This study showed the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) variants as well as nucleotide changes within L1 gene and LCR of the HPV16, HPV31, and HPV58 found in cervical lesions of women from North-East Brazil.

Cells of Escherichia coli treated with lysozyme and Brij-58 become permeable to proteins, but do not release their DNA. I incubated permeable cells with an endonuclease that produces single-strand breaks in DNA-containing pyrimidine dimers. The enzyme entered the permeable cells, and, if they had been irradiated with ultraviolet light, caused breaks in their DNA. The frequency of breaks was est...

The potencies of atracurium, Org NC 45 and pancuronium were determined using cumulative dose-response curves. The effective doses producing 95% twitch depression were 279 microgram kg-1, 56 microgram kg-1 and 64 microgram kg-1 respectively, the relative potency being 1:5.0:4.3. The calculated log-probit dose-response curves showed the steepest slope for pancuronium, although the slopes did not ...

Abstract—Past earthquakes have shown that seismic events may incur large economic losses in buildings. FEMA P-58 provides engineers a practical tool for the performance seismic assessment of buildings. In this study, FEMA P-58 is applied to two typical Italian pre-1970 reinforced concrete frame buildings, characterized by plain rebars as steel reinforcement and masonry infills and partitions. G...

In contrast to supramaximal CCK-8 or caerulein, acute or prolonged supraphysiological levels of endogenous CCK-58 do not cause pancreatitis. Compared with CCK-8, CCK-58 is a much stronger stimulant of pancreatic chloride and water secretion, equivalent to maximally effective secretin, but with a chloride-to-bicarbonate ratio characteristic of acinar fluid. Because supraphysiological endogenous ...

26 Various molecular forms of cholecystokinin (CCK) reduce food intake in rats. Although CCK-8 is the 27 most studied form, we reported that CCK-58 is the only detectable endocrine peptide form in rats. We 28 investigated the dark phase rat chow intake pattern following injection of CCK-8 and CCK-58. Ad libitum 29 fed male Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with CCK-8, CCK-58 (...

RUB ein Multimedia Service Center gegründet. Mittelfristig bieten sie dort Studierenden Arbeitsplätze an. Statt auf bloße Dienstleistung setzen sie auf qualifizierten Service mit zukunftsweisenden Arbeitsformen, Fremdsprache, Weiterbildung, Netzdetektiven und wissenschaftlichem Know-how. Sie streben eine aktive Zusammenarbeit mit den Instituten der RUB an und möchten langfristig selbst ein Inst...

Anzeige Hebler 1sp/110 Den von ihr mit angezettelten, nur mäßig geglückten Versuch von Rektoren und Professoren, mit dem Thema “Faulpelze” beim diesjährigen Sommertheater den Politikern ihren angestammten medialen Platz streitig zu machen, hat Wissenschaftsministerin Gabriele Behler geschickt genutzt, um – von der Öffentlichkeit fast unbemerkt – Fakten zu schaffen: Am 21.9.99 ist in NRW mit par...
