Ventricular Remodeling Following Infant-Pediatric Cardiac Transplantation. Does Age At Transplantation Or Size Disparity Matter?, Girish S. Shirali, F Lombano, W L. Beeson, D A. Dyar, N F. Mulla, A Khan, J K. Johnston, R E. Chinnock, S R. Gundry, A J. Razzouk

Early left ventricular (LV) remodeling following pediatric cardiac transplantation has not been described. To identify patterns and determinants of change in left ventricular mass and volume posttransplant, we studied 125 consecutive children who underwent cardiac transplantation between January 1, 1989 and July 31, 1993. Two-dimensional imaging-directed M-mode echocardiograms were studied weekly until 26 weeks post-transplant. LV mass and volume (indexed to BSA1.5) were measured. LV mass index increased until 3 weeks post-transplant, and then decreased. The mean decrement in LV mass index after 8 weeks post-transplant (relative to baseline) was significantly larger in patients with donor-recipient weight ratio > 1.5 compared …
Stimulation Of Alpha 1(I) Procollagen Gene Expression In Nih-3t3 Cells By The Human T Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (Htlv-1) Tax Gene., E. Munoz, D. Suri, S. Amini, K. Khalili, Sergio A. Jimenez
Stimulation Of Alpha 1(I) Procollagen Gene Expression In Nih-3t3 Cells By The Human T Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (Htlv-1) Tax Gene., E. Munoz, D. Suri, S. Amini, K. Khalili, Sergio A. Jimenez
Selected Works of Sergio Jiménez, MD, MACR
The mechanisms that regulate the expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix proteins in fibroblasts and other mesenchymal cells have remained elusive. Studies from several laboratories have indicated that Tax, a trans-regulatory protein from the human T cell leukemia virus type I not only augments viral gene expression but also triggers the expression of various cellular genes. Here, we examined the hypothesis that the expression of collagen genes may also be modulated by Tax. NIH-3T3 cells were simultaneously transfected with a Tax expressor plasmid and a chimeric construct containing regulatory sequences (-804 to +42 bp) of the alpha 1(I) procollagen gene …
Impact Of Spinal Cord Injury On The Life Roles Of Women., M Claire Quigley
Impact Of Spinal Cord Injury On The Life Roles Of Women., M Claire Quigley
Department of Occupational Therapy Faculty Papers
This qualitative study was conducted to explore and describe the role experience of five women whose lives were disrupted by a traumatic spinal cord injury and who later returned to their communities after completing intensive rehabilitation programs. In-depth interviews and participant observations were used to examine the experiences of these women. The findings exemplify how the women's use of adaptation and negotiation and the development of a new role as self-advocate facilitated the reestablishment of their life roles. As the women's occupational roles were redefined, the processes of adaptation and negotiation were evident in three aspects of their lives: daily …
Computer-Assisted Instruction As A Learning Resource For Applied Anatomy And Kinesiology In The Occupational Therapy Curriculum., Susan Toth-Cohen
Computer-Assisted Instruction As A Learning Resource For Applied Anatomy And Kinesiology In The Occupational Therapy Curriculum., Susan Toth-Cohen
Department of Occupational Therapy Faculty Papers
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of these studies was to examine the learning outcomes of a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) tutorial in applied anatomy and kinesiology for occupational therapy students and to determine its applicability for use in two university settings.
METHOD: Two separate pilot studies were conducted at two universities. In each study, the learning outcomes of an experimental group of occupational therapy students using a CAI program and a control group using books to study the same material were compared. Learning outcomes were assessed with post-test achievement test scores on an applied anatomy and kinesiology test and responses to an attitude …
Anti-Human Immunodeficiency Virus (Hiv) Activities Of Halogenated Gomisin J Derivatives, New Nonnucleoside Inhibitors Of Hiv Type 1 Reverse Transcriptase, Toshiaki Fujihashi, Hiroto Hara, Toshiya Sakata, Kazuya Mori, Hirotaka Higuchi, Akio Tanaka, Hideko Kaji, Akira Kaji

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty Papers
Halogenated gomisin J (a derivative of lignan compound), represented by the bromine derivative 1506 [(6R, 7S, S-biar)-4,9-dibromo-3,10-dihydroxy-1,2,11,12-tetramethoxy-6, 7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8- tetrahydrodibenzo[a,c]cyclo-octene], was found to be a potent inhibitor of the cytopathic effects of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) on MT-4 human T cells (50% effective dose, 0.1 to 0.5 microM). Gomisin J derivatives were active in preventing p24 production from acutely HIV-1-infected H9 cells. The selective indices (toxic dose/effective dose) of these compounds were as high as > 300 in some systems. 1506 was active against 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine-resistant HIV-1 and acted synergistically with AZT and 2',3'-ddC. 1506 inhibited HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) in …

Mentorship Experiences In A Group Of Occupational Therapy Leaders., Ruth Levine Schemm, Theodore Bross
Mentorship Experiences In A Group Of Occupational Therapy Leaders., Ruth Levine Schemm, Theodore Bross
Department of Occupational Therapy Faculty Papers
OBJECTIVES: The development of occupational therapy leaders is a long-held goal of many members of the American Occupational Therapy Association and of state associations. The initiation of mentor programs is a common means to accomplish this goal. These programs take time and effort, and, although occupational therapists have described how mentorship programs work in the literature, there are few articles that describe the actual mentorship experiences of occupational therapy leaders.
METHOD: To study the experiences of elected occupational therapy leaders, a 30-item questionnaire was distributed at the annual meeting of the Committee of State Association Presidents and completed by 53 …
The Association Of Near Poverty Status With Cancer Incidence Among Black And White Adults, Kevin M. Gorey
The Association Of Near Poverty Status With Cancer Incidence Among Black And White Adults, Kevin M. Gorey
Social Work Publications
This cumulative incidence study was accomplished among adults in Upstate New York metropolitan areas (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany--1979-1986). It used a new ecological socioeconomic status measure--near poverty status (i.e., below 200% of the federally established poverty criterion, including the poor and near poor)--and observed its association with site-specific cancer incidence (lung, stomach, cervix uteri, prostate, colon, rectum and breast). Findings were: 1) near poverty status is directly associated with each cancer site's incidence and the strength of the associations are similar among blacks and whites for each one and 2) the prevalence of exposure, of living in high near …
