Combined pancreas and kidney transplantation normalizes protein metabolism in insulin-dependent diabetic-uremic patients.

Description : In order to assess the combined and separate effects of pancreas and kidney transplant on whole-body protein metabolism, 9 insulin-dependent diabetic-uremic patients (IDDUP), 14 patients after combined kidney-pancreas transplantation (KP-Tx), and 6 insulin-dependent diabetic patients with isolated k...

Predicting patchy particle crystals: variable box shape simulations and evolutionary algorithms

Description : We consider several patchy particle models that have been proposed in literature and we investigate their candidate crystal structures in a systematic way. We compare two different algorithms for predicting crystal structures: (i) an approach based on Monte Carlo simulations in the isobaric-isotherm...

Probing the tertiary structure of proteins by limited proteolysis and mass spectrometry: the case of Minibody.

Description : A strategy that combines limited proteolysis experiments and mass spectrometric analysis of the fragments generated has been developed to probe protease-accessible sites on the protein surface. This integrated approach has been employed to investigate the tertiary structure of the Minibody, a de nov...

Surface topology of Minibody by selective chemical modifications and mass spectrometry.

Description : The surface topology of the Minibody, a small de novo-designed beta-protein, has been probed by a strategy that combines selective chemical modification with a variety of reagents and mass spectrometric analysis of the modified fragments. Under appropriate conditions, the susceptibility of individua...

Transverse cylindrical grinding of a eutectic alloy

Description : We report herein on a comparison of the performance of two different grinding wheels (conventional and CBN) in the transverse cylindrical grinding of a eutectic alloy. Three cutting conditions were tested: rough, semi-finishing and finishing. The parameters of evaluation were the cutting force, roug...

Metabolic effects of successful intraportal islet transplantation in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Description : The intraportal injection of human pancreatic islets has been indicated as a possible alternative to the pancreas transplant in insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Aim of the present work was to study the effect of intraportal injection of purified human islets on: (a) the basal hepatic glucose pro...

Metabolic effects of liver transplantation in cirrhotic patients.

Description : To assess whether liver transplantation (LTx) can correct the metabolic alterations of chronic liver disease, 14 patients (LTx-5) were studied 5+/-1 mo after LTx, 9 patients (LTx-13) 13+/-1 mo after LTx, and 10 patients (LTx-26) 26+/-2 months after LTx. Subjects with chronic uveitis (CU) and healthy...

An integration of genome-wide association study and gene expression profiling to prioritize the discovery of novel susceptibility loci for osteoporosis-related traits

Description : Osteoporosis is a complex disorder and commonly leads to fractures in elderly persons. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become an unbiased approach to identify variations in the genome that potentially affect health. However, the genetic variants identified so far only explain a small pro...
