We have cloned and sequenced cDNAs for three isoforms of the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel subunit isolated from a normal human heart cDNA library. One of these subunits, designated JPa. hybridized with a 3.4-kb message, and the other two, designated Pb and pBc, hybridized with a message of approximately 1.9 kb. The presence of both of these latter two messages in human heart was con...

Direct-injection analysis for phenylalanine in plasma by isocratic "high-performance" liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. For chromatographic separation I use an internal-surface reversed-phase silica support. The method involves ultraviolet detection, requires as little as 10 microL of plasma (routinely 20 microL), and supplies results in less than 7.5 min from injection. The intra-batc...

A 1344 bp fragment of the 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence was used to determine the genetic relationship of Pasteurella pneumotropica isolates from laboratory rodents. A total of 30 nucleotide sequences of P. pneumotropica, including 24 wild strains, 3 reference strains, and 3 nucleotide sequences deposited in GenBank, were examined for heterogeneity of their 16S rDNA sequences. Phylogenetic ...

The study conducted on a total of 1344 preterm births, of which 403 hypotrophic fetuses births (between 2010-2012 within the Maternal Clinics of Craiova, Romania), studied the involvement of dental inflammatory infections in the chorioamnionitis onset. The possibility of transferring germs, toxins and degraded materials into the blood flow, and them entering the chorioamniotic structures is qui...

2014 The general results recently obtained for the Boltzmann collision term in a gas of atomic hydrogen are applied to the study of longitudinal spin diffusion in high magnetic fields. This phenomenon can be described as a diffusion of concentration in a four component reactive mixture (the reaction being here the electronic transfer between nuclei). A numerical discussion of all the coefficien...

We have generated transgenic mice expressing the leech anticoagulant hirudin and human tissue factor pathway inhibitor tethered to the cell surface by fusion with fragments of human CD4 and Pselectin. Expression of the transgenes is under the control of the CD31 (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule [PECAM]) promoter, limiting expression to endothelial cells, monocytes, and platelets. In...

Growth of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers is of interest due to their unique electrical and optical properties. Films in the 2H and 1T phases have been widely studied but monolayers of some 1T'-TMDs are predicted to be large-gap quantum spin Hall insulators, suitable for innovative transistor structures that can be switched via a topological phase transition rather than convent...
