Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is synthesized in endothelial cells, where it is stored in Weibel-Palade bodies. Administration of 1-desamino-8-D-arginine-vasopressin (DDAVP) to patients with type 1 von Willebrand disease and to healthy individuals causes a rapid increase in plasma VWF levels. This increase is the result of stimulated release of VWF from Weibel-Palade bodies in certain beds of endo...

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) is an important worldwide commercial freshwater culture species. However, grass carp reovirus (GCRV) causes serious hemorrhagic disease in fingerlings and yearlings of fishes. To understand the molecular pathogenesis of host cells during GCRV infection, intensive proteomic quantification analysis of lysine acetylation in Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney (CIK)...

PURPOSE Evidence from human myopia genetic mapping studies (MYP3 locus), modulated animal models, and observations of glycemic control in humans suggests that insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 plays a role in the control of eye growth. This study was conducted to determine whether IGF-1 polymorphisms are associated with myopia in a large, international dataset of Caucasian high-grade myopia pe...

BACKGROUND The clinical features of type 2 diabetes may differ depending on whether first depression episode precedes or follows the diagnosis of diabetes. METHODS Type 2 patients from the observational community-based Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase II underwent assessment of lifetime depression using the Brief Lifetime Depression Scale (developed and validated for this study) supplemented by...
