Management of Helicobacter pylori infection in Vietnam
(2004-05-07)
: Primary resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole was 1.0% and 76.1 %, respectively. In patients with strains sensitive to both clarithromycin and tinidazole, the once-daily antibiotic therapy without PPI achieved an H. pylori eradication of 90.9...
Novel mechanism of action of antipsychotic drugs : effects on neuropeptides in rat brain
(2002-05-10)
Schizophrenic patients have been reported to have lower concentrations of neurotensin (NT)-like immunoreactivity (-LI) in their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that normalize after treatment with antipsychotic drugs. Schizophrenic ...
Transcriptional mechanisms directing terminal differentiation of B lineage cells
(2002-11-01)
The interaction between the B cell receptor (surface immunoglobulin) and
its ligand (antigen) can result in extensive cell growth and induction of
differentiation. The terminally differentiated B cell fulfills the
ultimate ...
PPAR delta : its role in cholesterol metabolism
(2003-08-08)
and expression pattern of the gene was determined. The PPARdelta gene spans approximately 85 kilobases (kb) of DNA and consists of nine exons. Exons 1-3, the 5'-part of exon 4 and the 3'part of exon 9 are untranslated. The TATA box-less gene is transcribed from a...
Novel genes in gonadal development
(2002-01-24)
Sertoli- and germ cells. In addition to Sry, several transcription factors controlling sex determination/differentiation have been isolated. These include the Sry-related gene Sox9, two orphan members of the nuclear hormone receptor family, Sf-1 and Dax1...
Population-based studies of body mass index, overweight and systolic blood pressure among Swedish young men
(2002-08-30)
Overweight and obesity has increased in Sweden and worldwide in recent decades. Lifestyle and environmental changes, genetic susceptibility and interactions between these factors are believed to be important. A theoretical ...
Central-block techniques for reliet of labour pain
(2004-04-23)
. The outcomes studied were non-elective caesarean section and instrumental delivery. Delivery units with the lowest (20-29%) and the highest (60-64%) relative frequencies of epidural block had the lowest proportion of caesarean section (9. 1 %). For the other...
CTLA-4 expression, regulation and associations in autoimmune myasthenia gravis
(2003-10-17)
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease with muscle weakness due to an autoimmune attack against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) on the skeletal muscle endplate. Cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-associated ...
Gonad development and male gametogenesis
(2002-01-25)
Testicular and ovarian organogenesis involve a pathway of developmental genes which are differentially regulated in males and females. In mammals, sex determination is controlled by a dominant gene, SRY, located on the Y ...
Endoscopic methods for detecting malignancy in patients with ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis
(2002-11-29)
, the cellular DNA content by flow cytometry, and the tumor markers CEA and CA 19-9 in bile and serum.
Materials and Methods: Two series of patients were studied. The first series consisted of 143 patients with extensive UC, observed in a 20 years prospective...
