Effects Of Religiosity And Problem Type On Counselor Description Ratings: An Alternative Population Study To Guinee And Tracey, Victor W. Landers Jan 1999

Effects Of Religiosity And Problem Type On Counselor Description Ratings: An Alternative Population Study To Guinee And Tracey, Victor W. Landers

Theses

This analogue study reexamines the work of Guinee and Tracey ( 1997), repeating the interaction between pre-counseling information, religiosity, and problem type and its subsequent effect on counselor ratings of social influence and willingness to seek help. The author assessed members of a large rural county in the Mid-west using an inventory of Christian beliefs. After providing a presenting problem and reading self-descriptions of secular (nonreligious), spiritually empathic, or Christian counselors, participants responded to the Counselor Rating Form-Short and Willingness to Seek Help scale. Based on a paired sample t test, the interactions between participant religiosity and counselor description is …

Separation Of Enantiomers By Capillary Electrophoresis Using Pentosan Polysulfate, Xiande Wang, Jauh Tzuoh Lee, Daniel W. Armstrong Jan 1999

Separation Of Enantiomers By Capillary Electrophoresis Using Pentosan Polysulfate, Xiande Wang, Jauh Tzuoh Lee, Daniel W. Armstrong

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Pentosan polysulfate, a semisynthetic polysaccharide, was employed as a chiral un buffer additive in capillary electrophoresis. Twenty-eight racemic analytes were resolved. The separations were successful only at low pH when the analytes were significantly protonated. This suggests that ionic interactions were the dominant associative interactions between the anionic pentosan polysulfate and the positively charged analytes. Compared to other linear, carbohydrate-based chiral selectors (i.e., chondroitin sulfates, heparin and dextran sulfate) pentosan polysulfate has some characteristics common of anionic polysaccharides; yet it has several differences in its structure and properties which account for its unusual enantioselectivity. The effects of pH, concentration of …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

For most infectious diseases, increased formation of reactive oxygen species is secondary to the primary disease process. Some microorganisms are highly susceptible to exogenous reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) remove H 2 O 2 , and selenium is requird for the activity of GSH-Px. Therefore, to assess the status of GSH-Px and selenium in cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), we determined serum selenium concentration and blood GSH-Px activity in 52 patients with CL and in 38 healthy controls. Selenium concentrations and GSH-Px activities were found to be lower in the patient group than in the controls (p

The Role Of Serum Lipids On Cyclosporine-Inducedgingival Overgrowth In Renal Transplantpatients, Tunç İlgenli̇, Gül Ati̇lla, Mustafa Ci̇ri̇t, Nezi̇h Azmak Jan 1999

The Role Of Serum Lipids On Cyclosporine-Inducedgingival Overgrowth In Renal Transplantpatients, Tunç İlgenli̇, Gül Ati̇lla, Mustafa Ci̇ri̇t, Nezi̇h Azmak

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Cyclosporine-A (CsA) is widely used to prevent organ rejection in recipients of transplanted organs and also in the treatment of various systemic diseases. CsA has a number of side effects, including gingival overgrowth (GO). However, the pathogenesis of CsA-induced GO remains uncertain. It has been postulated that CsA alters fibroblast activity. CsA is transported in plasma by binding to lipid components. It is possible that changes in serum lipid levels could alter the interaction between the CsA and gingival fibroblasts within the gingival tissues. It has also been reported that CsA may alter serum lipid levels in the transplant population. …
