters are involved in cerebellum development, we investigated the expression of kcc1, kcc2 and nkcc1 mrnas in the developing rat cerebellum using in situ hybridization histochemistry. in the external germinal layer, where premature cells exist, we found substantial kcc1 and nkcc1 ... | 2002 | 12101026 |
| a molecular programme for the specification of germ cell fate in mice. | germ cell fate in mice is induced in proximal epiblast cells by the extra-embryonic ectoderm, and is not acquired through the inheritance of any preformed germ plasm. to determine precisely how germ cells are specified, we performed a genetic screen between single nascent germ cells and their somatic neighbours that share common ancestry. here we show that fragilis, an interferon-inducible transmembrane protein, marks the onset of germ cell competence, and we propose that through homotypic assoc ... | 2002 | 12124616 |
| six-month angiographic and 12-month clinical follow-up of multilink long (25 to 35 mm) stents for long coronary narrowings in patients with angina pectoris. | there are limited prospective angiographic data on stent deployment for long coronary lesions. this multicenter prospective study enrolled 120 patients with a single de novo stenosis >20 mm in length, in a native vessel > or =3 mm diameter, suitable for a multilink stent 25 to 35 mm in length with additional stent deployment if required. quantitative angiography before and immediately after stenting and at 6-month follow-up assessed restenosis for the complete lesion and for 5-mm segments of the ... | 2002 | 12127607 |
