The Psychological Effects Of Exercise, Judith Rodin, Thomas G. Plante Jan 1989

The Psychological Effects Of Exercise, Judith Rodin, Thomas G. Plante

Psychology

Thousands of businesses in the United States have implemented programs to promote physical fitness among their employees (Falkenberg, 1987). The programs range from company-paid memberships at private health and fitness clubs to complete work site fitness facilities. These programs have been developed not only to improve and maintain employee health but also to promote psychological well-being and productivity and to reduce absenteeism, insurance claims, and stress. Recent research focusing on the use of employee fitness programs to improve work-related behaviors suggests that these programs may improve absenteeism, job satisfaction, tenure. and health care costs, especially among female employees (Baun, Bernacki, …

Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics Faculty Publications

We have isolated and characterized a new series of B lymphomas which occurred spontaneously in a group of CBA N mice that were transferred with spleen or lymph node cells from 24-month-old CBA Ca mice. Tumor cell lines from six CBA N mice that received spleen cells were rescued and designated as BKS-2, BKS-3, BKS-4, BKS-5, BKS-6, and BKS-7. Also, tumor cells from a recipient of lymph node cells were rescued and the resulting cell line was designated BKL. These tumor cells expressed membrane immunoglobulin (μ,κ), major histocompatibility complex Class I and Class II molecules, B220, Lyb8, Fc receptors, J11d, …


Identification Of Persistent Defects In Insulin Receptor Structure And Function In Capillary Endothelial Cells From Diabetic Rats, Ching Fai Kwok, Barry J. Goldstein, Dirk Muller-Wieland, Tian-Shing Lee, C. Ronald Kahn, George L. King Jan 1989

Identification Of Persistent Defects In Insulin Receptor Structure And Function In Capillary Endothelial Cells From Diabetic Rats, Ching Fai Kwok, Barry J. Goldstein, Dirk Muller-Wieland, Tian-Shing Lee, C. Ronald Kahn, George L. King

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

Insulin actions and receptors were studied in capillary endothelial cells cultured from diabetic BB rats and their nondiabetic colony mates. The endothelial cells from diabetic rats of 2 mo duration had persistent biological and biochemical defects in culture. Compared with normal rats, endothelial cells from diabetic rats grew 44% more slowly. Binding studies of insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) showed that cells from diabetic rats had 50% decrease of insulin receptor binding (nondiabetic: 4.6 +/- 0.7; diabetic: 2.6 +/- 0.4% per milligram protein, P < 0.01), which was caused by a 50% decrease in the number of binding sites per milligram protein, whereas IGF-I binding was not changed. Insulin stimulation of 2-deoxy-glucose uptake and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid uptake were also severely impaired with a 80-90% decrease in maximal stimulation, in parallel with a 62% decrease in insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation (P < 0.05). 125I-insulin cross-linking revealed an 140-kD alpha subunit of the insulin receptor similar to …


A Specific Defect In The Proliferative Capacity Of B Cells From Old Mice Stimulated With Autoreactive T Cells, Prakash S. Nagarkatti, Aruna Seth, Mitzi Nagarkatti, Natarajan Muthusamy, Barbara Rychlik, Subbarao Bondada Jan 1989

A Specific Defect In The Proliferative Capacity Of B Cells From Old Mice Stimulated With Autoreactive T Cells, Prakash S. Nagarkatti, Aruna Seth, Mitzi Nagarkatti, Natarajan Muthusamy, Barbara Rychlik, Subbarao Bondada

Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics Faculty Publications

B lymphocytes from aged mice were found to be defective in their ability to proliferate in response to stimulation with an autoreactive T cell clone D1.4. The differentiative response leading to antibody secretion was also impaired in the auto D1.4 T cell-stimulated B cells from old mice in comparison to similarly stimulated B cells from young mice. The B cells from old mice were competent in activating the autoreactive T cells such that the T cells were induced to proliferate. The B cell defect appears to be restricted to a certain phase of B cell activation, since old mouse B …

En esta edición de Quality/Calidad/Qualité se da información sobre un programa de planificación familiar postnatal que se lleva a cabo en el Centro Sfax del Hospital de Tunisia para Maternidad y Recién Nacidos. Este programa, desarrollado conjuntamente por el programa nacional de planificación familiar y por el personal de Maternidad, ha tenido extraordinario éxito en lograr que un mayor número de madres regresen después de seis semanas a su visita postnatal. Durante la visita, el período entre nacimientos se discute; y se ofrecen servicios de planificación familiar como medio importante para lograr tanto la recuperación y la buena salud de …


In Vivo Formation Of Hybrid Toxins Comprising Shiga Toxin And The Shiga-Like Toxins And Role Of The B Subunit In Localization And Cytotoxic Activity, Debra L. Weinstein, Matthew P. Jackson, Liyanage P. Perera, Randall K. Holmes, Alison D. O'Brien Jan 1989

In Vivo Formation Of Hybrid Toxins Comprising Shiga Toxin And The Shiga-Like Toxins And Role Of The B Subunit In Localization And Cytotoxic Activity, Debra L. Weinstein, Matthew P. Jackson, Liyanage P. Perera, Randall K. Holmes, Alison D. O'Brien

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

Shiga toxin, Shiga-like toxin I (SLT-I) and Shiga-like toxin II (SLT-H) are cell-associated cytotoxins that kill both Vero cells and HeLa cells, whereas Shiga-like toxin II variant (SLT-llv) is an extracellular cytotoxin that is more cytotoxic for Vero cells than for HeLa cells. The basis for these differences in cytotoxin localization and host cell specificity were examined in this study. The A and B subunit genes of Shiga toxin and the SLTs were recombined by two methods so that hybrid toxins would be formed in vivo. Complementation of heterologous subunits was accomplished by cloning the individual A and B subunit …


Neonatal Screening For Congenital Hypothyroidism In Pakistan, Murntaz Lakhani, Mohammad Khurshid, Shehla H. Naqvi, Mohammad Akber Jan 1989

Neonatal Screening For Congenital Hypothyroidism In Pakistan, Murntaz Lakhani, Mohammad Khurshid, Shehla H. Naqvi, Mohammad Akber

Department of Paediatrics and Child Health

Congenital hypothyroidism is a preventable cause of mental retardation. Since clinical signs of congenital hypothyroidism do not generally become obvious before three months of age, screening programmes have been introduced in North America and Europe, which consist of T4 or TSH screening on newborn infants on the third day of life. The screening for congenital hypothyroidism was initiated in Pakistan by the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) in March 1987. By April 1988, 5000 neonates were screened and five cases of congenital hypothyroidism were diagnosed. The study revealed the incidence of hypothyroidism to be one case per 1000 newborns which …
