The glycoprotein (GP) llb-Illa complex was isolated from human platelet membranes by immunoaffinity chromatography using a monocbonal antibody specific for GP bIb-lIla. GP llb and lIla were further separated in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by gel filtration high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Two cycles of this procedure yielded almost complete separation of homogeneo...

BACKGROUND Studies investigating effects of periodontal treatment (PT) on markers of inflammation in healthy subjects show conflicting results. Few studies have investigated the effects of PT among subjects with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. AIM To report the results of a pilot prospective study on the effects of periodontal treatment on markers of inflammation among subjects wit...

This study determined the comparative of functional properties some Nigerian and imported rice varieties. The result showed a significant difference in at (p>0.05). Illa (Nigerian) had highest Water Absorption Capacity (WAC) (353.76%) Oil (OAC) (218.32%) than variety. bulk density both samples less significantly different values. percentage values dispersibility (75.00%) were higher Ofada ri...

Background. Platelet deposition at the site of injury caused by balloon angioplasty is associated with acute closure and restenosis. Methods and Results. In a new ex vivo whole artery angioplasty model, we examined the roles of thrombin inhibition with D-Phe-Pro-ArgCH2C1 (PPACK) and inhibition of the platelet membrane fibrinogen receptor glycoprotein lIb/Illa (GPIIb/IIIa) with monoclonal antibo...

By using human bone marrow cells enriched for early progenitors by selective immunoadsorption and plated at low cell density (iO to iO cells/mL/9.6 cm2) in semisolid methylcellulose culture. we have analyzed the cooperative effects of human colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1 ), granulocyte-macrophage-CSF (GM-CSF). interleukin-1 a (ILla). and gibbon as well as human recombinant IL-3 on the forma...

The purpose of this study is to explain the rationale for the value of information approach to priority setting for research and to describe the methods intuitively for those familiar with basic decision analytical modeling. A policy-relevant case study is used to show the feasibility of the method and to illustrate the type of output that is generated and how these might be used to frame resea...
