Methods and Results-—Immunoblot analysis showed that vinexin b expression is upregulated in the atherosclerotic lesions of both patients with coronary heart disease and hyperlipemic apolipoprotein E–deficient mice and is primarily localized in macrophages indicated by immunofluorescence staining. The high-fat diet–induced double-knockout mice exhibited lower aortic plaque burdens than apolipopr...

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical outcomes concerning speech perception of the Clarion CII HiFocus 1 with and without a positioner and link those outcomes with the functional implications of perimodiolar electrode designs, focusing on intrascalar position, insertion depth, stimulation levels, and intracochlear conductivity pathways. DESIGN The speech perception scores of 25 consecutive patients...

BACKGROUND In a previous report by our group, high levels of apolipoprotein E (apoE) were demonstrated to be associated with risk of incident cardiovascular disease in women with high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the setting of both low (designated as HR1 subjects) and high (designated as HR2 subjects) levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). To assess whether apolipopro...

1. Commercially available bovine serum albumin as Cohn fraction V was demonstrated to contain small amounts of apolipoprotein-CII. 2. This apolipoprotein activated lipoprotein lipase in the same way as apolipoprotein-CII purified from human very-low-density lipoproteins.

In May 1978, the Social Security Bulletin published an article, “Effect of Social Security on Saving: Review of Studies Using U.S. Time-Series Data,” by Louis Esposito, Division of Economic and Long-Range Studies, Office of Research and Statistics, Social Security Administration. The author reviewed four major empirical studies that investigated the effect of the social security program on aggr...

Normotriglyceridemic and hypertriglyceridemic samples were analyzed for apoproteins A-I and B using the Beckman Array System and the Behring Nephelometer, and the nephelometric values were compared to values obtained by highly standardized radioimmunoassays developed at the Northwest Lipid Research Center. Although the means of the apoA-I values obtained by each method were similar, comparison ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine fenofibrate-induced changes in plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, and apolipoprotein (apo) A-II and how they relate to changes in plasma homocysteine and creatinine. METHODS AND RESULTS FIELD was a double-blind placebo-controlled trial done in Australia, New Zealand, and Finland. All FIELD subject...

THEORETICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF TIME DEPENDENT SCATTERING ON A 2D SURFACE by Michael Sohn Dr. Bernard Zygelman, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Physics University of Nevada, Las Vegas The quantum mechanical treatment of the elastic scattring of atoms from a crystal surface provides valuable information, such as surface properties and gas-surface interaction potentials. However, ...
