(1) In seven patients surgical correction of kinking with stenosis of the extracranial part of the carotid artery was performed.
(2) Occasionally symptomatic kinking of the internal carotid artery will require correction.
(3) A simple and effective surgical procedure as a routine method for correction of carotid kinking is described.
(4) It was concluded that photodimerization of the dTpdT unit to give the cis-syn product causes little perturbation of the DNA whereas dimerization to give the trans-syn product causes much greater perturbation, possibly in the form of a kink or dislocation at the 5'-side of the dimer.
(5) There is little chance of kinking the graft, since its angle of attachment is ideal, and due to the anatomical configuration of the transverse sinus, there is more room for the graft and compression is unlikely.
(6) On the aortogram, stenosis of the left common carotid artery, kinking and aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta were revealed.
(7) However, no reactivity is observed at the sites of the 40 degrees kinks described in the cocrystal structure (Steitz, 1990).
(8) However, there is enough evidence to warrant careful consideration of surgical correction in patients who have features of the carotid artery syndrome and kinking of the ICA as shown on angiography.
(9) The spin-echo technique with a short time to echo (TE = 40 msec) and a short time to recover (TR = 1000 msec) provided optimum imaging of tonsillar position, hydromyelia cavities, and cervicomedullary "kinking."
(10) Kinking, contractures, transverse splitting and disintegration were seen in muscle fibres from post mortem muscle.
(11) The former appears characteristic of circularly bent DNA and gives rise to a substantial retardation, the latter of bending across a knot or kink in the DNA chain associated with a relatively minor retardation relative to standards.
(12) The obstruction failed to resolve; careful longitudinal serotomy allowed the kinking in the bowel to be straightened and, at 1 year follow-up, there were no symptoms of recurrence.
(13) The most important contribution of this procedure is the decrease in manipulation of the ureter, resulting in minimal disturbance of the blood supply and in a straight course of the ureter without the risk of kinking or obstruction.
(14) Detection of venous backflow or obstruction, arterial stenosis, aneurysm formation, or graft kinking facilitated correction and thus salvage of the grafts.
(15) Proton and deuterium order parameters measured for the liquid crystalline phase of unsonicated lipid bilayer membranes are interpreted in terms of two motions: (i) chain reorientation and (ii) chain isomerization via kink diffusion.
(16) Twenty-three patients had slight stenosis, and bending and kinking were observed in 17.
(17) As we go along all these kinks will be ironed out.” Under Ghanaian law, farmers are only allowed to sell their beans to purchasing clerks who act as intermediaries between them and Cocobod.
(18) Failure to release this structure from the proximal ulna caused kinking and tethering of the nerve when transposition was attempted.
(19) During neo-pulmonary reconstruction, distal pulmonary orifice was shifted towards right to avoid kinking and compression on the coronary arteries.
(20) The large hyperchroism of the complex is consistent with loss of base stacking, as required by a kinked structure.

Example Sentences:
(1) To facilitate the cleavage of fusion proteins, we have introduced a glycine-rich linker (glycine kinker) containing the sequence P.G.I.S.G.G.G.G.G located immediately following the thrombin cleavage site.
(2) 192, 262-267) which has a glycine-rich "kinker" immediately after the thrombin cleavage site.
(3) The introduction of the glycine kinker into fusion proteins allows for the cleavage of the fusion proteins while they are attached to the affinity resin resulting in a single step purification of the recombinant protein.
(4) We have constructed two new vectors, pGEX-KT and pGEX-KN, which have the glycine kinker placed N-terminal to the thrombin cleavage site in order to minimize the unrelated amino acids associated with the cleaved protein.
(5) This kinker dramatically improved the thrombin cleavage efficiency of several fusion proteins.
(6) The change in location of the kinker had no effect on the increased thrombin cleavage efficiency.
(7) A strategy combining the kinker in the vector pGEX-KN with polymerase chain reaction has also been developed to express fusion proteins which when cleaved with thrombin released a protein having no amino terminal extensions of any kind.
(8) This glycine kinker greatly increases the thrombin cleavage efficiency of several fusion proteins.
