What's the difference between hugy and vast?

Hugy


Definition:

  • (a.) Vast.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The results obtained to date are not sufficient to allow the mechanism of action of HUGI to be defined.
  • (2) Refresh the page and there's a non-technicolour snap of 1954 hat-trick hero Josef Hugi down there now.
  • (3) Negative results were obtained in the other tests, but these results serve to demonstrate that HUGI is an inhibitor well-differentiated from other glycoproteins or peptides with gastric antisecretory activity, such as urogastrone and GIP.
  • (4) HuGi were incubated with H3 32PO4, stimulated with PMA or cytokines, and EGF-R were immunoprecipitated; IL-1 and TNF, like PMA, caused a 2- to 5-fold increase in receptor phosphorylation.
  • (5) The gastric antisecretory activity of an inhibitor newly isolated from human urine (Human Urinary Gastric Inhibitor or HUGI) has been studied.
  • (6) Josef Hugi, the only Swiss player other than Xherdan Shaqiri to score a hat-trick at the World Cup finals.
  • (7) Competition experiments at 4 degrees C showed that the cytokines did not interact directly with EGF-R; Scatchard analysis of binding of [125I]EGF to HuGi after treatment with IL-1 and TNF revealed an increase in EGF-R Kd from 0.75 nM to 2.9 nM with no change in receptor number.
  • (8) HUGI was given intravenously and its activity determined in the following test systems: gastric secretion in the rat with pyloric ligation; gastric secretion in the dog with a Heidenhain pouch stimulated with pentagastrin, histamine and a protein meal; acid secretion by the isolated gastric mucosa of the rat; gastrointestinal motility; bile flow and gall-bladder tone and arterial and venous blood pressure and heart rate.
  • (9) Exposure of quiescent cultures of human gingival fibroblasts (HuGi) and porcine synovicocytes (PSF) to human recombinant interleukin 1 alpha or -beta (IL1 alpha and -beta) enhanced the rate of glycolysis as judged by increased lactate production.
  • (10) Half-maximal stimulation occurred at approximately 1 pM IL1; maximal stimulation (2.5-4.5-fold in HuGi, 3-7-fold in PSF) was obtained with approximately 80 pM IL1.
  • (11) Importantly, in HuGi made deficient in protein kinase C by prolonged incubation with PMA, addition of fresh PMA no longer affected EGF binding, while the response to IL-1 and TNF was intact.
  • (12) The effect of the human rIL-1 alpha and rTNF-alpha on the binding of 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor ([125I]EGF) to its receptor (EGF-R) has been studied in human gingival fibroblasts (HuGi).
  • (13) HUGI was found to have marked activity only in the pyloric-ligated rats and in the dogs with Heidenhain pouches stimulated by a protein meal.
  • (14) HuGi cells were pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine following exposure to IL1.
  • (15) The effect of IL-1 and TNF on EGF-R was compared with that of the tumor-promotor PMA which is known to "transmodulate" EGF-R affinity by activating protein kinase C which then phosphorylates EGF-R. PMA caused a greater inhibition of EGF binding to HuGi (80 to 85% inhibition; ED50 = 500 pM), and recovery of binding was much slower.

  • (11) We report that specific human (dC-dA)n.(dG-dT)n blocks are polymorphic in length among individuals and therefore represent a vast new pool of potential genetic markers.
