Background: Human linkage and animal QTL studies have indicated the contribution of genes on Chr17 into blood pressure regulation. One candidate gene is PNMT, coding for phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase, catalyzing the synthesis of epinephrine from norepinephrine. Methods: Fine-scale variation of PNMT was screened by resequencing hypertensive (n = 50) and normotensive (n = 50) individuals...
متن کاملDiethylene Glycol as a Medium for Heat Sterilization of Surgical Instruments *
Since the beginning of aseptic surgery there has been a constant search for a quick and economical means of sterilizing surgical instruments without dulling effect. Heat sterilization in oil, as introduced by Lyman5 in 1917, has proved to be the most satisfactory method thus far, and is widely used in hospitals. There is a definite disadvantage to this procedure, due to the fact that hot oil ac...
متن کاملDiethylene glycol poisoning and liver function following accidental diethylene glycol injection
The aim of the present study was to investigate the hepatotoxic effects of accidental intravenous diethylene glycol (DEG) poisoning in patients with liver disease. Clinical manifestations were recorded and liver function tests were carried out for 64 patients with liver disease who had been accidentally treated intravenously with DEG. Comparisons were made between the poisoned and non-poisoned ...
متن کاملDiethylene Glycol Poisoning: Report on Two Cases.
Few cases, if any, of death from drinking diethylene glycol have been reported in this country. This substance is, of course,, largely used as an antifreeze fluid in radiators of rmotor-cars, and is sold under a variety of trade names in this country, in America, and probably elsewhere , without any restrictions. There is little or no mention of the toxicity of this substance in British literat...
متن کاملAutoclave Sterilization of PEDOT:PSS Electrophysiology Devices.
Autoclaving, the most widely available sterilization method, is applied to poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) electrophysiology devices. The process does not harm morphology or electrical properties, while it effectively kills E. coli intentionally cultured on the devices. This finding paves the way to widespread introduction of PEDOT:PSS electrophysio...
