Faculty Publications

This experiment was designed to evaluate the ability of three different somatic cell cultures to promote development of early cleavage stage pig embryos. A total of 245 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, and 16-cell pig embryos were cocultured for 5 days with porcine oviductal epithelial cells (POEC), porcine fetal fibroblast monolayer (PEF), a combined POEC and PEF coculture system (PEF-POEC), or Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium alone (DMEM). Embryos were collected at slaughter from the reproductive tracts of superovulated prepubertal gilts. Embryos were recovered, evaluated, and randomly placed in one of the four treatment groups. POEC were recovered from oviductal flushes, washed, and …

Localization Of Tissue Factor In The Normal Vessel Wall And In The Atherosclerotic Plaque, J. N. Wilcox, K. M. Smith, S. M. Schwartz, D. Gordon Jan 1989

Localization Of Tissue Factor In The Normal Vessel Wall And In The Atherosclerotic Plaque, J. N. Wilcox, K. M. Smith, S. M. Schwartz, D. Gordon

Faculty Publications

Tissue factor (TF)-producing cells were identified in normal human vessels and atherosclerotic plaques by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry using a specific riboprobe for TF mRNA and a polyclonal antibody directed against human TF protein. TF mRNA and protein were absent from endothelial cells lining normal internal mammary artery and saphenous vein samples. In normal vessels TF was found to be synthesized in scattered cells present in the tunica media as well as fibroblast-like adventitial cells surrounding vessels. Atherosclerotic plaques contained many cells synthesizing TF mRNA and protein. Macrophages present as foam cells and monocytes adjacent to the cholesterol clefts …

Incorporation Of Atmospheric Oxygen Into The Carbonyl Functionality Of The Protochlorophyllide Isocyclic Ring., C. J. Walker, K. E. Mansfield, K. M. Smith, P. A. Castelfranco Jan 1989

Incorporation Of Atmospheric Oxygen Into The Carbonyl Functionality Of The Protochlorophyllide Isocyclic Ring., C. J. Walker, K. E. Mansfield, K. M. Smith, P. A. Castelfranco

Faculty Publications

Detached cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. var. Beit Alpha) cotyledons incubated in darkness with 5-aminolaevulinic acid and either 16O2 air (control) or 18O2 in N2 accumulated protochlorophyllide. This was converted into methyl phaeoporphyrin alpha 5 and analysed by mass spectrometry. The molecular ion of the methyl phaeoporphyrin alpha 5 derived from the 18O2 incubation was 2 mass units greater than that of the control, establishing that the oxo oxygen atom of the isocyclic ring is derived from atmospheric oxygen.

Efficacy Of Phospholipid Analysis In Determining Microbial Biomass In Sediments, R. H. Findlay, G. M. King, L. Watling Jan 1989

Efficacy Of Phospholipid Analysis In Determining Microbial Biomass In Sediments, R. H. Findlay, G. M. King, L. Watling

Faculty Publications

Improvements in the analysis of lipid-bound phosphates resulted in a simplified and sensitive method for determining microbial biomass in sediments. Sensitivity was enhanced over previous methods by use of a dye, malachite green, which when complexed with phosphomolybdate at low pH has a high extinction coefficient (at 610 nm). The use of a persulfate oxidation technique to liberate phosphate from lipids increased the simplicity and safety of the method relative to the traditional perchloric acid digestions. The modified method was both accurate (yielding quantitative recoveries of cells added to sediments) and precise (coefficient of variation of less than 5% for …

Hypertension As A Cause Of Lower Than Expected Death Rates From Coronary Artery Disease Among Blacks., R. Cooper, B. E. Simmons Jan 1989

Hypertension As A Cause Of Lower Than Expected Death Rates From Coronary Artery Disease Among Blacks., R. Cooper, B. E. Simmons

