Modelling hepatotoxicity in HIV/TB co-infected patients: extensions of the Cox Proportional Hazards Model by Mlotshwa, Vintia Philile

“…In the resolution model multivariable analyses; non-consumers of alcohol and an abnormal liver function tests at baseline, were associated with an increased chance of resolving the first occurrence of hepatotoxicity. …”

Distribution and biosynthesis of LH-RH and structurally related peptides by Dutlow, Clive M

“…LH-RH-IR was found in extrahypothalamic brain areas, in gastroenteropancreatic tissues, in the retina, the submandibular gland, the thyroid and the testes. In view of a putative role of endogeonous LH-RH-like immunoreactive peptides in intra-testicular regulation, the molecular nature of the LH-RH-like material detected in rat testes was investigated. …”

The design, development and characterization of a self-replicating DNA expression technology by de Moor, Warren Ralph Josephus

“…This also provided evidence that the replicating gene expression technology has a definitively different kind of cellular impact and effect on transfected cells compared to non-replicating DNA expression systems. Pilot studies to test the technology in Balb/cJ mice indicated, the technology appears to be functional within this animal model and was able to increase gene of interest (eGFP) expression levels compared to an equivalent non-replicating DNA expression vector control. …”

Somatosensory processing by rat medial pontomedullary reticular formation neurones : responses to innocuous and noxious thermal and mechanical stimuli by Farham, Craig Jeffrey

“…This work examines somatosensory processing in "giant" neurones of the medial pontomedullary reticular formation (PMRF) in the rat, with particular emphasis on the response to cutaneous thermal stimuli. Thermal test stimuli were employed as these were deemed to be more precisely quantifiable than other forms of cutaneous stimulation. …”
