An expression vector, pKGR, for the gor gene from Escherichia coli encoding glutathione reductase was constructed by subcloning of an AvaII fragment of the Clarke & Carbon bank plasmid pGR [Greer & Perham (1986) Biochemistry 25, 2736-2742] into the plasmid pKK223-3. The expression of glutathione reductase from the plasmid pKGR was found to have been successfully placed under the control of the ...

Gadboys, Slonim, and Litwak (1962) reported what is now known as the homologous blood syndrome, which stimulated work on a substitute for blood in open-heart surgery, especially for the priming of the heart-lung machine. The homologous blood syndrome was noted in experimental animals and consisted of hypotension on commencing cardiopulmonary bypass, with early thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, sequ...

In the present times, it has been strongly postulated, from various experimental data of stalk section or hypothalamic lesion, that the secretory maintenance and regulation of trophic hormone by the adenohypophysis have certain relationship to some neural mechanisms in hypothalamus, and that some chemical transmitters from hypothalamus are liberated into the adenohypophysis to exert a specific ...

BACKGROUND No characterized diagnostic natural rubber latex skin testing material is licensed for use in the United States. OBJECTIVE We have conducted a multicenter clinical skin testing study to document the safety and diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of a candidate Hevea brasiliensis nonammoniated latex (NAL) extract. These data are intended to support the licensing of this reagent f...

The ‘normalization’ axiom associated with Sen’s poverty index–and this, indeed, holds for most extant measures of poverty—entails an uncomfortable implication when we adopt a strong, or inclusive, definition the poor. This paper suggests that may not always be at liberty to weak definition. available alternative then is change form measure. Accordingly, modification his normalization which lead...

This work aimed to analyze the causality between corruption and poverty in Brazil a group of seven other South American countries, from 2002 2018, using methodology applied by Dumitrescu Hurlin (2012) for heterogeneous panels. The variables employed are Corruption Perception Index (CPI)and Control (CC) index and, as measures poverty, indexes proposed Foster, Greer, Thorbecke (1984), considering...
