Extending the gift-utilizing residual human anatomical materials for training Pathologists' Assistants in surgical pathology techniques.

This study investigates the effectiveness of using residual human anatomical materials, obtained from a gross anatomy course, for training Pathologists' Assistant (PathA) students in surgical pathology techniques. We utilized two surveys to assess the perceived efficacy of this approach: one survey targeted PathA students to evaluate their training experiences with both human and animal tissues, while the other assessed the impact of specimen collection on the educational experiences of gross anatomy course students.

CART peptide analysis by Western blotting.

CART peptides have been implicated in leptin-regulated feeding, reward and reinforcement, neurotropism, and other processes. In this Western blotting study, at least six different CART peptides varying from 4 to 14 kD were found in rat brain, pituitary, gut, and adrenal gland. The peptides may be processed differently in different tissues and one species found in the rat was not found in human hypothalamus.

The cDNA encoding canine dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase contains multiple termination signals.

A 2288-bp cDNA sequence encoding dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLDH; dihydrolipoamide: NAD+ oxido-reductase; EC 1.8.1.

Calmodulin controls neuronal nitric-oxide synthase by a dual mechanism. Activation of intra- and interdomain electron transfer.

In neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (NOS), electron transfer proceeds across domains in a linear sequence from NADPH to flavins to heme, with calmodulin (CaM) triggering the interdomain electron transfer to the heme (Abu-Soud, H. M., and Stuehr, D.
