The ability of the human insulin receptor promoter to direct expression of a linked chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene was assessed in transient transfections into HepG2 and Hela cells. A 5'-deletional analysis of the promoter showed that regions between -646 and -489 were important for the activity of the proximal promoter. In addition, a possible negative regulatory element was identified...

The alkaloids of leaves and flowers of 18 populations of four Pleurothallis (Orchidaceae) species were characterized. Both leaves and flowers of individuals from all populations have two diasteroisomers of 1-hydroxymethylpyrrolizidine (RI=1290 and 1311). The 1290 isomer was the most abundant in all populations of P. johannensis (74-93%) and P. fabiobarrosii (63-93%), two morphologically closed ...

The treatment of thyroid cancer using an unsealed source of radioactive materials is usually associated with a large amount of 131I. A major problem for hospital admission of these patients is the waste disposal which requires protection of the public. 152 patients with thyroid cancer admitted to the nuclear medicine department of Said AI- Shohada Hospital for UI I treatment were studied. 1...

The development of the aralkylguanidine [13’I]m-iodobenzylguanidine ([i3’I]MIBG) in the University of Michigan Nuclear Medicine Division has led to diagnostic and therapeutic evaluations of all the neuroendocrine tumors. These tumors share the property of uptake, storage and release of [‘3’I]MIBG uptake in chromaffin granules. This property has allowed the detection of pheochromocytomas, the de...
