Diet and the metabolic syndrome : a cross-sectional study of 301 men from Stockholm County
(2003-11-25)
indicate that underreporters can both weaken associations and also introduce misleading associations. The relative content of the fatty acids 14:0, 15:0 and 17:0 in serum-phospholipids and adipose tissue were related to the intake of dairy fat but also...
Pulmonary embolism : validation of diagnostic imaging methods in the clinical setting
(2002-09-20)
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an elusive diagnosis and none of the existing imaging modalities have a 100% diagnostic specificity or sensitivity. Pulmonary arteriography (PA) is the most specific test although the improvement ...
Changes in mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation and inorganic phosphate induced by skeletal muscle contraction
(2002-10-04)
Skeletal muscles adjust to the level of contractile activity by different biochemical alterations. Contraction is a multifactorial stimulus with short-term metabolic effects and long-term responses due to changes in protein ...
Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Estonia
(2003-01-31)
of TB among health care workers (HCW) in Estonia was 1.5 to 3 times higher (mean 91/100 000/year) than in the general population. In a chest hospital the incidence was 30 to 90 times higher. The highest rate was observed among physicians. In addition...
Molecular consequences of cellular UDP-glucose deficiency
(2004-05-21)
. This was associated with almost complete inactivation of the enzyme (= 5% of G3 activity). The amount of GS protein in Qc cells was 50% of the amount in G3 cells and this decrease was associated with lower GS mRNA levels in the UDPG deficient cells.
Comparable...
Genetic regulation of autoimmune neuroinflammation
(2003-11-28)
and linkage analysis performed on animals in the F7 generation. The AIL has the advantage of more recombinational events, resulting in ~3.5 fold reduction of the confidence interval in a F7 compared to a F2 population in a sample of the same size. Eae18...
HIV-1 infection in Tanzania : HIV antibody testing strategies and lymphocyte subset determinations
(2003-04-16)
yearly decline of the absolute number and percentage of CD4+ T lymphocytes (CD4+%) was -21.0 cells/µl and -1.3% respectively for the HIV-1 seroprevalent subjects and -22.0 cells/µl and -1.5%, respectively for the seroincident subjects. In seroincidents...
Health care financing in China : equity in transition
(2002-08-12)
(8. 1% of the population) utilized a disproportionally small share (4%) of inpatient services. The ratio of negative pregnancy outcomes (miscarriage or still birth) increased by 170% from 1985-89 to 1990-95, while utilization of hospital delivery...
Substrate specificities and functional properties of human short-chain dehydrogenases / reductases
(2004-04-06)
Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) constitute a universal
superfamily of functionally heterogeneous proteins and participate in the
metabolism of steroids, prostaglandins, retinoids, aliphatic alcohols,
and ...
Cholesterol turnover in acute myelogenous leukemia with special emphasis on regulation of low density lipoprotein receptor expression in leukemic cells
(2001-10-26)
, were similar. We found that 5 out of 5 drug resistant K562 cell lines had 2-10 times higher LDL uptake than the parental K562 cells. Drug resistant HL60 cell lines also had higher uptake of LDL than the parental cell line. Elevated uptake of LDL by drug...
