First published March 7, 2003; 10.1152/ ajplung.00285.2002.—Signaling through the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-VEGF-VEGF receptor system (VEGF signaling system) leads to angiogenesis and epithelial cell proliferation an...

Alteration in the rate of gastric emptying has long been considered responsible for many of the sequelae of gastric surgery. For example, rapid gastric emptying after gastroenterostomy (Hertz, 1913; Mix, 1922) or Polya gastrectomy (Johnson, 1954; Abbott, Krieger, and Levey, 1958) can cause one type of 'dumping syndrome'. Delayed post-gastrectomy emptying may also cause problems (Snell, 1937; Ho...

GABA(B) receptors belong to family III G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are widely distributed in the peripheral and central nervous systems. The GABA(B) receptor is one of the most important therapeutic targets in the treatment for spasticity. GABA(B) agonists, such as baclofen, are used as muscle relaxants clinically and are effective for the treatment of anxiety, depression, epilepsy,...

Although EK4 drawing steel is nowadays widely used to manufacture a great variety of parts, it exhibits marked normal and planar anisotropy that can make difficult control the process during its forming. In order achieve an accurate description elastoplastic material response in sheet forming operations, this work presents detailed damage characterization deep through two-step methodology invol...

OBJECTIVE To examine trends in coronary heart disease and stroke mortality in migrants to England and Wales. DESIGN Cross-sectional. OUTCOME MEASURES Age-standardised and sex-specific death rates and rate ratios 1979-83, 1989-93 and 1999-2003. RESULTS Coronary mortality fell among migrants, more so in the second decade than the first. Rate ratios for coronary mortality remained higher for...