Faculty Publications

Coronary risk factors are more prevalent among blacks than whites in the United States. It is therefore paradoxical that age-adjusted death rates for coronary artery disease (CAD) are similar in the two racial groups. The major risk factor for CAD that is more common among blacks than whites is hypertension, which increases the risk of CAD by two- to fourfold, depending on the presence of smoking, hypercholesterolemia, or other factors. Two general hypotheses have been advanced to explain the lower than expected CAD rates among blacks: (1) the presence of some protective factors, such as increased levels of high density …

Coronary Arteriography And Coronary Bypass Survey Among Whites And Other Racial Groups Relative To Hospital-Based Incidence Rates For Coronary Artery Disease: Findings From Nhds, E. Ford, R. Cooper, A. Castaner, B. Simmons, M. Mar Jan 1989

Coronary Arteriography And Coronary Bypass Survey Among Whites And Other Racial Groups Relative To Hospital-Based Incidence Rates For Coronary Artery Disease: Findings From Nhds, E. Ford, R. Cooper, A. Castaner, B. Simmons, M. Mar

Faculty Publications

To assess racial differences in health care utilization for coronary artery disease (CAD) the data of the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) from 1979-84 were examined. Discharge rates for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were utilized as a measure of hospital-based incidence and relative need for the designated cardiac procedures. Although 35-74 year old Black men had discharge rates of AMI that were 77 per cent of those observed for White men, they underwent coronary arteriography half as often and were only a third as likely to have coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Black women in this age range were …

Reference Standards For Flow Cytometry And Application In Comparative Studies Of Nuclear Dna Content, Terrence R. Tiersch, Robert W. Chandler, Stephen S. Wachtel, Sherman Elias Jan 1989

Reference Standards For Flow Cytometry And Application In Comparative Studies Of Nuclear Dna Content, Terrence R. Tiersch, Robert W. Chandler, Stephen S. Wachtel, Sherman Elias

Faculty Publications

Nuclear DNA mass in cells from a reference species can be used to obtain high‐resolution estimates of DNA mass from a target species. In our study of DNA mass in cells from 45 selected species, representing each of the major vertebrate classes, we have obtained values of from 1.5 to 110.0 pg of DNA. Because values in or near this range would be expected in the study of nuclear DNA mass in vertebrates and other organisms, the species in this report can provide a useful catalogue of references for comparative studies of DNA.

The University Of Choice: Social Work Students At Uni, James G. Mccullagh Jan 1989

The University Of Choice: Social Work Students At Uni, James G. Mccullagh

Faculty Publications

The study examined expressed reasons for choosing the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) by undergraduate students majoring in social work there. Responses of 205 social work majors to a questionnaire found that these students chose UNI primarily because of location; size; cost; the presence of a social work program; to get a good education; to be with their friends; and to continue a family tradition. Other findings indicated that 44% of students had attended other colleges previously; that many students considered other majors before deciding on social work; that 84% of the students had been born in Iowa; that 50% …

Comparison Of Ascorbic Acid Content Of Super‐Market Versus Roadside Stand Produce, R. J. Bushway, P. R. Helper, J. King, B. Perkins, M. Krishnan Jan 1989

Comparison Of Ascorbic Acid Content Of Super‐Market Versus Roadside Stand Produce, R. J. Bushway, P. R. Helper, J. King, B. Perkins, M. Krishnan

Faculty Publications

Seven vegetables and one fruit from two roadside stands and two major local supermarkets were analyzed for their ascorbic acid content. Produce was sampled during a nine week period from late July through September of 1987. Significant differences at the 0.05 level for ascorbic acid were observed between supermarket and roadside stand produce for potato, cauliflower, cabbage and tomato while no significant differences were found between cantaloupe, broccoli, green peppers and spinach from either market. Cabbage was the only supermarket item that was significantly higher in ascorbic acid concentration. Very little dehydroascorbic acid was shown to be present in these …

The Renewed Concern Over Soil Erosion: The Current Federal Programs And Proposals, Linda A. Malone Jan 1989

The Renewed Concern Over Soil Erosion: The Current Federal Programs And Proposals, Linda A. Malone

