A Requirement For Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 During Development Of The Mammalian Kidney And Eye., Andrew T. Dudley, K. M. Lyons, E. J. Robertson Nov 1995

A Requirement For Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 During Development Of The Mammalian Kidney And Eye., Andrew T. Dudley, K. M. Lyons, E. J. Robertson

Journal Articles: Genetics, Cell Biology & Anatomy

BMP-7/OP-1, a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family of secreted growth factors, is expressed during mouse embryogenesis in a pattern suggesting potential roles in a variety of inductive tissue interactions. The present study demonstrates that mice lacking BMP-7 display severe defects confined to the developing kidney and eye. Surprisingly, the early inductive tissue interactions responsible for establishing both organs appear largely unaffected. However, the absence of BMP-7 disrupts the subsequent cellular interactions required for their continued growth and development. Consequently, homozygous mutant animals exhibit renal dysplasia and anophthalmia at birth. Overall, these findings identify BMP-7 as an essential …

Actions Of (1s,3r)-1-Aminocyclopentane-1,3-Dicarboxylic Acid (1s,3r-Acpd) In Retinal On Bipolar Cells Indicate That It Is An Agonist At L-Ap4 Receptors., Wallace B. Thoreson, R. F. Miller Jun 1994

Actions Of (1s,3r)-1-Aminocyclopentane-1,3-Dicarboxylic Acid (1s,3r-Acpd) In Retinal On Bipolar Cells Indicate That It Is An Agonist At L-Ap4 Receptors., Wallace B. Thoreson, R. F. Miller

Journal Articles: Ophthalmology

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) include receptors sensitive to L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (L-AP4) and 1S,3R-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (1S,3R-ACPD). To determine whether 1S,3R-ACPD is an agonist at retinal L-AP4 receptors, whole cell voltage clamp recordings were obtained from mudpuppy ON bipolar cells in a superfused retinal slice and L-AP4 and 1S,3R-ACPD were bath applied. Both compounds evoked similar outward currents which reversed near 0 mV and were accompanied by an increased input resistance. Responses to both agonists washed out in parallel suggesting they act through the same second messenger pathway(s). Inhibitors of cGMP-PDE activity suppressed responses to both L-AP4 and 1SR,3RS-ACPD, suggesting that both compounds …

The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor From Prostate Cells Is Dephosphorylated By A Prostate-Specific Phosphotyrosyl Phosphatase., Ming-Fong Lin, Gail M. Clinton Dec 1988

The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor From Prostate Cells Is Dephosphorylated By A Prostate-Specific Phosphotyrosyl Phosphatase., Ming-Fong Lin, Gail M. Clinton

Journal Articles: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Human prostatic acid phosphatase (PAcP) has been found to have phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatase activity (H. C. Li, J. Chernoff, L. B. Chen, and A. Kirschonbaun, Eur. J. Biochem. 138:45-51, 1984; M.-F. Lin and G. M. Clinton, Biochem. J. 235:351-357, 1986) and has been suggested to negatively regulate phosphotyrosine levels, at least in part, by inhibition of tyrosine protein kinase activity (M.-F. Lin and G. M. Clinton, Adv. Protein Phosphatases 4:199-228, 1987; M.-F. Lin, C. L. Lee, and G. M. Clinton, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:4753-4757, 1986). We investigated the molecular interaction of PAcP with a specific tyrosine kinase, the epidermal growth factor …

Oral Assessment Guide, June Eilers, Ann Berger Jan 1988

Oral Assessment Guide, June Eilers, Ann Berger

Guides and Handouts: College of Nursing

The Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) can be used by the clinician to evaluate changes in the oral cavity. The OAG is comprised of eight categories of mucositis assessment of the mouth on a scale of 1 to 3, with “1” indicating normal and “3” indicating breakdown or loss of function. The OAG has been validated and is reliable in the current published format. Permission is granted for use in the current format. Any modifications will require new testing for validity and reliability. The OAG has been widely used in cancer and other populations and published in professional journals and books.

Developmental Expression Of Tyrosyl Kinase Activity In Human Serum., Ming-Fong Lin, Joan E. Bailey-Wilson, Robert C. Elston, Gail M. Clinton Jun 1987

Developmental Expression Of Tyrosyl Kinase Activity In Human Serum., Ming-Fong Lin, Joan E. Bailey-Wilson, Robert C. Elston, Gail M. Clinton

Journal Articles: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Tyrosine protein kinases, in addition to their roles as viral transforming proteins and growth factor receptors, have been suggested to have specialized functions in tissue specific processes and in differentiation. High levels of soluble tyrosine kinases have been found in human serum and plasma. To determine if the level of tyrosine kinase activity is development tally expressed in human serum, we assayed sera from 214 individuals of different ages from newborns to 90 years. We found that serum tyrosine kinase levels are high in newborns and the levels closely parallel skeletal growth until late adolescence. The serum tyrosine kinase levels …

Tyrosyl Kinase Activity Is Inversely Related To Prostatic Acid Phosphatase Activity In Two Human Prostate Carcinoma Cell Lines., Ming-Fong Lin, Ching-Li Lee, Gail M. Clinton Dec 1986

Tyrosyl Kinase Activity Is Inversely Related To Prostatic Acid Phosphatase Activity In Two Human Prostate Carcinoma Cell Lines., Ming-Fong Lin, Ching-Li Lee, Gail M. Clinton

Journal Articles: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Alterations in prostatic acid phosphatase (PAcP), a phosphotyrosyl phosphatase, corresponded to changes in overall tyrosyl kinase activity. PAcP added to extracts of prostate carcinoma cells with a low endogenous level of PAcP activity and elevated tyrosyl kinase activity decreased the tyrosyl kinase activity. On the other hand, when PAcP activity was decreased by the addition of androgens to cells, there was a corresponding increase in tyrosyl kinase activity.

Communication Tendencies Of Senior Dental Students., David G. Dunning, Brian M. Lange Mar 1986

Communication Tendencies Of Senior Dental Students., David G. Dunning, Brian M. Lange

Journal Articles: College of Dentistry

Although the importance of dentist-patient communication is generally recognized, the dental literature does not specify what interpersonal behaviors can be used as a basis for evaluating dental students' communication skills. A set of behaviors based on clinical observations is described, and an evaluation of 25 senior students' behavioral skills is presented. Students often did not: (1) spend much time orienting patients before beginning treatment; (2) update medical histories; (3) ask patients if they had any questions before beginning treatment; (4) explain the operation and use of equipment; (5) forewarn patients about uncomfortable procedures; (6) attend to signs of patient discomfort; …
