Fluid transport by cultured corneal epithelial cell layers

Yang, H, Reinach, P, Koniarek, J, Wang, Z, Iserovich, P, Fischbarg, J

BACKGROUND/AIMS—Fluid transport across the in vitro corneal epithelium is short lived, hence difficult to detect and characterise. Since stable rates of fluid transport across several cultured...

Incorporating Both Undesirable Outputs and Uncontrollable Variables into DEA: the Performance of Chinese Coal-Fired Power Plants

Yang, H., Pollitt, M.

There are two difficulties in doing an objective evaluation of the performance of decision-making units (DMUs). The first one is how to treat undesirable outputs jointly produced with the desirable...

Measurement of vitamin D levels in inflammatory bowel disease patients reveals a subset of Crohn’s disease patients with elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and low bone mineral density

Abreu, M T, Kantorovich, V, Vasiliauskas, E A, Gruntmanis, U, Matuk, R, Daigle, K, ...

Objectives: Many patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) have low bone mineral density (BMD) that may not be solely attributable to glucocorticoid use. We hypothesised that low BMD in patients with CD...

PYY-preferring receptor in the dorsal vagal complex and its involvement in PYY stimulation of gastric acid secretion in rats

Yang, H, Li, W P, Reeve, J R, Rivier, J, Taché, Y

Microinjection of peptide YY (PYY, 7–46 pmol) into the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) stimulated gastric acid secretion in urethane-anaesthetized rats. Using a variety of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and PYY...