Faculty Publications

Because soil erosion affects the quantity and quality of farmland, it is a matter of great concern for both the government and the farm industry. Whereas in the past concern was over the potential damage to productivity, concern is now being voiced over off-site damage and water pollution. There are numerous federal programs set up to fight soil erosion, but they are all voluntary, thereby making it difficult for the government to target funds. The author reviews the seriousness of the problem, looks at the numerous government programs, and then analyzes the Food Security Act of 1985—the first act to …

Unobtrusive Studies And The Quality Of Academic Library Reference Services, Jo Bell Whitlatch Jan 1989

Unobtrusive Studies And The Quality Of Academic Library Reference Services, Jo Bell Whitlatch

Faculty Publications

This article uses empirical data from a recent obtrusive study of reference performance to explore content validity and assumptions regarding unobtrusive studies. Data collected by author support the contention that improvements are highly desirable before conducting more unobtrusive studies of reference service. The two most important changes concern the development of test questions representing all types of queries and supplementing the correct fill rate with other measures of reference performance.

An Incentive-Based Wild Horse Management System On Public Rangeland, Ray G. Huffaker, James E. Wilen, B. Gardner Delworth Jan 1989

An Incentive-Based Wild Horse Management System On Public Rangeland, Ray G. Huffaker, James E. Wilen, B. Gardner Delworth

Faculty Publications

This paper explores an incentive-based management system to induce federal grazing permittees to choose sustained cattle stocking strategies which accommodate government-set wild horse numbers and nongrazing uses. Particular attention is paid to constraints imposed by federal grazing statutes. The proposed system employs increased livestock grazing fees to induce permittees to provide increased vegetation for consumption by wild horses and nongrazing uses. The negative impact of increased fees on permittee wealth is counterbalanced with compensatory transfer payments. Taken together, grazing fees and compensation payments induce multiple-use compliance by permittee-stewards and keep their discounted livestock profits intact at some predetermined level.

Inulin-125I-Tyramine, An Improved Residualizing Label For Studies On Sites Of Catabolism Of Circulating Proteins, Janet L. Maxwell, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe Oct 1988

Inulin-125I-Tyramine, An Improved Residualizing Label For Studies On Sites Of Catabolism Of Circulating Proteins, Janet L. Maxwell, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe

Faculty Publications

Residualizing labels for protein, such as dilactitol-125I-tyramine (125I-DLT) and cellobiitol-125I-tyramine, have been used to identify the tissue and cellular sites of catabolism of long-lived plasma proteins, such as albumin, immunoglobulins, and lipoproteins. The radioactive degradation products formed from labeled proteins are relatively large, hydrophilic, resistant to lysosomal hydrolases, and accumulate in lysosomes in the cells involved in degradation of the carrier protein. However, the gradual loss of the catabolites from cells (t1/2 approximately 2 days) has limited the usefulness of residualizing labels in studies on longer lived proteins. We describe here a higher molecular weight (Mr approximately 5000), more efficient …

Oxidative Degradation Of Glucose Adducts To Protein: Formation Of 3-(NE-Lysino)-Lactic Acid From Model Compounds And Glycated Proteins, Mahtab U. Ahmed, John A. Dunn, Michael D. Walla, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes Jun 1988

Oxidative Degradation Of Glucose Adducts To Protein: Formation Of 3-(NE-Lysino)-Lactic Acid From Model Compounds And Glycated Proteins, Mahtab U. Ahmed, John A. Dunn, Michael D. Walla, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

The chemistry of Maillard or browning reactions of glycated proteins is being studied in model systems in vitro in order to characterize potential reaction pathways and products in biological systems. In previous work with the Amadori rearrangement product N alpha-formyl-N epsilon-fructoselysine (fFL), an analog of glycated lysine residues in proteins, we showed that fFL was oxidatively cleaved between C-2 and C-3 of the carbohydrate chain to yield N epsilon-carboxymethyllysine (CML) and D-erythronic acid. We then detected CML in proteins glycated in vitro, as well as in human lens proteins and collagen in vivo (Ahmed, M. U., Thorpe, S. R., and …
