BACKGROUND
The heterodimeric, oxygen-sensitive transcription factor Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1) orchestrates angiogenesis and plays a key role in the response to ischemia and the growth of cancers.
METHODS
We developed a transgenic mouse line in which expression of an oxygen-stable HIF-1α
Previous studies have suggested that the hypoxia and/or hypercapnia associated with chronic lung diseases may lead to pituitary and gonadal dysfunction, with destruction of the sella turcica. It is unclear, however, whether these abnormalities were due to lung disease or to confounding factors. We
Seven young men developed acute pulmonary hemorrhage and edema from the inhalation of powder or fumes of a bisphenol epoxy resin containing tri-mellitic anhydride (TMA) while working in a steel pipe-coating plant. The illness was characterized by cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, fever, weakness and
Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1), a transcriptional activator, is highly involved in the pathology of cancer. Inhibition of HIF-1 retards tumor growth and enhances treatment efficiency when used in combination with chemo- or radiation therapy. The recent validation of HIF-1 as an important drug
The aim of this study was to develop an efficient fully automated synthesis method to achieve a high radiochemical yield of [(18)F]FAZA with a small amount of precursor. A small cartridge containing 25mg of the QMA resin was prepared and evaluated to obtain [(18)F]F(-) in a small quantity of base
Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is a typical endoplasmic reticulum luminal chaperone having a main role in the activation of the unfolded protein response. Because of hypoxia and nutrient deprivation in the tumor microenvironment, expression of GRP78 in these cells becomes higher than the
Paraganglionic cells are sensitive to hypoxia, and the involvement of a plasmalemmal cytochrome b558-like protein in oxygen sensing by these cells has been suggested, but neither the identity of the immunoreactive protein detected by immunohistochemistry nor its anticipated subcellular (i.e.,
Marked electrolyte abnormalities characterized by profound hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia were noted in 4 neonatal foals with acute rhabdomyolysis and pigmenturia. In 2 foals, rhabdomyolysis developed 4-6 days after admission for dysmaturity, and in 2 foals,
A 34-year-old Japanese woman developed acute lung injury soon after inhaling a water-proofing spray which she applied onto her ski suit while smoking a cigarette at the same time. She initially demonstrated arterial hypoxemia (PaO2 = 59 mm Hg) and ground-glass opacities in both lung fields on the CT
In this study we have continuously measured real-time production of nitric oxide (NO) in the isolated, perfused rat lung by using an NO monitor (model NO-501, Inter Medical Co., Nagoya, Japan) with an NO-selective resin microsensor. A stable NO response was obtained when the sensor was placed in the
To investigate thyroid function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), 46 consecutive patients (35 men) with stable, mild-to-severe disease, having a mean (SD) age of 67 +/- 7 years were studied. All subjects underwent pulmonary function tests (PFTs), arterial blood gas determination, and
Translational control is a focal point of gene regulation, especially during periods of cellular stress. Cap-dependent translation via the eIF4F complex is by far the most common pathway to initiate protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, but stress-specific variations of this complex are now
The opioids are a large class of medications related in structure to the natural plant alkaloids found in opium that are derived from the resin of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. The natural alkaloids are also referred to as opiates and include morphine and codeine. Synthetic derivatives
Background
The chaperone activity of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Acr is an important function that helps to prevent misfolding of protein substrates inside the host, especially in conditions of
hypoxia.
The aim of this study was to establish the correlationBACKGROUND
Most researches were focused on chemical constituents and bioactivities of Pedicularis. However, there were a few reports on simultaneous determination of the series phenylpropanoids compounds in Pedicularis by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
OBJECTIVE
To establish an HPLC
