Four new Pr(III) mononuclear complexes of formula [Pr(ntfa)3(MeOH)2] (1), [Pr(ntfa)3(bipy)2] (2), [Pr(ntfa)3(4,4?-Mt2bipy)] (3) and [Pr(ntfa)3(5,5?-Me2bipy)] (4), where ntfa = 4,4,4-trifuoro-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)butane-1,3-dionato(1-), 5,5?-Me2bipy 5,5?-dimethyl-2,2?-dipyridine, 4,4?-Mt2bipy 4,4?-dimethoxy-2,2?-dipyridine, have been synthesized structurally characterized. The display the coordina...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical correlates of PR-segment depression among consecutive asymptomatic patients with pericardial effusion (PE) detected by routine echocardiography. BACKGROUND Pericardial effusion is a relatively common finding in clinical practice, but not many studies have evaluated electrocardiographic (ECG) changes associated with the occurre...

Prolonged-release (PR) fampridine is approved to treat walking impairment in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, treatment benefits may extend beyond walking. MOBILE was a phase 2, 24-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory study to assess the impact of 10mg PR-fampridine twice daily versus placebo on several subject-assessed measures. This analysis evaluated the physical ...

Expression of progesterone receptor (PR) mRNA in granulosa cells of ovarian preovulatory follicles is induced by LH (1, 2) and is essential for ovulation (3). Although 17beta-estradiol (E) can induce PR mRNA and activate PR promoter-reporter constructs in other cell types, the effects of E in granulosa cells appear to be indirect. We show herein that E alone does not induce the expression of PR...

Osmotin-like protein (OLP) is a neutral isoform in the group 5 pathogenesis-related (PR) tobacco proteins. The OLP gene, like the basic PR protein genes, is constitutively expressed in tobacco roots and cultured cells. OLP is not naturally present in intact healthy leaves, but ethylene treatment induces a high accumulation there. To study the mechanism of OLP gene expression as induced by ethyl...

The levels of progesterone receptor (PR) mRNA, PR protein, and [3H]R5020 binding activity were measured in parallel experiments conducted on a T47D subline expressing the estrogen receptor. A significant increase of PR mRNA levels could be detected within 6 h of exposure of the cells to estradiol (10(-8) M). The changes in mRNA, however, did not lead to any variation of PR protein levels of [3H...

Background: P. atrosepticum is a commercially important pathogen. It causes blackleg in the field and soft rot of tubers after the harvest. This effect is due to secretion of depolymerases and other virulence factors by several mechanisms including T3SS Objectives: The effect of bacterial T3SS on Solanum tuberosum (S. tuberosum) varieties and its re...

To study the promoter of the chicken progesterone receptor (cPR) gene and the relevance of several progestin-responsive elements therein, chimeric genes were constructed which contained the 5'-flanking region of the cPR gene linked to promoterless globin or chloramphenicol acetyltransferase sequences. Cell-specific initiation of transcription was observed in transiently transfected chicken embr...

Cells infected with vaccinia viruses expressing the equine infectious anaemia virus (EIAV) gag gene (VGag) or gag plus the 5' pol encoding protease (VGag/PR) were evaluated with monoclonal antibody to a p26 capsid protein linear epitope (QEISKFLTD). Both recombinant viruses expressed Gag precursor protein (55K) whereas only VGag/PR expressed a detectable Gag-Pol fusion protein (82K) with a func...
