Court-ordered monitoring of blood cholinesterases (ChEs) from orchard workers in Washington State is underway. In 2008, the mean red blood cell acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) activity was 9.65 +/- 1.11 micromoles/min/ml (n = 1,793) and the mean serum (BChE, 3.1.1.6) activity was 5.19 +/- 0.90 micromoles/min/ml (n = 1,811). Determinations were made using the Ellman assay and automated e...

The association of "rheumatoid disease" (Ellman and Ball, 1948) and Addison's disease is exceedingly rare. Kendall (1951) believed that their co-existence was no more than a coincidence. Perera and Ragan (1950) and, more recently, Caughey and McCoy (1951) reported single cases of a combination of the two diseases. The last mentioned refer to the French literature (Dejean, 1947; de Gennes and ot...

patients with alzheimer's disease have cognitive deficits, impaired long-term potentiation and learning and memory. a progressive reduction in cholinergic neurons in some areas of the brain such as cortex and hippocampus is related to the deficits in memory and cognitive function in alzheimer’s disease (ad). in the current project a new series of phthalimide derivatives were synthesized. p...

The low molecular weight thiol (-SH) content of a human prostate carcinoma cell line (LNCap), important to the cellular resistance to drugs and irradiation, was investigated using three forms of thiol assay each utilizing different chemistries. The composition of the mixture was examined by derivatization of the thiols with a three-fold excess of the Ellman reagent to give mixed aromatic disulf...

Citizens awaiting jury service were asked a series of items, in Likert format, to determine their endorsement of various statements about principles to use in setting child support amounts. These twenty items were derived from extant child support systems, from past literature and from Ellman and Ellman's (2008) Theory of Child Support. The twenty items were found to coalesce into four factors ...

alzheimer is an age-dependent disease mostly with genetic origin. in this disorder, acetylcholine is decreased which results in deterioration of short-term memory. many researches have been focused on finding new sources of medications with more potency and less side effects and investigating acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (acheis) has been the center of many researches. in the present study, ...

The development of a peculiar form of pneumonitis in cases of acute rheumatism was described by Latham in 1845, but a century passed before the publication of the first reports of pulmonary involvement in rheumatoid arthritis. Since the papers of Ellman (1947) and Ellman and Ball (1948) there have been many other reports of lung changes associated with rheumatoid arthritis: in some the nature o...

Caffeine is an alkaloid with a stimulant effect in the body. It can interfere in transmissions based on acetylcholine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine and glutamate. Clinical studies indicate that it can be involved in the slowing of Alzheimer disease pathology and some other effects. The effects are not well understood. In the present work, we focused on the question whether c...

Introduction: Surgery of inferior turbinates is a divisive subject. Surgical management includes functional and invasive procedures. There is currently no consensus on the most effective technique. Radiofrequency ablation is one of numerous interventions available for the treatment of nasal opstruction secondary to inferior turbinate hypertrophy. The goals of inferior turbinate surgery include ...
