OBJECTIVE To show that adequate therapy for lymphoedema is able to restore ability to work. MATERIALS AND METHODS The population of patients with primary lymphoedema registered in the university clinical centre diagnosed with primary or secondary lymphoedema and presumed by the national social institution as completely unable to work was selected for the retrospective analysis and divided int...

OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND Myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR) in conjunction with coronary flow reserve (CFR) is used to evaluate the hemodynamic severity of coronary lesions. However, discordant results between FFR and CFR have been observed in intermediate coronary lesions. A functional parameter, pressure drop coefficient (CDP; ratio of pressure drop to distal dynamic pressure), was ass...

Previous work from this laboratory had demonstrated that CDP-diglyceride hydrolase of Escherichia coli is encoded by the cdh gene that maps near minute 88 (Bulawa, C. E., and Raetz, C. R. H. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 11257-11264). We now report the construction of hybrid plasmids and the sequencing of a 1,243-base pair insert carrying cdh. The further construction of BAL31 deletions of this in...

BACKGROUND The topical application of Vancomycin is increasingly being used in orthopedics because of the development of methicillin resistant bacteria. Consequently, resistance to Vancomycin has recently been on the rise. One possible explanation for this phenomenon could be the thermal degradation of Vancomycin to antibacterially inactive crystalline degradation products (CDP-1s). The aim of ...

Functionally distinct plasmacytoid and conventional dendritic cells (pDC and cDC) shape innate and adaptive immunity. They are derived from common dendritic cell progenitors (CDPs) in the murine bone marrow, which give rise to CD11c+ MHCII- precursors with early commitment to DC subpopulations. In this study, we dissect pDC development from CDP into an ordered sequence of differentiation events...

In wireless cellular networks, previous researches on admission control policies and resource allocation algorithm considered the QoS (Quality of Service) in terms of CDP (Call Dropping Probability) and CBP (Call Blocking Probability). However, since the QoS was considered only within a predetermined cell capacity, the results indicated a serious overload problem of systems not guaranteeing bot...

Correlation between c-myc gene expression and phosphatidylinositol (PI) metabolism was studied using seven human kidney cancer cell lines. We found that the exceptional incorporation of 32P into CDP-diacylglycerol (CDP-DG) was observed in only two cell lines, in which c-myc expression was increased among seven cell lines tested. In these two cell lines, PI was also labeled. The other five cell ...

Abstract α-Dystroglycan (α-DG) is a highly glycosylated cell-surface protein. Defective O-mannosyl glycan on α-DG associated with muscular dystrophies and cancer. In the biosynthetic pathway of glycan, fukutin (FKTN) fukutin-related protein (FKRP) transfer ribitol phosphate (RboP). Previously, we reported that FKTN FKRP can also glycerol (GroP) from CDP-glycerol (CDP-Gro) showed inhibitory effe...

CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) is the key regulatory enzyme in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the most abundant phospholipid in eukaryotic cellmembranes. The CCT-catalyzed transfer of a cytidylyl group from CTP to phosphocholine to form CDP-choline is regulated by a membrane lipid-dependent mechanism imparted by its C-terminal membrane binding domain. We present the first ...

Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is a recent storage technology which enables reverting the state of the storage to previous points in time. We propose four alternative architectures for supporting CDP in a storage controller, and compare them analytically with respect to both write performance and space usage overheads. We describe exactly how factors such as the degree of protection granulari...
