Psychiatry related information on Sultan

• This paper describes the efforts of the Department of Family and Community Health at Sultan Qaboos University in providing opportunities for the development of 'hands-on' problem-solving skills appropriate for Oman [5].
• Forty-four children (20 male: 24 female) with West syndrome (infantile spasms, mental retardation/regression and hypsarrhythmia) diagnosed at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (Pediatric Neurology Division of the Department of Child Health) are reported, with thirty-four (77.3%) children constituting the symptomatic group [6].

High impact information on Sultan

• Using p21-luciferase reporter assays, we confirmed that CD40 induces p53 transactivation in RPMI 8226 and HS Sultan cells cultured under permissive, but not restrictive, conditions [7].
• Among other cells studied, human fibroblasts also released TC II into the incubation medium, while K562 human leukemia cells, ARH-77 and HS Sultan human plasma cell lines, and Raji strain lymphoblasts did not [8].
• Surface IR and IGF-1R expression, measured by flow cytometry, demonstrated that the MM cell lines expressed more IRs and IGF-1Rs than did the EBV, Ramos, or HS Sultan cell lines [1].
• Both alpha1HS1,2 and alpha2HS1,2 fragments show equally strong enhancer activity on the GL alpha1 and alpha2 promoters in both orientations when transiently transfected into a number of mature B cell line (DG75, CL-01, and HS Sultan) [9].
• In this article, David Arnot, Cally Roper and Ali Sultan review recent progress in transferring MVR-PCR DNA finger-printing techniques from human forensic medicine to parasitology [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Sultan

• RESULTS: Analysis of intensity of menstrual pain, as recorded by visual analogue scale and Sultan pain score (back and pelvic pain) during the first 24 hours of dysmenorrhoea, showed a dose-related effect of SR49059 [11].
• The authors describe a case of localized refractory idiopathic gingivitis in a 29-year-old patient that was successfully treated with hydrogen peroxide (Superoxol, Sultan Chemists, Inc.). The gingivitis was refractory to previous oral hygiene measures and was persistent in the face of meticulous oral hygiene [12].

Biological context of Sultan

• In both unpretreated root tip metaphases and pretreated mitoses of Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Sultan x Secale africanum Stapf F1 hybrids, Hordeum chromosomes tended to be nearer the centre of the mitosis than Secale chromosomes [13].
• The amplified ODC sequences in the Sultan myeloma cell line apparently originated from chromosome 2, as indicated by a unique hybridization signal in a 5.8 kbp HindIII fragment specific for the human ODC locus on chromosome 2 [14].
• A comparison of different human cells, the Sultan myeloma, a lymphocytic B-cell leukaemia (Ball), normal mononuclear leucocytes and leucocytes obtained from leukaemia patients, revealed interesting differences in the methylation of ODC genes [14].
• (1) Human myeloma cell line Sultan, resistant to 20 mM difluoro-methylornithine (DFMO) owing to ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) gene amplification, was grown in the absence of DFMO for a period of 10 months [15].
• The percentage of Cd in plant tissues points to a certain degree of water pollution in Sultan Mash [4].

Anatomical context of Sultan

• To determine whether the biologic sequelae of CD40 activation in MM cells depends on p53 function, we identified temperature-sensitive p53 mutations in the RPMI 8226 (tsp53E285K) and the HS Sultan (tsp53Y163H) MM cell lines [7].
• An increased mRNA content of spermidine synthase was found in phytohemagglutinin stimulated human peripheral lymphocytes and in cultured human myeloma (Sultan) cells stimulated to grow by change of the culture medium [16].
• Solvents were found to be very effective in dissolving the Sultan U/P root canal sealer (P < 0.05) [17].
• We report a 31 years old patient from the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital who presented with colicky lower abdominal pain associated with a tender swelling above and lateral to the inguinal canal [18].
• OBJECTIVE: This report aims at both estimation of the rates of overall nosocomial and urinary tract infection (UTI) and their linear trends as well as studying the potential risk factors of patients admitted to Al-Hada, Rehab and Prince Sultan military hospitals and developed nosocomial UTIs (NUTIs) [19].

Associations of Sultan with other chemical compounds

• The final spermidine level was comparable with that of the parental Sultan cell line with only one copy of active ODC gene [15].
• This study was conducted in the period of 2001-2005 in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology Laboratories of the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman [20].

Gene context of Sultan
