Interleukin 2 (IL-2), 1 also known as T cell growth factor, discovered by Morgan et al. (1), is a lymphokine produced by normal peripheral blood lymphocytes after antigen or mitogen stimulation (2, 3) and is required for the proliferation and function of T cells (2, 3), natural killer cells (4-6), and cytotoxic effector cells in vitro and in vivo (7-9). In addition, IL-2 is able to induce or en...

In Shigella boydii 0-1392, genes encoding the synthesis and transport of the hydroxamate siderophore aerobactin are located within a 21-kb iron transport island between lysU and the pheU tRNA gene. DNA sequence analysis of the S. boydii 0-1392 island, designated SHI-3 for Shigella island 3, revealed a conserved aerobactin operon associated with a P4 prophage-like integrase gene and numerous ins...

This paper introduces three novel techniques for updating the invertible representation of the basis matrix when solving practical sparse linear programming (LP) problems using a high performance implementation of the dual revised simplex method, being of particular value when suboptimization is used. Two are variants of the product form update and the other permits multiple Forrest-Tomlin upda...

The primary mission and purpose of the Board is to enforce public policy related to the safe and effective practice of nursing in the interest of public welfare. As a regulatory agency of state government, the Board of Nursing accomplishes this mission as authorized by Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 314—The KENTUCKY NURSING LAWS and attendant administrative regulations. In accomplishin...

Objective: Microbial catalysis is used in the commercial production of many bioactive steroids. Solid phase microbial fermentation of anabolic steroid, dihydrotestosterone (DHT, 1), was carried out with ascomycete fungal strain Fusarium oxysporum (NRRL-1392). Methods: Sabouraud-4% glucose-agar was used to cultivate the fungal cultures as solid phase medium. Substrate 1 was incubated with Fusari...

Catalase (H2O2:H2O2 oxidoreductase, E.C. 1.11.1.6) is a ubiquitous antioxidant metalloenzyme located primarily within the peroxisomes of most mammalian cells. In C57BL/6 mice, liver catalase activity levels are approximately 60% of the levels found in most other mouse strains, including C3H/HeJ (1). Ganschow and Schimke (2) demonstrated using immunological techniques that equal numbers of catal...

A 76-year-old woman presented with a five-day history of fever and abdominal pain. Her urine culture grew Candida albicans. She was treated with intravenous antibiotics, as having a urinary tract infection, but her fever persisted. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed a cystic mass at the pancreatic head and uncinate process with peripancreatic lymph nodes. Given the patientos high operati...
