554 Jorgensen, ErikMutations in synaptojanin disrupt synaptic vesicle recyclingSynaptojanin is a polyphosphoinositide phosphatase that is found at synapses and binds to proteins implicated in endocytosis. For these reasons, it has been proposed that synaptojanin is involved in the recycling of synaptic vesicles. Here, we demonstrate that the unc-26 gene encodes the Caenorhab...2000
555 Beckerle, Mary C.Nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of the focal contact protein, zyxin: a potential mechanism for communication between sites of cell adhesion and the nucleusIntegrin-dependent cell adhesion to specific extracellular matrix molecules has been demonstrated to trigger dramatic changes in gene expression that can affect cell fate. However, little is understood about the molecular mechanism by which events at sites of cell-substratum adhesion are communicate...Zyxin; Cytosol; Nuclear export signal1997
556 Beckerle, Mary C.Opposing roles of zyxin/LPP ACTA repeats and the LIM domain region in cell-cell adhesionCadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion by linking cell junctions to actin networks. Although several actin regulatory systems have been implicated in cell-cell adhesion, it remains unclear how such systems drive cadherin-actin network formation and how they are regulated to coincide with initiation o...Zyxin; Actin; Cadherin; LIM domains; VASP2006
557 Fan, Jessie Xiaojing; Brown, Barbara B.; Kowaleski-Jones, Lori; Smith, Ken R.; Zick, Cathleen D.Patterns of household food expenditures: a cluster analysisIn this study we use the Diary Survey component of the 2001 and 2002 Consumer Expenditure Survey to investigate patterns of household food expenditures. We identify eight constellations of food expenditures that are more and less likely to be associated with healthy eating habits. These clusters in...Diet; Fast food; Nutrition; Eating habits2006-09-01
558 Salari, Sonia LynnePatterns of intimate partner homicide suicide in later life: strategies for preventionIntimate partner homicide suicide (IPHS) constitutes the most violent domestic abuse outcome, devastating individuals, families, neighborhoods and communities. This research used content analysis to analyze 225 murder suicide events (444 deaths) among dyads with at least one member 60 or older. Dat...Intimate partner homicide suicide; IPHS; Murder-suicide; Elder abuse; Prevention2007
559 Perceived neighborhood characteristics and the health of adult KoreansThis study examines the role of the perception of neighborhood quality with respect to its influence on individual health in Korea. Employing the Quality of Korean Life Survey, 2001, the authors discover that how respondents perceive their neighborhood quality selectively affects the health of Ko...Korea; Communities; Districts2003-09-03
560 Podlog, Leslie WilliamPsychosocial factors in sports injury rehabilitation and return to playThe goal of this review is to provide insight into the principles and practices that guide psychological intervention with injury and in so doing cultivate a psychologically minded approach to injury for the medical provider. The chapter is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the ...2014-01-01
561 Symons, John David; Jalili, Thunder; Litwin, Sheldon E.Quercetin-supplemented diets lower blood pressure and attenuate cardiac hypertrophy in rats with aortic constrictionQuercetin (Q), a flavonoid found in berries and onions, can reduce blood pressure in hypertensive animals and inhibit signal transduction pathways in vitro that regulate cardiac hypertrophy. We hypothesized that quercetin could prevent cardiovascular complications in rats with abdominal aortic con...2006
562 Couldwell, William T.; Apfelbaum, Ronald I.Transoral approach and extended modifications for lesions of the ventral foramen magnum and craniovertebral junctionObjectives: To describe our method of performing the transoral approach and the extended approaches to the ventral foramen magnum and craniovertebral junction and review the technical aspects and operative nuances. Design: Review Results: The transoral approach provides direct midline exposure to a...Craniovertebral junction; Foramen magnum; Skull base surgery; Transoral approach2008
563 Olivera, Baldomero M.Venomous gastropods: Conus, conoideans and other neogastropod familiesA review of the present understanding of the mechanism of envenomation by cones is presented. The expanding applications of cone snail venom components in biomedical science are the degree to which the envenomation strategy may be shared by other venomous gastropod groups is explored based on a prel...Venomous gastropods; Conoideans; Conotoxins; Envenomation; Toxoglossa2002
564 Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael; Hillyard, David R.A-superfamily of conotoxins: structural and functional divergenceThe generation of functional novelty in proteins encoded by a gene superfamily is seldom well documented. In this report, we define the A-conotoxin superfamily, which is widely expressed in venoms of the predatory cone snails (Conus), and show how gene products that diverge considerably in stru...Conotoxins; A-superfamily conotoxin2004-02-03
565 Beckerle, Mary C.ALP-enigma protein ALP-1 functions in actin filament organization to promote muscle structural integrity in Caenorhabditis elegansMutations that affect the Z-disk-associated ALP-Enigma proteins have been linked to human muscular and cardiac diseases. Despite their clear physiological significance for human health, the mechanism of action of ALP-Enigma proteins is largely unknown. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the ALP-Enigma prot...Actin; Caenorhabditis elegans; Contractility; alp-1 mutants; Z-disks; Kettin2009
