Journal ArticleDOI
Proton NMR spectroscopy shows lipids accumulate in skeletal muscle in response to burn trauma-induced apoptosis
Loukas G. Astrakas,Igor Goljer,Shingo Yasuhara,Katie Padfield,Qunhao Zhang,Suresh Gopalan,Michael N. Mindrinos,George Dai,Yong-Ming Yu,J. A. Jeevendra Martyn,Ronald G. Tompkins,Laurence G. Rahme,A. Aria Tzika +12 more
TL;DR: Proton NMR spectroscopy shows lipids accumulate in skeletal muscle in response to burn trauma induced apoptosis, and the increased levels of bisallylic methylene fatty acyl protons and vinyl protons, in conjunction with the TUNEL assay results, suggest that burn trauma results in apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in recombinant retroviruses for gene delivery
TL;DR: A naturally occurring murine retrovirus has been adapted to serve as a safe and effective vehicle for the transfer of genes to human cells and this process facilitates the efficient introduction and expression of stable gene copies in human diploid cells from a variety of tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is real-time feedback of burn-specific patient-reported outcome measures in clinical settings practical and useful? A pilot study implementing the Young Adult Burn Outcome Questionnaire
Colleen M. Ryan,Austin F. Lee,Lewis E. Kazis,Gabriel D. Shapiro,Jeffrey C. Schneider,Jeffrey C. Schneider,Jeffrey C. Schneider,Jeremy Goverman,Shawn P. Fagan,Chao Wang,Julia Kim,Robert L. Sheridan,Robert L. Sheridan,Ronald G. Tompkins +13 more
TL;DR: Real-time feedback using the ipad YABOQ was well received for the most part by the clinicians and burn survivors in the outpatient clinic setting and can be tested in a future randomized controlled clinical study evaluating impacts on physician decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody‐Targeted Photolysis: In Vitro Immunological, Photophysical, and Cytotoxic Properties of Monoclonal Antibody‐Dextran‐Sn(IV) Chlorin e6 Immunoconjugates
Scott L. Rakestraw,William E. Ford,Ronald G. Tompkins,Michael A. J. Rodgers,William P. Thorpe,Martin L. Yarmush,Martin L. Yarmush +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of data obtained from in vitro photolysis of target melanoma cells, in combination with that obtained from the immunochemical and photochemical studies, indicates that the observed immunoconjugate phototoxicity can be reasonably quantitatively represented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased transcellular permeability of rat small intestine after thermal injury
TL;DR: An increase in intestinal permeability represents a transient loss of intestinal barrier function and potentially allows absorption of macromolecules such as endotoxin from the intestinal lumen into the portal circulation early after thermal injury.
