In cystic fibrosis and chronic bronchitis, airways are chronically injured by exposure to neutrophil elastase (NE). We sought identify factors required for epithelial repair following NE exposure. Normal human bronchial cells were treated with (50 nM, 22 h) or control vehicle. Following treatment, we found a marked sustained decrease in proliferation as detected Ki67 immunostaining. 3H-thymidine incorporation was also initially depressed but increased over 72 h NE-treated cells, which...
Escherichia coli polymerase 1 (Pol 1) and Thermus aquaticus Taq are homologous Type I DNA polymerases, each comprised of a domain, proofreading domain (inactive in Taq), 5′ nuclease domain. "Klenow" "Klentaq" the large fragments Pol functional polymerases lacking In available crystal structures full-length Taq, is positioned two different orientations: one structure, it extended out into solution, whereas other, folded up against more compact structure. Analytical ultracentrifugation...
Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires evaluation of residents' communication skills. These evaluations should involve assessments from a variety persons with different perspectives and opportunities to observe resident behavior. Our objectives this study were determine if parents, nurses, physicians significantly differed in their ratings skills; ascertain the degree association between these ACGME milestone data; elicit feedback residents...
The increasing prevalence of mobile devices in clinical settings has the potential to improve both patient care and education. benefits are particularly promising context family-centered rounds inpatient pediatric settings. We aimed increase device usage by rounding teams 50% 6 months. hoped demonstrate that use would access educational information determine if efficiency perceptions teaching.We designed a mixed-methods study involving pre- post-implementation surveys residents, families,...

Purpose: Approximately one-fourth of the estimated 676,000 children in US who were victims abuse and neglect 2016 less than 3 years age. Fractures are a common manifestation child abuse. To our knowledge, no research study to date has examined factors associated with medical staff filing Child Protective Services (CPS) reports suspected among pediatric patients seen Emergency Department (ED) fractures. Therefore, …
