451 Beckerle, Mary C.Cytoskeleton-associated PDZ-LIM protein, ALP, acts on serum response factor activity to regulate muscle differentiationIn this report, an antisense RNA strategy has allowed us to show that disruption of ALP expression affects the expression of the muscle transcription factors myogenin and MyoD, resulting in the inhibition of muscle differentiation. Introduction of a MyoD expression construct into ALP-antisense cells...Skeletal muscle; PDZ-LIM protein; Actin; Actinin-associated LIM proteins; Serum response factor; Cytoskeletal architecture2007
452 Beckerle, Mary C.Muscle LIM proteins are associated with muscle sarcomeres and require dMEF2 for their expression during Drosophila myogenesisA genetic hierarchy of interactions, involving myogenic regulatory factors of the MyoD and myocyte enhancer-binding 2 (MEF2) families, serves to elaborate and maintain the differentiated muscle phenotype through transcriptional regulation of muscle-specific target genes.LIM domains; Cysteine-rich proteins1999
453 Wen, MingRacial and ethnic differences in general health status and limiting health conditions among American children: parental reports in the 1999 National Survey of America's FamiliesObjectives: This research investigates the association between race/ethnicity and child health and examines the role of family structure, family SES, and healthcare factors in this association. Five major racial/ethnic groups in the United States are studied. Two child health outcomes including pare...Socioeconomic status; Health care; Children; Race; Ethnicity2006-09-01
454 Poulter, Charles Dale; Davis, Darrell R.15N-labeled tRNA. Identification of 4-thiouridine in Escherichia coli tRNASer1 and tRNATyr2 by 1H-15N two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.Uridine is uniquely conserved at position 8 in elongator tRNAs and binds to A14 to form a reversed Hoogsteen base pair which folds the dihydrouridine loop back into the core of the L-shaped molecule. On the basis of 1H NMR studies, Hurd and co-workers (Hurd, R. E., Robillard, G. T., and Reid, B. R. ...Magnetic resonance spectroscopy1986-09-15
455 Jaeckle, Kurt A.; Digre, Kathleen B.; Jones, Christopher R.; Bailey, Peter L.Central neurogenic hyperventilation: pharmacologic intervention with morphine sulfate and correlative analysis of respiratory, sleep, and ocular motor dysfunction.Central neurogenic hyperventilation (CNH), for which there is no effective therapy, can eventually result in respiratory fatigue and death.

456 Schmidt, Meic H.Cervical spine deformity associated with resection of spinal cord tumorsPostoperative sagittal-plane cervical spine deformities are a concern when laminectomy is performed for tumor resection in the spinal cord. These deformities appear to occur more commonly after resection of intramedullary spinal cord lesions, compared with laminectomy for stenosis caused by degener...Kyphosis; Cervical deformity; Intramedullary tumor; Laminectomy; Children2006
457 Murphy, Patricia A.Criterion-based screening for sexually transmitted infection: sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of commonly used questionsBackground: Practice protocols that mandate pre-screening for sexually transmitted infection prior to insertion of an intrauterine device for contraception can pose obstacles for women seeking this highly effective method of birth control. Some practices screen for presumed risk factors for sexually...2012-01-01
458 Erickson, J. Alan; Aldeen, William E.; Ashwood, Edward R.Evaluation of a fecal pancreatic elastase-1 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: assessment versus an established assay and implication in classifying pancreatic functionDisagreement continues regarding the two commercially available fecal pancreatic elastase-1 (PE-1) ELISAs and their respective capabilities to assess pancreatic function. Our objectives were to validate the newer PE-1 ELISA and evaluate the test against the previously established assay, to investiga...PE-1; pancreatic elastase-1; FDA; AMR; analytical measurement range; BioServ Diagnostics PE-1ELISA; ScheBo Biotech PE-1ELISA2005-09-25

461 Brown, Barbara B.Methods for preparing dry, partially articulated skeletons of osteichthyans, with notes on making ridewood dissections of the cranial skeletonWe describe methods for preparing dry skeletons of virtually any osteichthyan species with a well-ossified skeleton, including very large specimens (e.g., > 1 m Megalops atlanticus). Our approach differs from those conventionally used to prepare skeletons of tetrapods in that (1) fairly complete di...Skeleton preparation; Study specimens; Partially articulated skeletons; Osteichthyans; Ridewood dissections; Cranial skeleton2004
462 Kachi, YukioReview article on A.C. Graham, Reason and SpontaneityThis is a book review of A. C. Graham's Reason and Spontaneity, a book that advances the proposal to ground all values, whether prudential, moral, or aesthetic, in the imperative 'Be aware'. The empirical thesis concerns causal connections between awareness and motivation.Book review; Values; Metaphysics1990
463 Freire, JulianaSiphoning hidden-web data through keyword-based interfacesIn this paper, we study the problem of automating the retrieval of data hidden behind simple search interfaces that accept keyword-based queries. Our goal is to automatically retrieve all available results (or, as many as possible). We propose a new approach to siphon hidden data that automatically ...2004-01-01
464 Schmidt, Meic H.Thoracoscopic vertebral body replacement with an expandable cage after ventral spinal canal decompressionOBJECTIVE: Minimally invasive thoracic anterior surgery using a thoracoscopic approach has evolved to include spinal biopsy, debridement, discectomy, decompressive corpectomy, interbody fusions, and internal fixations. Minimal access techniques can potentially decrease surgical access morbidity and...2007-01-01
465 Couldwell, William T.Resident curriculum guidelines for neurosurgeryThis curriculum was created to detail the body of knowledge that should be attained by an individual completing residency training in neurological surgery. The specific structure of resident education in neurological surgery is defined by the American Board of Neurological Surgery, and each program...Residency training; Neurological surgery2000
466 Zimmer, ZacharyAccounting for urban versus rural discrepancies in mortality and functional health among older adults in ChinaBroad differences exist in social and economic life between residents living in urban versus rural areas of China. To study the health implications of these differences, the current study employs data from a longitudinal study of older adults in the Beijing municipality, a region of China that has w...Chinese; Elderly; Health care; Quality of life; Population2006-09-05
467 Ostafin, AgnesCombined deletion of mouse dematin-headpiece and ß-adducin exerts a novel effect on the spectrin-actin junctions leading to erythrocyte fragility and hemolytic AnemiaDematin and adducin are actin-binding proteins of the erythrocyte "junctional complex." Individually, they exert modest effects on erythrocyte shape and membrane stability, and their homologues are expressed widely in non-erythroid cells. Here we report generation and characterization of double knoc...2007

471 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Weiss, Robert B.Efficient shine- Dalgarno sequence but not translation is necessary for LacZ mRNA stability in Escherichia coliThe 5' ends of many bacterial transcripts are important in determining mRNA stability. A series of Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence changes showed that the complementarity of the SD sequence to the anti-SD sequence of 16S rRNA correlates with lacZ mRNA stability in Escherichia coli. Several initiation c...Protein Biosynthesis; Ribosomes; Escherichia coli; Shine-Dalgarno Sequence1994
