(8) When applied to the intact cornea, BAC with or without Na2EDTA caused only slight clarification of the endothelial cytoplasm, whilst in a few mitochondria the cristae were displaced.
(9) Participants were classified into three groups, based on the pattern of their BAC estimation errors-Underestimators, Overestimators, or Mixed Pattern estimators.
(10) In addition, many lacked an understanding of the relationship between the amount of alcohol consumed and the resulting BAC, and of the rate at which BAC decays.
(11) Moreover, in both cell types, A-II receptors were coupled to intracellular effectors since A-II: 1) stimulated the accumulation of inositol phosphates, although the effects in BAC were higher than in OAC; 2) enhanced the influx and the efflux of 45Ca2+; 3) increased cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i); 4) potentiated ACTH-induced cAMP production; and 5) induced A-II receptor loss.

(13) In unnatural death cases the BAC under 0.05% was found in 64% of the suicides, 62% of the accidents, 54% of the homicides and 51% of the drug intoxications.
(14) As compared to normal subjects, patients with all stages of bronchogenic carcinoma consistently had very high levels of IL2 in their bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and this titer correlated with an increase in NK activity in the BAC both in absolute level and in relative level to the blood.
(15) In an attempt to characterize such lesions, we studied the clinicopathological, ultrastructural, and immunohistochemical features of three mucinous and eight nonmucinous BAC (four Clara cell, four Type II pneumocyte) along with one sheep pulmonary carcinoma (SPC).
(16) Among brain-injured survivors with more severe injuries, however, we found that BAC level was positively associated with the prevalence of physician-diagnosed neurological impairment at discharge and with the length of hospitalization.
(17) Mortality was 4% and morbidity was 14%, varying from a combined low morbidity-mortality of 8% for ICA lesions to a high to 50% for BAC aneurysms.
(18) BACs were obtained in 150 of 213 fatally injured pilots whose bodies were recovered.
(19) No homology was found between plasmids pRJ6 or pRJ9 and the large Bac plasmids.
(20) Comparing a BAC of 0.15 or more with a MAST score of greater than or equal to 5, we obtained a sensitivity of 0.36, a specificity of 0.76, a positive predictive value of 0.86, and a negative predictive value of 0.23.

(5) The addition of SP to serum-free cultured endothelial cells, isolated from bovine adrenals (BACE) and from human umbilical cord veins (HUVE), increased proliferation of both cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner with maximal activity at 10(-8) M (BACE) and 10(-10) M (HUVE).
(6) Pertussis toxin treatment enhanced both inhibition of BACE cell [3H]methylthymidine uptake and remodeling of BACE monolayers by TGF-beta 1.
(7) TGF-beta 1 elicited growth inhibition, monolayer remodeling, elevation of steady state mRNA levels for collagen type 1 (alpha 1(1) and alpha 2(1)) and TGF-beta 1, and inhibition of p34cdc2 histone H1 kinase activity in BACE cells.
