Organohalogen contaminants in humans with emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers
(2002-02-08)
. The PCB congener profile was similar in all samples. 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexaCB (CB-153), 2,2',3,4,4',5'-hexaCB (CB-138) and 2,2',3,4,4',5,5'-heptaCB (CB-180) were the dominant congeners.
OH-PCBs constituted 30-50% of the sum of PCBs in blood samples, 1...
Molecular and ultrastructural analysis of Tpr, a nuclear pore complex-attached coiled-coil protein
(2003-05-02)
that tethers Tpr to the NPC was found to be a nucleoporin termed Nup 153. Whereas RNAi-promoted loss of Tpr had no effect on correct incorporation of Nup153 into the NPC, cellular depletion of Nup153 by RNAi abolished NPC binding of Tpr and caused...
Character, symptoms and relationship patterns before and after psychoanalytic psychotherapy
(2002-05-17)
after long-term psychoanalytic therapy; 4) whether change in one of the aforementioned three aspects was interrelated with change in any other aspect; 5) the relationship between change of character or change in symptoms and duration of treatment...
Role of toll-like receptors in host responses to mucosal bacterial infections
(2002-11-15)
The first contact between invading bacteria and the host occurs at the mucosal surface. Interestingly, the mucosal linings of different organs are exposed to bacteria to various degrees. The intestinal epithelium is ...
Biophysical aspects of contact dermatitis and its prevention
(2004-03-05)
, patch tests with 0.5% and 2% NiSO4 in petrolatum were done on the forearm of 20 nickel-allergic patients and five healthy subjects, which had been pre-treated with a urea-containing moisturiser. Skin areas that had not been pre-treated were used...
Matrix degrading proteases in vascular disease
(2002-11-22)
polymorphisms within the promoter regions of MMP-7 and MMP-12. In the MMP-7 promoter we found two polymorphisms located at -181 with an A to G substitution and the other one at -153 with a C to T substitution. Both of the MMP-7 polymorphisms were associated...
On extrinsic and intrinsic organizational themes in gram negative bacteria and their role in evolution and virulence of the bacterial genus Salmonella spp
(2002-11-08)
Gram-negative bacteria are composed of intrinsic organizational themes such as outer and inner membrane, cell wall, and replicons. Themes that not only determine the body-plan and physical properties but also set the ...
Bioinformatic methods in protein characterization
(2002-11-08)
Bioinformatics is an emerging interdisciplinary research field in which mathematics. computer science and biology meet. In this thesis. bioinformatic methods for analysis of functional and structural properties among ...
Stiffness changes of the tympanic membrane in otitis media
(2002-05-03)
Acute purulent otitis media and otitis media with effusion, are common
diseases in childhood. Years later some of the children will get
"complications", such as retraction pockets and cholesteatoma, that often
need advanced ...
Assembly and transport of messenger and ribosomal RNP particles in the dipteran Chironomus tentans
(2003-05-16)
of the BR3 gene to occur cotranscriptionally.
Injection of an antibody to the NPC component Nup153 caused accumulation of both mRNA and rRNA in the nucleoplasm. Analysis by EM revealed that the mRNP particles bound to the top of the basket structure...
