Addictive drug use or prescribed medicine abuse can cause psychosis. Some representative symptoms frequently elicited by patients with psychosis are hallucination, anhedonia, and disrupted executive functions. These psychoses are categorized into three classifications of symptoms: positive, negative, and cognitive. The symptoms of DIP are not different from the symptoms of schizophrenia, and it...

Acute cardiac rejection, syndrome X, and arterial hypertension can induce small vessel damage and, therefore, restriction of coronary reserve in the presence of normal epicardial coronary arteries. A characteristic response pattern to dipyridamole (DIP) infusion has been previously described in syndrome X and arterial hypertension: ST segment depression without any measurable systolic dysfuncti...

The clearance of (125)I-thrombin and diisopropylphosphoryl-(125)I-thrombin (DIP-thrombin) from the circulation in rabbits was studied. When given either intraarterially or intravenously, DIP-thrombin, which is active-site blocked, was approximately 90% cleared from the circulation by 1 min, the time of earliest sampling, indicating a large first-pass effect. DIP-thrombin given intravenously is ...

BACKGROUND Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) may represent the early stage and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) the late stage of the same disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the computed tomographic (CT) features of DIP, to evaluate the changes in pattern and extent of disease over time, and to determine whether the appearances of DIP on the CT scan change to those of ...

Cell movement is driven by the coordinated regulation of cytoskeletal reorganization through Rho GTPases downstream of integrin and growth-factor receptor signaling. We have reported that mDia, a target protein of Rho, interacts with Src and DIP. Here we show that DIP binds to p190RhoGAP and Vav2, and that DIP is phosphorylated by Src and mediates the phosphorylation of p190RhoGAP and Vav2 upon...
