(13) These studies suggest that certain perineuronal glia are transformed into reactive astrocytes in areas of ischemic neuronal necrosis, although current data are insufficient to determine if the transforming cells are astrocytes, light oligodendrocytes, or intermediate glia.
(14) Glia occupied 25% of the neuropil within 1 mm of the dorsal root-transplant interface, but only 6% of the neuropil 1-2 mm from the interface.
(15) In the presence of beta-alanine (10(-3) M), a substrate specific inhibitor of high-affinity GABA transport into glia, tritiated GABA was accumulated by a high-affinity uptake system into myenteric ganglia and a subpopulation of mucosal cells.
(16) It was of interest to determine whether this class of glia is essential to the normal cytoarchitectural development of the neural retina.
(17) Proliferation of glia cells and decrease of nerve cells were also noted.
(18) Diverse molecules rapidly traverse the periaxonal sheath and a fraction of them enters the axons from glia or the glia from axons.
(19) Both types of cells are closely associated with processes of radial ependymal glia cells, which perhaps orient their migratory pathways.
(20) In addition, during regeneration, optic nerve glia express large amounts of the 50 kDa cytoskeletal protein, which they ordinarily express at only minimal levels.

(7) Analysis of screen-detected and interval cancer data by means of statistical modelling using GLIM allowed us to estimate the mean sojourn time (1.91 and 3.97 years in 40-49 and 50-69 year old women respectively), sensitivity (about 90% for those aged 50-69) and predictive value at the prevalence screening test (about 100%).
(8) To this end, loglineal (Poisson regression) models were constructed of the IC mortality rates for both sexes, using the GLIM package, in which the regression coefficients are the natural Relative Risk (RR) logarithms of the various age groups (35-74 years), period of death (1970-1985) and birth cohort (1985-1960) with respect to the reference group mortality, controlled by the effect of other groups.
(9) Variable results on a particular bioassay exhibited by extracts from different colonies of a given species were analysed by the Generalized Linear Interactive Modelling system (GLIM).
(10) In particular, it is argued that classical methods as implemented in the computer package GLIM can be used as approximations to Bayesian methods, particularly at the initial stage of model selection.
(11) The bootstrap can be used in many statistical packages such as MINITAB, SPSS, SAS, BMDP, or GLIM, all of which are widely available, and could be useful in other areas of the pharmaceutical sciences where regression analysis is employed.
(12) In this report we present an accurate statistical approach using the Generalized Linear Interactive Modeling (GLIM) computer package developed by the Numerical Algorithms Group, Oxford, U.K.
