The response of leukemia cells to Apo2L/TRAIL: Characterization of resistance mechanisms and identification of strategies for overcoming resistance
(2005)
Targeting the death receptors on tumor cells with Apo2L/TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) has stimulated great interest among cancer researchers because of its ability to kill a broad spectrum ...
Effects of rate of glucose ingestion on subjective satiety
(2005)
Variations in glycemic index (GI) and thus postprandial glycemia are hypothesized to affect satiety and hunger. We varied the ingestion rate of a glucose beverage consumed with breakfast and lunch (Rapid and Slow) to mimic ...
Design of an ambulatory cardiac care center
(2005)
Statement of issue/problem . Heart failure affects about 5 million people in the United States robbing them of energy, mobility and independence. The northeastern parts of the U.S. have higher number of patients in need ...
The relationship between motor coordination and physical activity in children
(2005)
Problem under investigation . Current public health recommendations call for at least 60 minutes a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity for children. Many children do not meet these recommendations. Objective/hypothesis ...
Examination of New York State surface soil background concentrations for select heavy metals
(2005)
The University at Buffalo, beginning in June 2004, conducted a search for previously collected surface soil background data. The primary source of information proved to be Remedial Investigation reports for New York State ...
Modulation of efflux transporters by flavonoids: Drug interactions and MDR reversal
(2005)
Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds rich in our diet and in many herbal preparations. P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) are the efflux transporters with important role in cancer multidrug resistance ...
Effects of lift conditions on three-dimensional trunk kinematics
(2005)
The objectives of this study were to determine how box size, box weight and task duration affect three-dimensional lumbar kinematics and moment placed on the low back during manual materials handling. A simulation of a ...
Tumor cells secreting glucose regulated protein 170 as cell-based cancer vaccines
(2005)
Grp170 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident chaperone that can induce immune responses against the tumor from which it was purified. However, the mechanisms by which grp170 stimulates the immune system is still evasive. ...
Impact of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster on reproductive beliefs and decisions
(2005)
Background. Many people in Belarus were exposed to radioactive contamination from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster in 1986, and psychosocial effects are expected to be the most prominent health effect of this ...
Investigation of antibody-coated liposomes as a new strategy for treatment of immune thrombocytopenia
(2005)
Immune thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune disease characterized by an increased rate of platelet destruction that is mediated by anti-platelet autoantibodies. Approximately 25-30% of ITP patients are refractory to standard ...
