1,594 | 8,073 | Effect of thromboxane antagonists on ozone-induced airway responses in dogs.
Airway hyperresponsiveness after inhaled ozone in dogs may occur as a result of thromboxane release in the airway.
In this study, two thromboxane receptor antagonists, L-655,240 and L-670,596, were used in doses that inhibit the response to ... | C20 |

Definitive diagnosis and prompt treatment with heparin should be used for patients with pulmonary thromboembolism. | C20 |
1,597 | 5,243 | Parathyroid hormone-related peptide in plasma of patients with hypercalcemia and malignant lesions
We developed and validated a radioimmunoassay for circulating human parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP), based on a commercial antiserum to the synthetic 1-34 fragment of PTHrP, 125I-Tyr degrees-PTHrP(1-34) as r... | C20 |

Nearly 30 years have elapsed since Rowe and Weller and their colleagues discovered human cytomegalovirus (CMV).
Because of its complex structure, long replicative cycle, low yield in vitro, and highly species-specific cell-substrate requirement, the cellular... | C20 |
1,599 | 5,782 | Organ-specific and systemic autoimmune diseases originate from defects in hematopoietic stem cells.
Transplantation of bone marrow cells from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, a model for type 1 diabetes mellitus, to C3H/HeN mice, which express I-E alpha molecules and have aspartic acid at residue 57 of the I-A beta chain... | C20 |
