Low Toxicity Radiation Sensitizer, Barton L. Bergquist, James C. Chang

Patents (University of Northern Iowa)

Bis(5-aminofluorescein)dichloroplatinum(II), and substituted fluoresceinamine derivatives of this compound are disclosed as highly effective radiation sensitizers which enhance the effect of ionizing radiation on tumor cells, but uniquely do so without the usual accompanying high toxicity level to surrounding normal cells. A direct combination, single step reaction synthesis is disclosed for preparing bis(5-aminofluorescein)dichloroplatinum(II) from the reaction between an alkali metal tetrachloroplatinate(II) and 5-aminofluorescein.

Purification, Characterization And Distribution Of A Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase From Rat Brain Cytosol, James Richard Goldenring

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Tubulin is a major endogenous substrate for Ca('2+)- calmodulin-dependent kinase activity in rat brain cytosol. This dissertation details the purification and characterization of a calmodulin-dependent tubulin kinase from rat brain cytosol. The kinase, purified from chelated brain cytosol by sequential chromatography on phosphocellulose, calmodulin-affinity resin, and Fractogel TSK-55F, contains two calmodulin-binding, autophosphorylating subunits of 52,000 and 63,000 daltons, designated rho and sigma, respectively. The kinase holoenzyme complex has a native molecular weight of 600,000 daltons. Both kinase subunits demonstrate isoelectric points near neutrality. The kinase phosphorylated microtubule-associated protein 2, alpha tubulin and beta tubulin as major substrates. Calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of …

Caring For The Sick Poor: The State Almshouse At Bridgewater, 1854-1887, Lucille O'Connell

Bridgewater Review

The number of helpless poor in Massachusetts increased during the period of the 1840s, and the problem was greatly magnified by Irish immigration to the United States. Too large a problem to be solved on the local level, the Board of Commissioners of Alien Passengers recommended, in 1852, that the State establish three almshouses. Accordingly, the institutions were established at Bridgewater, Monson to the west, and Tewksbury to the north of Boston, and were opened in May 1854. By the end of the first year the number of inmates far exceeded expectations.

Research Issues Surrounding Holocaust Survivors: Adaptability And Aging, Benjamin J. Hodgkins, Richard L. Douglass

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The thesis of this article is that, in spite of a large body of literature on the subject, a significant need exists for sociological research on the long-term consequences of the trauma experienced by survivors of Nazi concentration camps. Most of what is known about the adjustment of Holocaust survivors is based upon limited case histories of survivors who sought psychiatric aid, or requested assistance in qualifying for indemnification payments from the German government. The social and psychological dynamics of successful adjustment to life after the traumatic Holocaust experience by the majority of survivors has largely been ignored. Reasons for …

左大腦損傷與右大腦損傷之中風病人智能狀態的比較, 以雯 袁, 瑞棋 詹, 道昌 徐

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

本研究修改Comprehensive Mental Status Examination，對81名因為中風而接受榮總復健治療的病人進行測驗，比較左、右大腦損傷對智力所造成的影響。所有的病人都是第一次受傷，單側受損，以右手為優勢手，測驗時病人身體狀況均已穩定，神智清醒。病人年齡分佈為3i歲至75歲，平均60.08±7.68歲。教育程度小學以下者13人，小學程度12人，初中14人，高中21人，大專14人，另有7人為不能確定其教育程度者。病人從發病至接受測驗之時間間隔為6日至90日，平均26.26±16.71日。81名病人中有32人為右腦損傷，49人為左腦受損者，49人中有18入為失語症患者。兩半球受損的病人在教育程度、年齡及時間間隔上均無顯著差異。 測驗結果，右腦損傷者在注意力項目中的digit repitition，語言項目中的naming，記憶項目中的orientation，remotememory，new learning ability，建構能力中的drawing to command及高層次認知活動中的每一項目都是以右腦損傷的病人表現較佳，兩組的差異達統計上顯著水準。 對測驗題目作因素分析(factor analysis)，抽出語言、抽象思考，空間關係及記憶保存四大因素。這些因素的發現，並配合大腦功能的劃分，可以解釋兩組病人在測驗上的差異。失語症病人除去之後，兩組差異不顯著，對這種現象，文內有進一步的說明。

Register Of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 Syndromes In The United Kingdom, Bruce A. J. Ponder

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A collaborative group for the study of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN-2) syndromes comprised of clinicians and laboratory scientists has been set up in the United Kingdom. Its aims are 1) to provide a basis for collaborative work on MEN-2; 2) to establish a register of patients; 3) and specifically to conduct studies aimed at defining the best policy for screening the families of apparently sporadic patients, to establish radioimmunoassays for family screening, and to identify large kindreds for genetic linkage studies using DNA polymorphisms.
